Virginia Highland, Atlanta GA

Updated September 2026 · Source: FMLS, compiled by the Terence Richardson Group

Virginia Highland is a Atlanta community in Fulton County. The FMLS archive we maintain shows 396 closed sales here since January 2020. That's enough to read this market on its own numbers, not Atlanta averages.

Over the trailing 12 months, Virginia Highland recorded 48 closed sales at a median price of $1,237,500. Median days on market: 6. That's about a week from list to contract, so buyers rarely get a second weekend to decide. The average close-to-list ratio was 98.8%, so the typical seller gave up about 1.2% between list and close. Since 2021, the annual median close price has moved from $987,000 to $1,135,000. 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.

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.

TRG proprietary data

How often do listings fail to sell in Virginia Highland?

35.1% of Virginia Highland listings that left the market in the 12 months through September 2026 failed to sell: 26 withdrawn or expired against 48 closed.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.
