Metro Atlanta Home Prices Showing Modest Declines — What That Means for Sellers

Recent market data show that home prices in Metro Atlanta have softened compared with last year, with median prices dipping slightly across the core region. According to the latest Georgia MLS data, prices are down compared to the same period last year, even as listings and inventory levels shift year-over-year.

Key takeaways sellers should know:

• Pricing trends are flattening out: After years of rapid growth, median prices have eased modestly, giving buyers more options and negotiating leverage.

• Homes are taking longer to sell: As the market balances, average days on market have ticked up, meaning homes without strong pricing or marketing plans may sit longer than sellers expect.

• Inventory is higher than 2024: More active listings translate to more choices for buyers — and more competition for sellers.

What this means for your listing strategy:
Accurate pricing based on real comps is now more important than ever. Sellers who price too high risk prolonged days on market and potentially lower offers, while sellers who understand the market dynamics can still achieve strong results.
