Springtime in Georgia means blooming flowers, warmer weather, and… a hot real estate market. As the seasons change, so does buyer behavior — and right now, we’re seeing more buyers step off the sidelines and into action. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to make your move, this might just be your moment.
📉 Interest Rates Are Trending Down — Here Come the Buyers
After months of elevated rates, we’re finally seeing some relief. As of late March 2025, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate in Georgia is around 6.13%, and 15-year rates are hovering near 5.42%. For many, this drop has been the green light they’ve been waiting for.
It’s no secret that rising rates put the brakes on buyer demand last year — but now that rates are dipping, those same buyers are jumping back into the market, and they’re coming strong.
🏠 More Inventory, But Prices Are Holding
One might assume that more homes for sale would lead to price reductions. Not this time. Georgia’s housing inventory has increased 7.2% year-over-year, giving buyers more to choose from — but median home prices remain steady at $374,500.
In other words, there’s more to look at, but don’t expect deep discounts. Sellers know that buyer demand is back, and homes in good condition are moving quickly — especially in popular areas like metro Atlanta, Athens, and the North Georgia suburbs.
🔥 Buyer Activity Is Heating Up
We’re officially in what industry pros call a competitive season. Homes are spending an average of 60 days on the market right now, and multiple-offer situations are making a comeback in many parts of the state.
The message is clear: buyers are back. Whether they’re relocating, downsizing, or chasing their dream home after waiting out 2024, there’s a growing sense of urgency in today’s market.
