Homes in metro Atlanta sold for a median price of $280,000 in the last year, but there are always some ZIP codes that command higher prices, according to the AJC 2020 Metro Atlanta Home Sales Report.
Around the six-county metro Atlanta area made up of DeKalb, Cobb, Fulton, Gwinnett, Forsyth and Clayton counties, 71,307 new and existing homes were sold from May 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020, according to Smart Real Estate Data of Marietta.
The median price of a home in the metro area rose 4.5 percent from the same 12-month period a year earlier.
Steep changes in year-over-year data may reflect the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the number of homes listed and sold beginning in March 2020. Sales numbers recorded before the pandemic show median home prices for the six-county metro area rose 3.8 percent when compared to the same 12-month period a year earlier.
The median price is considered best reflection of what consumers will find in the marketplace. Median price indicates that half the homes were priced above and half below the midpoint. An average number can be distorted by a few wildly expensive or very inexpensive home sales.
