Atlanta area housing inventory totaled 14,455 units last month. New listings in November jumped to 4,066 — 16 percent higher than November of last year, but down 20 percent the previous month.

Gwinnett County saw the most units sold over the month with 817. The average sales price there was $281,000, a bit cheaper compared to its Fulton and DeKalb County neighbors.
