Atlanta, GA housing market data

What it means

Atlanta is the center of gravity: the BeltLine neighborhoods, Buckhead, Midtown, Grant Park, Kirkwood, and dozens of submarkets that move on their own schedules. Citywide numbers are a starting point here, not a verdict. In Atlanta, the zip and the street matter more than anywhere else in the metro.

Over the trailing 12 months, Atlanta recorded 7,542 closed sales at a median price of $435,000. Median days on market: 39. That's about 6 weeks from list to contract, so buyers have room to compare and negotiate. The average close-to-list ratio was 95.2%, so the typical seller gave up about 4.8% between list and close. Since 2021, the annual median close price has moved from $345,000 to $398,000. That's up 15%. 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 Atlanta?

48.8% of Atlanta listings that left the market in the 12 months through September 2026 failed to sell: 7,187 withdrawn or expired against 7,542 closed.

That means nearly half 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.
