📊 Q2 2025 Atlanta Housing Market Snapshot
The second quarter of 2025 started slow. April activity was sluggish—among the slowest we’ve seen in recent years—as the market responded to shifts in interest rate expectations and a dip in the stock market. But by late spring, the pace began to rebound.
Here’s how the numbers played out:
🏡 Median Prices Show Market Stability in Greater Atlanta
-
Median List Price: $450,000
⬆️ Up 2.3% from Q2 2024
Sellers remain optimistic, and we're not seeing widespread price reductions. -
Median Under Contract Price: $450,000
📊 Exactly the same as this time last year, signaling consistent buyer demand for well-priced homes. -
Median Sale Price: $450,000
⬇️ Down just 0.2% year-over-year—a statistically flat result that highlights how balanced the market has become. -
When the list price, contract price, and sale price all converge, it’s a sign of a balanced market—and a healthy indicator for long-term market strength.
📦 Inventory Trends: Listings Are Up, Closings Are Down
Atlanta is following a national trend: more homes are hitting the market, but buyers are taking their time.
-
New Listings: Up 10.2% from Q2 2024
-
Pending Contracts: Down 5.3%
-
Closed Sales: Down 10%
While activity is down compared to last year, it’s improved from Q1, showing a positive trajectory heading into summer and fall.
⏳ Homes Taking Longer to Sell
One of the most notable Q2 housing trends in Atlanta: Days on Market has increased.
-
Average Days on Market in Atlanta (Q2 2025): 50
⬆️ Up 13 days from last year
Compared to the lightning-fast pace of 2021 and 2022, this market is moving more methodically—which means preparation and pricing strategy are more important than ever to reduce your time on market and optimize getting top dollar for your home.
🎯 What This Means for Buyers and Sellers in Atlanta
If you’re thinking about buying or selling a home in Atlanta in 2025, here’s what you need to know:
-
For Sellers: You need to be priced right from day one. Presentation, staging, and marketing all matter—especially with more competition hitting the market.
-
For Buyers: You have more options than a year ago and slightly more negotiating power, but desirable, well-prepped homes are still moving fast. Be ready and prequalified.
This balanced market favors those who are well-informed, well-advised, and working with the right real estate team.
