Luxury Real Estate Trends in Georgia


Luxury buyers in Georgia seek more than just a home—they desire an elevated lifestyle, an experience, a sanctuary that reflects their success and sophistication. The current trends in Georgia's luxury market reflect this pursuit of excellence, combining cutting-edge design with timeless elegance. Let us delve into the most coveted features and trends shaping the desires of today’s elite buyers.

Exquisite Architectural Design - Luxury buyers are gravitating towards homes that embody architectural brilliance. From stately Georgian and colonial revivals to sleek, modern masterpieces, the focus is on bespoke design that stands out. High ceilings, grand foyers, and expansive windows that offer panoramic views are in high demand. Custom-built properties with unique architectural elements not only provide aesthetic pleasure but also enhance the exclusivity and prestige of the residence.

Smart Home Integration - In today’s fast-paced world, technology plays a crucial role in luxury living. Smart home integration is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Georgia’s high-end homes are equipped with state-of-the-art automation systems that control lighting, climate, security, and entertainment with a touch of a button or a simple voice command. Buyers seek homes that offer seamless connectivity and advanced security features, ensuring convenience and peace of mind.

Opulent Outdoor Spaces - Luxury extends beyond the interiors, with outdoor spaces becoming as lavish as their indoor counterparts. Buyers desire expansive, meticulously landscaped grounds featuring infinity pools, outdoor kitchens, and living areas complete with fireplaces and plush seating. These outdoor sanctuaries are designed for both relaxation and entertaining, providing a private retreat that enhances the overall living experience.

Wellness and Fitness Amenities - Health and wellness have become paramount, and luxury homes are now incorporating dedicated wellness spaces. Buyers look for properties that offer private gyms, yoga studios, and spa facilities, including saunas and steam rooms. These amenities are not just about fitness; they reflect a holistic approach to well-being, catering to the physical and mental health needs of residents.

Gourmet Kitchens and Wine Cellars - The heart of the home in luxury properties is undoubtedly the kitchen. Gourmet kitchens equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, custom cabinetry, and large islands for entertaining are a must-have. Additionally, wine cellars and tasting rooms are increasingly popular, offering a sophisticated space to store and savor fine vintages. These features are essential for buyers who appreciate culinary excellence and the art of entertaining.

Sustainable Luxury - Eco-consciousness is at the forefront of luxury real estate trends. Buyers are increasingly interested in homes that offer sustainable living without compromising on style and comfort. Features such as energy-efficient appliances, solar panels, and sustainable building materials are highly desirable. Properties that blend luxury with environmental responsibility appeal to the modern buyer who values both elegance and sustainability.

Personalized Spaces - Today’s luxury buyers seek homes that reflect their personal style and cater to their unique needs. This includes everything from custom libraries and home theaters to bespoke dressing rooms and private offices. Personalization extends to every aspect of the home, ensuring that each space is tailored to the owner’s lifestyle and preferences.

Prime Locations - Location remains a cornerstone of luxury real estate. In Georgia, affluent buyers are drawn to prestigious neighborhoods that offer both privacy and proximity to cultural and social amenities. Areas like Buckhead in Atlanta, with its upscale dining, shopping, and top-rated schools, are highly sought after. Additionally, properties with breathtaking views, whether of the city skyline or serene natural landscapes, command premium prices.

In Georgia’s luxury real estate market, the pursuit of the perfect home is an art form, where every detail is crafted to meet the highest standards of excellence. From architectural grandeur and smart home technology to opulent outdoor spaces and sustainable features, today’s luxury buyers seek homes that offer an unparalleled living experience. As the market evolves, staying attuned to these trends ensures that each property not only meets but exceeds the expectations of the most discerning clientele.

For those seeking to elevate their living and invest in a home that epitomizes luxury, Georgia offers a wealth of opportunities. Let us guide you through this exquisite journey, where your dream home awaits.

Our Prudential Georgia Realty Greater Metro Atlanta Real Estate Update is now complete with all of the details in this article below!  In addition, we have information on our Luxury Homes & Estates Digital Magazine!


Greater Metro Atlanta Real Estate Update




Real estate is heavily impacted by the laws of supply & demand plus a few other factors like mortgage rates and the economy. The “for sale” inventory across most markets remains very low. Desirable properties priced at market values are selling very quickly – often with multiple offers.



  • For the Greater Metro Atlanta area, inventory levels are down 36.4% from 2012 and 56.4% from 2011.
  • The available “months of supply” is 3.7 months based upon closed sales and 2.9 months based on pending sales. Six months of supply is considered a normal market.
  • The fallout rates of pending versus closings are higher than normal. Closed units are down for the past four months compared to the same month last year.
  • The pace of short sales and foreclosures coming on the market has slowed considerably. In 2010, over 60% of sales were distressed properties but that is now down to 37%. Resales are the larger mix of sales.
  • New Homes are making a slow but sure comeback. There are some wonderful new home communities coming online with the latest innovations in smart building that may be great options for buyers. Click here to view new home communities.
  • The Case-Shiller Index reports that Metro Atlanta home values have increased 13.41% in the last 12 months. But values remain down 29% from the peak of July 2007. Click here for the latest Case-Shiller report.
  • Home values will continue to rise in 2013 – especially in the lower price points driven by the very low levels of inventory and strong buyer demand.
  • Appraisals can be a problem. In areas, where prices are rising the appraiser may not be considering the latest comps or may not be able to use some comps that were done as private transactions. We can help provide information to the appraiser in the formats they require. This gives us the best chance to get the highest appraised value for loan approvals.
  • Mortgage rates remain incredibly low – but this will change significantly in a few years. The Fed continues their program of buying $85 billion per month in mortgage-backed securities. The simple fact is that mortgage rates are being held down artificially and the mortgage system must be restructured to be able to operate normally. That means higher rates and higher costs for financing are coming in the future.



  • This is an unprecedented opportunity to buy the home of your dreams while prices and financing are low. But these conditions will not last as the real estate market continues to recover.
