What it means

East Cobb is not a city. It's an unincorporated area of Cobb County east of Marietta, and one of the metro's most recognizable submarket identities. The stock skews to established swim-and-tennis neighborhoods on mature lots. Homes here move faster than almost anywhere else in the county.

Over the trailing 12 months, East Cobb recorded 2,028 closed sales at a median price of $515,000. Median days on market: 20. That's about 3 weeks from list to contract, so buyers rarely get a second weekend to decide. The average close-to-list ratio was 96.7%, so the typical seller gave up about 3.3% between list and close. Since 2021, the annual median close price has moved from $380,000 to $475,000. That's up 25%. These figures come from the Terence Richardson Group's own FMLS closed-sales archive, refreshed monthly. It's the same data we price from.

How often do listings fail to sell in East Cobb?

32.3% of East Cobb listings that left the market in the 12 months through September 2026 failed to sell: 966 withdrawn or expired against 2,028 closed.

That means about 1 in 3 of those listing attempts ended without a sale, after the prep, the showings, the waiting. Each relisting counts separately, so this measures attempts, not homes. Pricing and the first two weeks have a lot to do with which group a listing lands in, and it's the number listing agents almost never show you.
