Atlanta’s housing market took something of a breather in September, as days on market rose 10% from August, and months supply of inventory jumped 16.7%, according to RE/MAX’s National Housing Report for September. 

The number of closed sales slid 10.7% month over month, while active inventory rose 0.1% to 12,302. Median sales prices slid 0.1% to $335,500, but that’s still up 16.5% from September 2020. 

Nationally, closed transactions were down 7% from August, compared to an average  pre-pandemic decline of 15.3% between 2015 and 2019.  

The median sales price clocked in at $329,000, a 1.1% monthly decline, compared to an average drop of 3.4%. Year over year, the median sales price was up 12.5%. Home sellers have enjoyed annual increases in sales prices for 33 consecutive months, RE/MAX said in a release. 

At the same time, the 4.9% month-over-month decline in active inventory was more than double the average August-September decline of 2.3%. Through September, June and July were the only months in which the national active inventory did not decline on a monthly basis.
