University Heights, Decatur GA
Updated September 2026 · Source: FMLS, compiled by the Terence Richardson Group
University Heights is a Decatur community in DeKalb County. The FMLS archive we maintain shows 50 closed sales here since January 2020. That's enough to read this market on its own numbers, not Decatur averages.
Only 10 homes closed in University Heights over the trailing 12 months, too few for a reliable median. In 2023, the last year with enough sales, the median was $525,000. Since 2021, the annual median close price has moved from $385,000 to $525,000. That's up 36%. These figures come from the Terence Richardson Group's own FMLS closed-sales archive, refreshed monthly. It's the same data we price from.
As of September 2026, homes here have been moving quickly. Buyers should arrive with financing settled. Sellers should expect their price to be tested against recent closings, not hopes.
