$423KMetro Atlanta median · August

The Atlanta REALTORS® Association's market brief for August 2026, published October 5, shows a market that is slowly moving toward balance.

The numbers

  • Median sales price: $423,000
  • Average sales price: $532,500
  • Closed sales: 4,157
  • New listings: 7,823
  • Active listings: 20,720
  • Months of supply: 4.7
  • Days on market: 27 average

What it means

Six months of supply is the usual benchmark for a balanced market. At 4.7 months, sellers still have the edge in most price ranges, but buyers have more homes to choose from and more room to negotiate repairs and closing costs than in recent years. Pricing correctly from the first day matters more for sellers now.
