Consult With a Top-Performing Atlanta Agent<\/h3>\n

It takes just two minutes to match you with the top-performing real estate agents in your Atlanta market. Our data shows that the top 5% of agents in the U.S. sell homes quicker and for as much as 10% more than the average agent.<\/p>\n \n

What’s the average time to sell a house in Atlanta?<\/h2>\n

When you\u2019re thinking about selling your home, knowing how long it might sit on the market<\/a> will play a big factor in how you will proceed. This period, commonly referred to as Days on Market<\/a> (DOM), is an important metric to understand. Aggregate data from multiple real estate platforms shows that the average DOM for homes sold in the Atlanta metropolitan area is around 20.<\/p>\n

The days on market in any area totally depend on where the home is priced and the condition of the home relative to that price. If it\u2019s completely updated and really nice, but they\u2019re trying to get $50,000 more than their neighbor because of emotional attachment, then their house is going to sit on the market a little longer \u2014 or a lot longer \u2014 versus the seller who\u2019s priced appropriately,\u201d says HomeLight Elite Agent Mike Price<\/a>. HomeLight Elite Agents are the top 1% of HomeLight, consistently providing the best service and results.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn average, I\u2019m seeing neighborhoods in North Atlanta with 12 days on market and others with 32 days. Same thing in East and West Atlanta,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
