For the first time in over five years, the 3rd quarter of 2024 has brought a significant shift in the local housing market. After years of steady declines, the number of single-family homes sold has seen a slight increase compared to the same period last year. According to the market data, six more single-family homes were sold in Q3 2024 than in Q3 2023, breaking the trend of decreasing sales numbers that had persisted since 2020.
Single-family home prices continue to climb year-over-year, which is also great news for sellers. The townhome and condominium market, on the other hand, tells a slightly different story, and brings welcome news for buyers in Sandy Springs.

After years of steady price increases in multi-family homes since 2020, Q3 2024 saw a marginal decline in prices for the first time in recent memory. Buyers, who have been patiently waiting, may find opportunities in the more affordable market.
We are cautious but optimistic when looking at the factors that may be playing a role in the price dip. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to purchase, now may be your chance to act before prices potentially climb again.
