July 2026 Market Update: North Atlanta

While temperatures across Metro Atlanta have been scorching hot, the same can’t be said for our local housing market.

As highlighted in the market summary below, home prices have generally moderated across much of North Fulton, while the number of homes selling has slowed compared to last year. One notable exception is Johns Creek, where median sales prices posted a solid increase during June.

Across Metro Atlanta, June reflected many of the same trends we’re seeing in our local communities and below is a June Y/Y comparison:

• Closed sales declined 22%
• The number of homes for sale continued to increase
• Buyers have more choices than they’ve had in several years

These trends indicate the market remains in a period of price discovery as buyers and sellers work to find common ground on value.

A Closer Look

To better understand what’s happening locally, we analyzed the Centennial High School district, which includes portions of Alpharetta, Roswell, and Johns Creek.

Some noteworthy findings include:

• 39% of active listings have reduced their asking price, with an average price reduction of 5%.
• The percentage of homes with price reductions increased 2 percentage points (200 basis points) compared to May.
• Homes with price reductions have now been on the market an average of 82 days, a 12% increase from the previous month.

* FMLS: 6/24/06 vs 5/31/26

Should Sellers Be Concerned?

The answer is both yes— and no.

Today’s market doesn’t reward luck. It rewards experience, preparation, pricing strategy, marketing, and skilled negotiation.

Homes that are thoughtfully prepared, professionally marketed, and priced correctly continue to attract strong buyer interest. In fact, many of our listings are still receiving offers during their first week on the market, with several selling at, or even above, the asking price.

On the other hand, homes that enter the market overpriced or without proper preparation are often sitting much longer and, in many cases, ultimately selling for less than they likely would have if they had been positioned correctly from day one.

As the market becomes more competitive, choosing the right real estate team matters more than ever.

Robin Martin & Associates – 2026 Highlights

Despite a more challenging housing market, we’re proud to announce that Robin Martin & Associates has surpassed $43 million in sales across 48 transactions, including closed, pending, and under-contract properties. We continue to be the #1 Real Estate Team in Roswell based on homes sold and a top North Atlanta and Alpharetta team. 

Some of our recent accomplishments include:

• Studdiford (Roswell): Achieved another all-time neighborhood record sales price, closed two homes this year, and our newest listing is already pending.
• Nesbit Lakes: Successfully closed three transactions, with another listing coming soon.
• Country Club of Roswell / Willow Springs: Sold four homes, including the highest sale in the community this year, with one home pending and three active listings.
• Chartwell: Represented the two highest sales in the neighborhood this year, both located on Guildhall Grove.

• Sentinel on the River: Our newest listing is scheduled to close as the highest sale recorded in the community this year.

While we’re proud of these accomplishments, we continually remind our team that success isn’t measured simply by the number of homes we sell.

Success is measured by the results we deliver for our clients—the countless hours spent preparing homes for the market, coordinating every detail, negotiating contracts late into the evenings and weekends, and helping families navigate one of the largest financial decisions they’ll ever make.

That commitment to excellence is what continues to set Robin Martin & Associates apart.
