February data has shown us some positive signs beyond the expected seasonal month-over-month improvement. We are encouraged to see that property values continue to rise modestly and that, overall, we still have a healthy market.

However, there are also signs of market softening, including:

• An increase in Failed Listings to 38%, up 10% from last year.
• An increase in Price reductions by 9%.
• A decline in the sold-vs-original list price ratio to 96.5%, compared to 97.5% last year.

Compared to a more typical market (2019), sales activity remains low, continuing a trend we’ve seen. Currently, active listings in the Metro Atlanta market stand at 9,713, compared to 12,635 in 2019. Similarly, homes sold in February totaled 2,485, significantly lower than 7,986 in February 2019—another indicator of reduced market activity.

That said, we wouldn’t be surprised to see activity pick up this year if interest rates continue to trend down and other economic factors shift in a positive direction.
