Georgia Market at a Glance: 2026 Seller Realities
Wondering if you can sell your Georgia home without a realtor? Absolutely — you can, but it pays to understand the current market before making a move.
In 2026, Georgia's housing market remains highly competitive. According to recent data, homes sold with an agent fetched a median price of $435,000, while FSBO (For Sale By Owner) properties averaged $380,000. That's a $55,000 difference in your pocket. Most homes spend 47–62 days on market before going under contract, with another 30–45 days for closing. Sellers who go it alone often see their listings linger about 20 days longer than agent-assisted homes — costing both time and potential offers.
- 95% of Georgia sellers used an agent in 2025
- FSBO sales dropped to just 5% of the market
- Average savings avoiding listing-side commission: 2.76% (about $9,000 on a $350,000 home)
But cost savings aren’t the whole story. Let’s look at how The Brewer Group makes buying, selling, or searching for Georgia homes easier — while keeping more equity in your hands.
Can You Sell Without a Realtor? Legal Steps & What Sellers Face
Yes, in Georgia you can sell your house without a realtor. This is known as For Sale By Owner (FSBO). But several unique legal and practical hurdles apply.
- Attorney required at closing: Georgia law mandates a licensed real estate attorney to handle all closings. This protects your interests and ensures compliance.
- Disclosure: While Georgia is a 'buyer beware' state, you must still disclose known material defects. Failing to do so can lead to lawsuits.
- Pricing and marketing: Without access to the MLS. Your property won’t reach as many buyers unless you use a flat-fee MLS service. Even then, professional marketing is up to you.
- Papers and negotiations: You’ll handle all contracts, negotiations, and contingencies — tasks many FSBO sellers say are the hardest part.
Missed steps can delay your sale or reduce your net proceeds. That’s why The Brewer Group offers Georgia sellers the option to list with expert guidance — or simply search for properties with maximum exposure and transparency.
Here's the thing:What FSBO Means for Buyers Searching Georgia Properties
If you’re looking to buy in Georgia, FSBO listings are just a fraction of the inventory. The huge majority — over 90% — of homes are handled by agents and appear on the MLS. That’s where our team comes in.

- Our live inventory includes standout homes in Peachtree City, Senoia, and Fayetteville

Pricing, Preparation, and Days on Market: Seller Tips for 2026
Pricing your home right is crucial. Overpriced homes scare off buyers, while underpriced listings cost you equity. Here’s how Georgia numbers stack up for 2026:
| Sale Type | Median Price | Avg. Days on Market |
|---|---|---|
| Agent-Assisted | $435,000 | 47–62 |
| FSBO | $380,000 | 67–82 |
- Use comparable sales from your neighborhood for pricing — not just online estimates
- Stage with warm, earthy colors, biophilic touches, and multi-use spaces to wow buyers
- Small upgrades (garage door, steel entry door) offer high ROI — up to 194%
- Professional photos and curb appeal matter more than ever
