Feeling unsure about the NW Metro Atlanta real estate market right now? You are not alone. ???
The market has shifted. More homes are available. Days on market have crept up. Mortgage rates have eased slightly but are still well above pandemic lows. It is a different world than 2021 or 2022.
But here is what we are seeing on the ground across all seven cities we serve:
- The average median price across our service area sits around $456K, with the fastest markets in Marietta and Kennesaw still moving in just 12 days.
- Inventory has climbed significantly, giving buyers more choices and more negotiating power.
- Mortgage rates are around 6.65% to 6.87% for a 30-year fixed loan. That is near the historical average, even if it feels high after the pandemic era.
- Fall typically brings a second wave of listings, so more options may be on the way.
We wrote a detailed market update covering each city with specific data and honest advice. No hype. No sugarcoating. Just the information you need to make a wise decision for your unique situation.
