Is North Atlanta Still a Seller’s Market?

August 18, 20252 min read

North Atlanta Real Estate Market Update | August 2025

Are we still in a seller’s market in North Atlanta? Let’s break down the latest housing trends across Alpharetta, Cumming, Milton, Johns Creek, and Roswell so you know exactly what’s happening in your local market.

Alpharetta Housing Market Trends

Alpharetta continues to show signs of softening. Last month’s supply shifted from 3.77 months to 3.86 months, edging closer to a balanced market. While inventory is slowly increasing, Alpharetta remains competitive for sellers, but buyers are beginning to see more opportunities.

Cumming Real Estate Update

In Cumming, inventory levels have also climbed slightly, reaching 4.87 months of supply. This shows the market is moving toward balance, giving buyers more negotiating power while still holding steady for sellers who price strategically.

Johns Creek Market Insights

Unlike some other North Atlanta cities, Johns Creek remains strong for sellers. Low inventory and steady demand are keeping the market competitive, making it one of the hotter spots in North Atlanta real estate.

Roswell Real Estate Market Conditions

Roswell is also holding strong in a seller’s market. With families settling into the new school year, activity often slows in August and September, but homes that are well-prepared and priced correctly are still selling quickly.

Milton Real Estate Overview

Milton is experiencing similar conditions as nearby markets, with inventory increasing but demand still favoring sellers. Buyers should keep an eye on this area as opportunities slowly open up.

What This Means for North Atlanta Homeowners

While the North Atlanta real estate market is showing signs of softening in areas like Alpharetta and Cumming, neighborhoods such as Johns Creek and Roswell remain firmly in a seller’s market.

It’s important not to get caught up in national headlines—what’s happening in other parts of the country may not reflect what’s happening here in North Atlanta. Our region continues to provide strong returns on investment, especially for well-prepared sellers.
