Georgia’s Buy-Side Real Estate Market: Q1 2026 Analysis

Georgia Market Snapshot: Q1 2026

Georgia’s single-family market tightened steadily across the first quarter of 2026. Active inventory peaked in January at 37,184 homes and declined each month, finishing March at 35,106 homes, a 5.6 percent reduction over the quarter. Months of supply moved more decisively: January opened at 6.2 months, just above the 6-month balanced-market benchmark, before falling to 5.0 in February and 3.7 in March. By the end of the quarter, supply sat well into seller-favorable territory.

Median sale prices climbed each month of the quarter. After opening at $367,500 in January, the statewide median rose to $380,000 in February and reached $385,400 in March, a 4.9 percent gain across three months. Days on market followed a different path. Median days on market held near 80 in January and February, at 79 and 80 respectively, before compressing to 66 in March as buyer activity intensified.

Year-over-year context sharpens the picture. January 2026 inventory of 37,184 homes was 12.6 percent above January 2025, and supply ran a full month looser at 6.2 months versus 5.2. By March, that pattern had inverted: inventory was 5.4 percent below the prior-year reading of 37,111 homes, and supply had tightened to 3.7 months, a half-month below March 2025’s 4.2. Median prices held essentially flat year-over-year across all three months. The quarter compressed faster than the same window in 2025, ending with tighter supply at a near-identical price level.

Georgia’s Top 25 Buyer’s Agents and Teams: Q1 2026 Rankings

Agent Pronto/CINC has ranked Georgia’s top 25 buyer’s agents and teams based on total transaction volume in Q1 2026. This proprietary buy-side data reveals both high-volume operators and luxury specialists who dominate Georgia’s diverse real estate market.

What the Data Shows

Georgia’s top 25 splits cleanly across price tiers. Eight agents and teams operate with median prices under $500,000, eight more sit between $1 million and $2 million, four fall between $500,000 and $1 million, and five maintain medians at or above $2 million. Sinan Zakaria leads the rankings with 55 closings at a $268,000 median, generating $16.9 million in total volume, the highest in the state. Naiverh C. Castelao (39 closings, $329,000 median) and John Kurtz and Grace Edrington (each with 32 closings, at $315,000 and $257,000 medians respectively) follow a similar volume-driven path to the top of the list.

A different model appears further down. Shanna Smith ranks 11th with just two closings at a $5.0 million median, generating $10.1 million in total volume from a fraction of the transaction count of the volume leaders. David Pruett occupies a middle position, ranking second overall with six closings at a $2.3 million median for $14.4 million in total. Anna Kilinski illustrates yet another approach, combining 18 closings with a $606,000 median to reach $11.3 million in total volume.

The breadth of price points in the top 25 reflects Georgia’s broad market. Median prices range from $257,000 to $5.0 million, and closing counts span from two to 55. Because the rankings are ordered by total sold dollar volume, agents and teams reach the list through three distinct paths: high transaction counts at price points near or below the statewide median of $385,400, moderate counts at mid-market prices, or low counts at substantially higher per-transaction values. All three paths are present, and no single approach dominates.

Conclusion

Georgia’s first quarter of 2026 saw the market shift from balanced toward seller-favorable as supply compressed from 6.2 months to 3.7, inventory declined 5.6 percent, and the median sale price climbed 4.9 percent to $385,400. Within this environment, the top 25 buyer’s agents and teams closed 355 transactions across median prices ranging from $257,000 to $5.0 million. The list spans high-volume operators serving the state’s mid-market, luxury specialists generating large totals from single-digit transaction counts, and a middle group balancing both, illustrating the diversity of paths to top buy-side production in Georgia.
