FROM THE OCTOBER ISSUE

3,322

single-family homes closed across metro Atlanta's 12 core counties in September. The fewest of any September since 2013.

But showings went up 4.2%. The buyers didn't leave. They're just not signing. The full report walks through why, county by county, and what that means for your price. The current month's report is for subscribers; past issues are open in the archive.
