If you’ve been wondering whether homes are still selling fast in North Atlanta — the short answer is yes.
But where they’re selling, and why, depends on strategy, pricing, and presentation.


In this 2025 market, clarity matters more than ever — and some of North Atlanta’s most desired neighborhoods are showing impressive momentum, even as the market balances out.


 A Quick Look at the Market

  • Alpharetta: 23 days
  • Johns Creek: 24 days
  • Roswell: 21 days
  • Cumming: 28 days

The takeaway?


➡️ While interest rates and seasonality are influencing timing, well-prepared homes are still commanding strong offers in record time.

Milton | Where Luxury Moves Fast

Milton remains a top performer in North Fulton’s luxury market.
Neighborhoods like
White Columns and The Manor attract buyers who value privacy, amenities, and a true sense of community.

  • Average Price: $1.4M–$2.3M
  • Average Days on Market: 20–30
  • Trend: Low inventory, high buyer demand

Pro Tip: Luxury buyers in Milton are motivated — especially those relocating for schools or lifestyle upgrades. High-quality presentation makes all the difference here.


Alpharetta | Balanced and Competitive

In Alpharetta, the market is balanced — not hot, not slow, but smart.
Homes in
Windward and Glen Abbey are selling in under a month, with the most activity between $700K–$1.1M.

  • Average Price: $950K
  • Average DOM: 29
  • Trend: Move-up buyers and relocations driving steady sales

Insider Insight: Buyers are prioritizing turnkey homes with updated kitchens, light neutral palettes, and walkable access to schools and parks.


Johns Creek | School-Driven, Steady Demand

Johns Creek continues to be a magnet for families thanks to its top-rated schools and beautifully maintained communities.

  • Top Neighborhoods: St. Ives Country Club, Medlock Bridge
  • Average Price: $800K–$1.2M
  • Average DOM: 25–27 days
  • Trend: Consistent demand, limited inventory

Good to Know: Homes priced correctly here often go under contract in the first two weeks — especially those with recent updates and curb appeal.


Roswell | Charm, Community, and Character

Roswell’s blend of historic charm and suburban comfort makes it one of North Atlanta’s most stable markets.

  • Top Neighborhoods: Horseshoe Bend, Brookfield Country Club
  • Average Price: $830K–$850K
  • Average DOM: 30–34 days
  • Trend: Steady appreciation, strong buyer interest

Pro Tip: Roswell homes that balance modern updates with classic architecture tend to sell fastest — especially in family-friendly swim-tennis communities.


Cumming | Opportunity and Value

Cumming remains one of North Atlanta’s most balanced and approachable markets, with strong demand under $750K.

  • Top Neighborhoods: Vickery, Polo Fields
  • Average Price: $875K–$975K
  • Average DOM: 40–41 days
  • Trend: Slightly higher inventory = great buyer leverage

Smart Move: Builders and sellers are offering rate buy-downs and closing cost assistance again — making this an excellent time to purchase before spring 2026 competition increases.

What It All Means for Buyers and Sellers

For Buyers:
If you’ve been waiting for the right moment, this might be it.
Rates recently hit their lowest point of the year, and motivated sellers mean better opportunities — especially in the $600K–$900K range.


For Sellers:
Homes that launch strategically — priced right and visually ready — are still moving quickly.
Preparation, presentation, and clarity will determine your success in this balanced market.
