May Market Update: Atlanta

By Mark Spain Real Estate

Mark Spain Real Estate has summarized the key trends of Atlanta’s May real estate market to ensure you can make well-informed decisions and stay in the know. The month of May is drawing to a close! We’ve seen warmer weather, longer days and the beginning of the summer market. While we’re excited for the arrival of June, let’s not forget to recap the changes seen in May!

Hard Facts: Atlanta Market Update

• The current median sold price of a home in Atlanta averages around $260,000, up 3.8% from last year
• Your search for your perfect home won’t be limited in the slightest, Atlanta’s inventory has increased by 4.6% and the pickings are ripe
• In comparison to last year’s May market, the amount of time an Atlanta home stays on the market has increased by 10.2% and currently spends 47 days live. (A Mark Spain listing spends an average of 37 days on the market)

What Does This Mean For You?

Buyers, don’t let the number of days on market scare you! Interest rates are still down leading to a natural increase in demand. Everyone wants to buy, so you should too – don’t miss out! Timing is everything; now is the time to begin accruing equity.

Sellers, while it’s early in the summer months, we’re still seeing more inventory. This means we’re headed into a more balanced, normal market. Don’t worry about an increase in competition, people still want to buy! So go ahead and list – it’s better to start the process now before the late summer lull hits.

As summer settles in, the most activity will be seen in June, July, and August. The best time to get into the real estate market is now before the natural dip in the 4th quarter. Whether you’re buying or selling, you can be settled by the new school year and spend the holidays in your new home!
