Butner Estates, South Fulton GA

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

Butner Estates is a South Fulton community in Fulton County. The FMLS archive we maintain shows 43 closed sales here since January 2020. That's enough to read this market on its own numbers, not South Fulton averages.

Over the trailing 12 months, Butner Estates recorded 22 closed sales at a median price of $512,495. Median days on market: 61. That's about 9 weeks from list to contract, so buyers have room to compare and negotiate. The average close-to-list ratio was 96.8%, so the typical seller gave up about 3.2% between list and close. 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, the pace here has been measured. That usually gives buyers room to negotiate. For sellers, week-one pricing discipline is the difference-maker.

TRG proprietary data

How often do listings fail to sell in Butner Estates?

4.3% of Butner Estates listings that left the market in the 12 months through September 2026 failed to sell: 1 withdrawn or expired against 22 closed.

That means about 1 in 23 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.
