Atlanta Real Estate Market Statistics

Atlanta homes are still climbing with a September 2023 median sale price of $413,000 up 4.8% year over year, even as inventory stays tight at 8,247 active listings in October and only 2.8 months of supply in September. At the same time rent remains stubbornly high with $1,920 average monthly rent in October 2023, so buyers and renters will want to compare pricing, rent growth, and sell to list momentum before they make a move.
