Average sales price declines in many luxury markets

The average sales price for single family detached homes sold in Cobb, DeKalb, Forsyth, Fulton and Gwinnett counties in November was $326,621, or an increase of 4% from November 2016, and a 2% increase of the total number of homes sold. The month’s supply of inventory for Metro Atlanta in November increased to four months^*.

As I’ve said throughout the year, the intown market is diverse. The decline in average sales price in the luxury market is really showing up in the overall decline in ASP in the area covered in the Hatch Neighborhood Report. The overall decline in ASP for November is 3% from November 2016, and the number of sales through November 2017 is 2% less than November 2016.

There remains growth in neighborhoods in the Morris Brandon elementary school district and in the Norton Park elementary school district in Smyrna. Check out how specific neighborhoods are performing by downloading this issue.
