What the Latest Data Really Means for You



As we wrap up the third quarter of 2025, the North Atlanta housing market is settling into a new rhythm — not a slowdown, but a return to balance.


While national headlines talk about uncertainty, the real story here in Milton, Alpharetta, Cumming, and Johns Creek is one of clarity and opportunity for both buyers and sellers.

The Quick Snapshot


Metric Q3 2025 What It Means
Median Sale Price $450,000 Still 15% higher than 2021 peak — stability, not decline.
Average Days on Market 41 days A more measured pace gives buyers room to negotiate.
Seller Concessions 67% of closings Buyers have regained some leverage, especially on terms.
Overpriced Listings 73% Most required price cuts or failed to sell — strategy matters.

The Market Perspective — Then vs. Now


Back in 2021, homes sold within hours, often far above asking price.


Today, the market is more balanced — buyers have more options, and sellers need a smart, strategic approach to stand out.


For North Atlanta homeowners, that means:


✅ Pricing right from the start.
✅ Showcasing your home’s condition and presentation.
✅ Partnering with an agent who knows how to position your home in a shifting market.

The Overpricing Reality Check

This quarter, nearly three out of four listings in Metro Atlanta started overpriced — and most needed price reductions before selling.


In a market where buyers have time to compare, testing a high price no longer works.


The homes selling fastest — and for top dollar — are those priced strategically on day one and marketed with intention.
