This Week In Real Estate:
Here’s what’s new:
- Mortgage Relief Hits 10-Month Low in Atlanta
As of August 4, the average mortgage rate dropped to 6.57%, the lowest in 10 months—down from a high of 7.08% in May. This gives buyers much-needed breathing room in today’s market.
- Atlanta Housing Market Cools, Slowest Growth Since Post-Pandemic
In 2025, year-over-year home value growth in Atlanta has fallen to –1.4%, marking a sharp slowdown from the boom years and signaling a more balanced market.
- More Listings, Fewer Sales—Supplies Rise
Metro Atlanta is seeing a surge in new listings and a cooling in sales. Inventory has climbed significantly, though still short of the 5–6 months needed for a fully balanced market.
