Information and statistics on the latest trends in the DeKalb County real estate market. *
September 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Year over year, DeKalb County’s typical home value in September 2026 edged up a bit faster than the state overall, rising about 3 percent versus roughly 1 percent statewide. At the same time, months of supply dropped more than a third from last year to 5.4 months, signaling fewer properties relative to demand even though Georgia as a whole carries slightly more supply at 5.6 months.
In the latest monthly snapshot, prices showed a firm tone, with the typical home value up about 6 percent from August and the median list price also ticking higher. However, buyer activity cooled as homes sold fell nearly 13 percent from the prior month and about 21 percent from a year earlier, while pending sales were down both month over month and year over year.
Inventory trends add more nuance, as active listings declined about 6 percent from August and more than 15 percent compared with last year even as new listings also pulled back. Homes are taking a bit longer to sell than a month ago, with median days on market increasing to 54, yet that’s still slightly faster than a year ago and the share selling above list price has inched higher to about 17 percent. In a setting where conditions lean toward buyers but motivated sellers can still achieve strong results, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these shifts.

“Christy is a wonderful communicative realtor. She did a tremendous job from the listing to the quick sale of our home all the while keeping us informed. She has many years of experience and a network of people that are there to assist with anything from termite inspections to home repairs. I highly recommend Christy Chandler for your realty needs.”
“I did a ton of research to identify an awesome local agent, and Libby did not disappoint. I truly could not imagine a better agent to help us find the right home. She's extremely knowledgeable, super responsive, and has great contacts to get stuff done when needed. She's even continued to be incredibly helpful after closing. Most impressive is her dedication and integrity. I tend to be pretty cautious and cynical, but came to trust Libby 100%. Absolutely recommend her without any reservations.”
“Working with Robert Negrin has been an incredible experience because he genuinely invests in your vision, matches your excitement at every showing, and brings unmatched patience and attention to detail to the search. Even with exacting standards and ruling out multiple properties, Rob never pressures you or gets discouraged; he stays completely dedicated with a positive attitude, working tirelessly until he finds the exact piece of land or home you are looking for.”
“Kim did an outstanding job helping me find the perfect home for what I wanted. She answered all my questions. Very kind through everything. She went above and beyond helping me find my home.”

“We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Natalie! From start to finish, the whole team made the home-buying process as smooth as possible. As first-time homebuyers, we truly appreciated their knowledge, responsiveness, and willingness to guide us through every step. We are so grateful for all of their hard work in helping us find our first home and could not have asked for a better realtor.

“Surabhi, Nitin and their team fully justified that our decision to work with them was the right decision. They created a customized plan for our case and hit the market with a strategy which turned out to be the right one for us. They have a great following and impeccable marketing techniques. This typically gives an awesome online exposure to their listings eventually turning into a healthy in person showings. They, do consulting regularly, updating what’s going on in the market, how is the listing doing and what should and should not be done. There are umpteen complexities that can arise while selling a house but thank God we had SN by our side, their assessment of the situation and action is so accurate. They always came back to me with a solution. Our house went into market on 7/29/26 and was under contract by 8/21/26 in an extremely tough market with very low buyers and all time high interest rates (in recent times). In the end per my assessment it was a win-win sale for every one including the buyers. I would not hesitate to rate my experience with SN as Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.”

She really goes to bat for you throughout the entire process, even when it comes to hard negotiations. I would not have wanted to go through this process with any other person. Shaun Reynolds is a true gem!”

“Christina was amazing and I would confidently recommend her to anyone.

She was always prompt to respond, eager to answer any questions and immediately resolved any issues I had along the way, keeping things smooth sailing all the way to closing and after.

“Jenneisha is the consummate professional. She assisted us from long-distance as we were settling the estate of our family home. She served as our eyes and ears in the local area to ensure that the property was not only showcased in the best light but also to ensure that the property remained secure as we proceeded with the action to sell. She used her vast contacts and resources to ensure our home was shown in such a way that any buyer would see the value of the home as well as be able to see themselves making the home their own. Her communication skills and style allowed her to stay connected via text, email and phone to ensure that we always had the latest information and always felt connected. Her management of the property listing yielded multiple offers in a relatively short period of time which led to a successful closing on the property and a "win-win" for all parties. Jenneisha made us feel like we were a team and that she was always in this with us. Her vast knowledge of the Real Estate market in the area, her contacts, her professionalism and her compassion made this a very satisfying experience for us. Selling a family home can come with some emotions. Selling a home out of state yields additional concerns. Jenneisha Parker navigated it all to deliver a great sale and a great realty experience. I highly recommend Jenneisha Parker as your agent for ANY Real Estate Transaction. She is able to harness her superior skills, her vast knowledge of the market, her contacts and her compassionate nature to ensure that you feel cared for as her client. Because she always has her clients' best interest in heart and mind, working with Jenneisha Parker will lead you to a successful outcome.”
