Atlanta’s housing market was “active and balanced” in June, reflecting strong demand and increased inventory, Georgia MLS said in its Housing Market Snapshot.   

“With the Federal Reserve expected to lower interest rates 0.25% or 0.5% later this month, a drop into the low- to mid-6% range could further stabilize the market and create momentum heading into 2026,” GAMLS said. “New, quality inventory is steadily coming online, positioning Atlanta as a dynamic market.” 

Specifically, home sales in the 12-county Atlanta metro rose 8.4% year over year to 5,479 transactions, while the median sales price dipped 2.8% to $418,000. On a monthly basis, sales were down 0.9% from 5,530 in May, while the median sales price was up 1.7% from $410,960.   

By dollar volume, sales were up 7.5% annually and 1% month over month, at $2.9 billion.  

Active inventory jumped 35.3% from last June to 22,581 listings, and new listings rose 5.8% to 9,589. Compared to May, active inventory was up 3.7%, while new listings were down 9%.
