A Word from 2021 Atlanta REALTORS® President Cynthia Lippert:

“The theme throughout 2021 of rising prices and desperately low inventory have challenged sales figures month after month despite an all-time high of activity, ” reported Cynthia Lippert, 2021 President of the Atlanta REALTORS® Association as inventory in November was 25% lower than this time last year. “Buyers may be hoping to take advantage of a seasonal lull in activity, but we’ve yet to see one, and until we get more supply of housing across price points, we’re not going to see one anytime soon.”

The Atlanta REALTORS® Market Brief is designed to offer an overview of the Atlanta residential market by providing a synopsis of sales and home prices, and covers 11 counties: Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Fayette, Henry and Paulding. The numbers in the reports are updated each month to reflect any additional recordings from the previous month. Each month, the numbers reported for the previous month are updated to reflect additional recordings.
