Atlanta Housing Market Update: July 2025 Highlights You Should Know

by Akia Shaw

The July 2025 Market Brief from First Multiple Listing Service (FMLS) gives us a closer look at what’s happening in Metro Atlanta’s housing market. Covering 11 counties—including Fulton, Cobb, Gwinnett, and Cherokee—this report helps paint the picture of where things stand for both buyers and sellers this summer.

Market Demand
In July, there were 4,896 home sales across Metro Atlanta, which is about 4.5% fewer than last year. That dip means the pace of the market has slowed just a bit, giving buyers more breathing room compared to the busy years we’ve just had. If you’re trying to figure out whether it’s the right moment to start your search, a Housing Specialist can guide you through what these changes mean for your situation.

Pricing Trends
Even with fewer sales, home prices are still on the rise. The median sales price in July was $438,000, up 1.2% from last year. The average sales price came in at $538,500, which is 0.7% higher than July 2024. What this tells us is that Atlanta homes continue to hold their value, making it a strong market for long-term investment. A Skilled Agent can help you understand how to balance today’s pricing trends with your budget and goals.


Supply and Inventory
One of the biggest shifts this month is the number of homes available. Inventory grew to 20,820 units, a 33.5% increase from last July. Plus, new listings were up nearly 10% year-over-year, bringing in 8,763 fresh options for buyers. With more homes on the market, buyers have greater choice—and sellers face less pressure from multiple-offer situations. Having a Trusted Property Consultant by your side can help you make sense of these changes and use them to your advantage, whether you’re planning to buy or sell.

Metro Atlanta continues to be a place where families, first-time buyers, and long-term homeowners can all find opportunities. If you’re dreaming about your next move—or just curious about how your home’s value is trending—this July market report shows that there’s something for everyone.
