Buckhead
Neighborhood series. Most months are too thin for a median. 119 closings in the last 12 months. Use Atlanta as the pricing context.
Closed sales through 2026-09. Live inventory is a current snapshot, not the closed month. 43 active · 4 under contract · 7 pending. Total residential listings by status: 54.
Data confidence: High. 119 closings in the last 12 months. Enough closings to read a trend.
How to read a neighborhood
A subdivision with a handful of sales a year cannot support the same report as a ZIP or a school. The numbers below are a trailing year, not a monthly market.
- 119 homes closed here in the last 12 months. That is enough to sketch a price range.
- Ignore a single month’s median. One luxury sale or one starter home moves it by six figures.
- Price off Atlanta, then adjust for this subdivision’s size, age, and condition.
- 43 homes are active right now. That live list is more useful than last month’s median. Homes for sale in Buckhead, Atlanta →
Versus the FMLS footprint
Latest closed month only, not the 12-month figure above. The FMLS footprint is the macro context.
6.1 months of supply on last month’s pace (43 active ÷ 7 closings). 4.3 months on the trailing-12 pace (average 10 closings a month). These are different windows.Buyers have more room, especially on homes that have sat past 30 days. 42.9% of last month’s closings were below list. Days on market are down 57% from a year ago.
How homes actually closed
Based on 7 closings. One sale moves these percentages by 14 points. Read the direction, not the exact share.
Leading signals
These move before closed prices. Use them to see if the next 30–60 days look tighter or looser than last month’s closings.
New listings are outpacing sales and closed sales are already taking longer or reducing more. Expect more inventory and more negotiating room over the next 30–90 days.

What this means if you are listing in Buckhead
- Price to the 12-month median and $/SF ($2,158,639, $397), not last month and not the FMLS-wide number. Then check it against Atlanta.
- 6.1 months of supply on last month’s pace. Homes that sold in the last year took about 25 days. Longer than the 12-month DOM usually means the price is high.
- 60.9% of the last 12 months’ closings were below list. 24.3% had already reduced. Read that as a year, not as last month’s three sales.
- The live list is the competition. Homes for sale in Buckhead, Atlanta →
