January 2015 Atlanta Home Sales Statistics
If you are considering selling a home, you’ll be excited to know that the Atlanta market remains robust. January home sales were right in line with the 5 year average as is the number of new listings added to the first multiple listing service. The supply of active listings is substantially below the 5 year average which is helping to boost home sales prices, significantly, in fact the median home sales price is up 10% from last year and a whopping 32% over the 5 year average.
12 Month Atlanta Home Sales Chart
Right now may be the best time to put a home on the market. Home sales are strongest in May, June and July but March and April have been strong sales months, as well. This may be partially due to the jump a home seller gets over the vast majority of other home sellers that wait for the school year to end before they put their home on the market.
12 Month Atlanta Home Pricing Chart
Home owners looking to get the highest price can see from the above chart that June tends to be the month in which closed home sale prices peak in the Atlanta market. One must keep in mind, however, that it takes on average about 2 months to get a contract and then another month and a half to close. In conclusion, if you are looking to sell your home in the least amount of time and get the most money for it, you should be speaking with a Realtor now and getting it prepped to hit the market in March.
