“I highly recommend working with Cesar. One of the things I liked best about working with him was that he really seemed to have my best interests at heart. This man will be pulling out his phone light checking basement corners for any signs of mold or water and checking above every stove to see if there’s a proper vent or not. He noticed many things on walk throughs that my parents and I may have just breezed right past and he makes sure to point out the things he notices, good or bad. They say never trust a sales person but idk, I think Cesar’s just in it for the love of the game at this point. I dragged this man to a LOT of houses and he never once rushed me. He was very insistent that we need to find the right fit for me and that I not go past the amount of money I was comfortable with. This was my first time buying a home so I had about 80,000 questions and he was always happy to talk through any questions or concerns. He’s a fun guy to work with as well. In these trying times you need a sense of humor or the home buying process will be miserable. All in all I would definitely recommend working with him.”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
New Athens home values in this rolling three-month view are up compared with a year ago. The typical home value has risen about 13 percent year over year, while median list prices are also higher by roughly 6 percent. Homes are selling a bit faster than last year, with median days on market down around 10 percent.
Looking at the latest period ending in September 2026, pricing and activity show a firm but not overheated market. The typical home value sits near $200,000, and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 102 percent, with about 40 percent of sales closing above asking.
Inventory has expanded notably, with active listings up more than 80 percent from a year ago and months of supply higher by about 41 percent, now at 4.5 months. Even with more choices, closed sales are up strongly year over year, while pending sales have slipped slightly, pointing to a more balanced pace between new listings and buyer demand. Homes spend a median of 45 days on the market, and nearly half go off the market within two weeks, suggesting well-priced properties still move quickly. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting conditions can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a New Athens agent who understands the local numbers and nuances.

“Shelton did an outstanding job helping me find my home. He was patient, professional, and dedicated throughout the entire process. He took the time to show me multiple properties and made sure I found the right house for me. His communication and knowledge made the experience very stress free. I highly recommend Shelton to anyone looking to buy a home!”
“Jane Kolmer did the most amazing job pricing, getting 2 of our houses and our 10 acre property under contract and sold fast, all in 3 months time. Jane is superior on pricing and told us precisely what to do to get the most value for our homes. As well as what not to do to save money. She is very knowledgeable and educated in land and property. We benefited from it greatly. Jane’s valuable advice saved us a fair amount money when preparing each home for the market. Her expertise was showed when we sold all 3 houses and property over appraised value. Jane’s wisdom is unmatched! We appreciate Jane and the Tammy Mitchell Hines Team as we looked for over 4 years for our forever home. I would recommend Jane and the Tammy Mitchell Hines Team every time. They are professional and will get results.”
“Shonda did a wonderful job. She communicated clearly about the process and helped me to understand and set expectations. She made it feel like I had a friend on my side sharing enthusiasm and frustrations and made a great effort at learning more about me and my goals with purchasing my first home.”
“My husband and I worked with Judy to purchase our first home. She was incredibly responsive to all of our questions and was very passionate about helping us navigate and understand the process. She was amazing!!! Choosing someone to help us navigate this process was pretty scary, but she was on our team every step of the way! If you are looking for someone to help you buy a home for the first time, she's the one. :)”
“Eli did a great job explaining how things worked and what steps we needed to do next. Would definitely recommend. Made the buying process very easy! He knows his stuff and if he doesn’t he will definitely figure it out. Would 10/10 recommend using him and equity 55 group to sell or buy any property you might be interested in.”
“Wendy did an AMAZING job helping us find our forever home! She was so patient as we sought out a number of houses. She was honest when sharing her tips and advice as we searched for homes and throughout our tours as well. I appreciated her constant communication with us! She was respectful of our "check list", and was yet, willing to help us "dream up" our house at every tour or house considered. She is the BEST!”
“Lindsey was a wonderful realtor. She helped us purchase a house in 2025 and anytime we had any questions she walked us through every step and made it an easy process. We also had to wait two months during the shutdown and she stuck through it with us! You may not find that anywhere else. If you get the chance to work with her, do it!”
“Kristie Moore, is the best agent to work with. She is very knowledgeable and has a ton of resources to make the process smooth. I have used Kristie Moore in 5 different transcations and it ended with both parties very happy. Agent of the year!!!!”

“Just closed on my first property, and from the initial phone conversation all the way through to the closing table Jake provided value every step of the way. He came prepared with property details and market comps for each showing and made himself available at nearly every hour of the week to answer questions. If you’re looking for an agent with frequent communication, clear market knowledge, and strong negotiation ability, Jake is your guy.”
“Kim was great, making sure every detail was taken care of every step of the way! She took a lot of the stress out of buying a home and I would recommend her to ALL of my family and friends!!”
“Mark was over the top. He got us connected with an unbelievable Lender and was there for my wife and I every time we had questions or concerns. We closed on our house in January and it was easier than I could have ever imagined. I highly recommend Mark for too many reasons to list. Mark worked day and night for us for a few months and we couldn't be happier with the process or our new home!”
“We have worked with Julie on different occasions..She has been great..She is a hard worker and very knowledgeable about the current markets..We wouldnt use anyone else..Highly recommend..”
“Melanie was extremely kind and very efficient at her job. I could contact her anytime and she would respond without hesitation. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.”
“Rich provided us with timely advice and excellent local knowledge in helping us list and sell our home. He personally took the photos for our listing which led to a lot of initial hits, and later immediate showings, that resulted in a quick sale. I would not hesitate to recommend him.”
“We are first time home buyers and Sarah made it very easy to buy this house. She always called me back or text me back with the answers I needed right away.
