Buckhead’s rolling three-month data shows notable price growth over the past year. Typical home values are up about 17 percent year over year, outpacing the broader Atlanta market’s roughly 11 percent gain. At the same time, median list prices have risen more modestly, suggesting sellers are not fully matching the strength in closed-sale prices.
In the latest three-month window ending in September 2026, inventory is higher than a year ago while sales activity has cooled. Active listings are up around 12 percent year over year, but homes sold and pending sales are both down roughly 14 percent, pointing to slower turnover even as choices expand. Months of supply has climbed to 7.3, up more than 16 percent from last year and slightly below Atlanta overall, consistent with Buckhead’s neutral market reading.
Conditions on the ground show a mixed pace. The median home now spends about 60 days on the market, which is shorter than a year ago but longer than earlier this year, and only about 24 percent of listings go under contract within two weeks. Roughly 19 percent of recent sales closed above the list price and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under 98 percent, so sellers still need to price carefully and buyers may find some room to negotiate.
