More Homes for Sale. Steady Prices. More Competition for Sellers.
The July 2026 REMAX National Housing Report is out, and there is an important takeaway for anyone thinking about buying OR selling.
Across the 46 metro areas surveyed:
- Inventory increased 2.8% from June
- Inventory increased 4.7% from last year
- Median sales price held steady at $450,000 month over month
- Prices are still 3.4% higher than a year ago
More inventory is giving buyers something they have not had enough of in recent years: CHOICES.
Buyers: More homes to consider can mean more negotiating opportunities and less pressure to settle.
Sellers: More choices for buyers means more competition for your home. Pricing, condition, presentation, marketing and negotiation strategy are becoming increasingly important.
Where the National Numbers Meet Local Reality
Real estate is LOCAL. The national numbers provide perspective, but conditions can vary dramatically from one Metro Atlanta community to another.
If you are considering selling in Metro Atlanta or Northeast Georgia, let us look at what is actually happening in YOUR neighborhood before you make your next move.
"Your home does not need to be the only choice. It needs to be the BEST choice."
