The Hard Facts- Atlanta Market Update

• The number of active listings was down 42% from one year earlier, and down 1% from the previous month
• Compared to last year, the average number of days homes spent on the market was down 43% at 32 days
• The median sales price in January was at $305,000
• The number of units sold was consistent year over year and decreased 36% month over month

What does this mean for you?

Buyers, the low number of active listings could indicate that those who waited to buy may have had a smaller selection to choose from. The consistent number of units sold is a plus for buyers. Higher year over year figures indicate more buyers were able to find what they were looking for compared to the previous year. 

Sellers, the decrease in the number of active listings year over year means that there is less competition in the market. The average number of days home spent on the market decreased from 57 days last year to 32 days this January. This lower number of days signals a positive trend in the local inventory turnover rate! Sellers are able to sell their homes faster than before. The number of homes sold decreasing month over month could be an opportunity for buyers to negotiate better terms.
