The North Atlanta housing market showed steady movement from August to September 2025, with some cities experiencing price dips and others gaining traction. While buyer demand remains strong across the region, inventory levels continue to vary, making it important for both buyers and sellers to understand what’s happening in their specific city.
In Alpharetta, the median home value dipped slightly from $910,420 in August to $904,440 in September. Year-over-year price growth also eased from 4.9% to 3.8%.
Active listings dropped from 200 to 181, and months of supply tightened from 3.96 to 3.52—a clear sign of increased buyer demand and limited inventory.
