What it means

Buckhead is a district of the City of Atlanta, not a separate municipality, and it's the top of the intown market. Estate streets sit west of Peachtree, high-rise and condo living runs along Peachtree Road, and the metro's densest concentration of luxury retail sits between them. Condo and single-family segments behave very differently here, so read them separately.

Over the trailing 12 months, Buckhead recorded 1,385 closed sales at a median price of $825,000. 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 $454,000 to $850,000. That's up 87%. These figures come from the Terence Richardson Group's own FMLS closed-sales archive, refreshed monthly. It's the same data we price from.

TRG proprietary data

How often do listings fail to sell in Buckhead?

47.5% of Buckhead listings that left the market in the 12 months through September 2026 failed to sell: 1,254 withdrawn or expired against 1,385 closed.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.
