The weather is getting warmer and so is the Metro Atlanta real estate market. Pendings are up and closings are up. Below is the summary for Metro Atlanta with data through June 2017.

  • The listed inventory for June was up 5.6% from last month and down 5.4% from last June. But the limited availability of desirable properties is still driving multiple offers and very quick sales in select areas.
  • Overall months of supply for June was 2.9 months. Six months is considered normal. Luxury properties are taking longer with homes above $1 million averaging 13.3 months and properties over $2 million averaging 25.4 months to close.

  • The latest Case-Shiller Index for Atlanta (6/27/17) was up 1.42% compared to the previous month. Metro Atlanta home values are up 65% from the bottom of March 2012.  Increased homes values are building equity and getting sellers back into the market.
