What it means

McDonough is Henry County's seat and its growth engine. A classic Georgia square sits at the center, new construction radiates outward, and I-75 carries the commute. Much of the county's volume closes here.

Over the trailing 12 months, McDonough recorded 810 closed sales at a median price of $359,450. Median days on market: 46. That's about 7 weeks from list to contract, so buyers have room to compare and negotiate. The average close-to-list ratio was 95.9%, so the typical seller gave up about 4.1% between list and close. Since 2021, the annual median close price has moved from $315,000 to $346,000. That's up 10%. These figures come from the Terence Richardson Group's own FMLS closed-sales archive, refreshed monthly. It's the same data we price from.
