Current Georgia Real Estate Market: What Buyers Need to Know
The Georgia real estate landscape in December 2025 presents unique opportunities for savvy buyers. According to recent data, the market is shifting from the seller's market we've seen in recent years to a more balanced environment.
| Market Indicator | Current Status | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Active Listings | 43,565 (up 42.2%) | More choices and less competition |
| Median Home Price | $375,000 statewide | 3.2% annual growth - moderate appreciation |
| Days on Market | 28-35 days average | Time to thoroughly evaluate options |
| Sale-to-List Ratio | 97.3% in Metro Atlanta | Room to negotiate below asking price |
Jake Brewer, with over 15 years of experience in Georgia real estate, notes: "This market shift gives buyers advantages we haven't seen since 2019. With more inventory and longer market times, you can be selective and negotiate terms that work for you."

Navigating the 2025 Market: Expert Strategies
With 19% of pending sales falling through in Atlanta (up from 16.5% last year), understanding how to successfully close a deal is crucial. Here's our proven approach:
1. Get Pre-Approved, Not Just Pre-Qualified
In this market, sellers want certainty. A full pre-approval letter from a reputable lender gives you a competitive edge. We work with trusted local lenders who understand Georgia's market dynamics.
2. Act Strategically, Not Hastily
While homes are staying on market longer (averaging 28-35 days), the best properties still move quickly. We'll set up alerts for new listings matching your criteria so you never miss an opportunity.
3. Leverage Market Data in Negotiations
With the sale-to-list ratio at 97.3% in Metro Atlanta, there's room to negotiate. We'll analyze comparable sales and market trends to help you make competitive but reasonable offers.
4. Consider Emerging Neighborhoods
Areas like Oakhurst in Decatur offer that small-town feel with urban amenities at more affordable price points. We'll help you identify up-and-coming areas before prices climb.
The Cost of Living Advantage
One reason Georgia remains attractive to buyers is the 9% lower cost of living compared to the national average. This extends your buying power:

- Competitive Insurance Rates: Lower than coastal areas
- Energy Costs: Despite slightly higher electricity, no heating oil needed
