Although we keep hearing cries of “There is no inventory!” Sandy Springs saw exponential increases year over year in BOTH number of homes sold AND average sales price since 2018. By far, the largest increase in volume took place last year. Why? Historically low interest rates and substantial gains in the stock market were two large contributing factors.
Here is a look at average sale prices and total number of sales over the last 4 years:
