Georgia Market at a Glance: 2026 Prices, Inventory & Buyer Power
If you’re searching for a home in Georgia from another state, the market is different than what national headlines suggest. As of January 2026, the median sale price is $369,000, down 1.9% from last year. Homes now spend a median of 74 days on the market — giving buyers more time to evaluate options and negotiate.
- We have 100+ active properties in our exclusive MLS Georgia feed, spanning Peachtree City, Senoia, Brooks, Sharpsburg, Newnan, Fayetteville, and Tyrone.
- Inventory is up — more choices, less FOMO. Buyers aren’t rushing into bidding wars like in 2022-2023.
- Remote tours are standard: 70% of our homes offer virtual walkthroughs or 3D tours.
| Metric | Georgia (Jan 2026) | Brewer Group Inventory |

Remote Buying Realities: What No One Tells You
Buying from out of state isn’t just possible in Georgia — it’s common. But there are smart moves (and mistakes) that most guides skip:
- Don’t rely only on public sites. Our MLS feed gives you access to homes not found on Zillow, Redfin, or national portals.
- Local insight matters. School ratings, commute times, and even water pressure can vary block to block in Georgia suburbs. We’ll share honest feedback by video chat or recorded walkthrough.
- Inspections and due diligence: Georgia’s clay soil creates unique foundation risks. We book trusted inspectors who send full video/photo reports — you don’t need to be on site.
- Closing is attorney-driven here, not escrow. Expect a direct line with a closing attorney — our team coordinates everything. Including e-signatures and remote notary if you’re out of state.
New in 2026: Some districts opt out of Georgia’s property tax cap We help you move quickly on homes priced right, using local relationships to get your offer noticed.
Case in point: One recent buyer from California secured a Fayetteville home using virtual tours, remote inspection, and digital closing — all without stepping foot in Georgia until move-in day.
Financing, Taxes & Timeline: 2026 Data and What It Means
Out-of-state buyers face “hidden” challenges — but the right prep makes them easy to solve in Georgia.
- Mortgages: The average 30-year fixed rate is 6.09% as of Jan 2026 — down from last year, but still higher than pre-2020.
- Most lenders require Georgia-specific documents (more on that later). We connect you to local lenders who can pre-approve you remotely (often in 1–2 business days).
- Down payments: While 20% is ideal, many buyers succeed with 5–10% using FHA or VA loans. We’ll advise you on which programs fit your situation.
- Property taxes: Around 0.87% of market value, but school district opt-outs mean it’s wise to get a line-item estimate.
Typical timeline from accepted offer to keys in hand: 30–45 days. Remote buyers can expect:
- Full video tours and digital offer submission
- Inspection and appraisal via shared photo/video
- Electronic closing package. With attorney guidance
| Step | Avg. Duration | Brewer Group Support |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-approval | 1–3 days | Local lender referral |
| Home search/tours | 1–4 weeks | Virtual access |
| Offer/contract | 1–3 days | Guided negotiation |
| Inspection/appraisal | 7–14 days | Remote coordination |
| Closing | 30–45 days total | Attorney/virtual |
