Alpharetta  Market Report – March 2023

Dear Neighbor,

Eventually, the extra work to maintain a larger home doesn’t make sense anymore. A smaller home could be more manageable and allow you to use that earned equity to pursue your personal goals. When you’re ready to sell, you want to make sure you’re doing everything to maximize the return on your lifelong investment.

For most of us, our homes are the largest asset we’ll ever own—so you’re correct in wanting to fully understand how to maximize your ROI. If you are thinking about selling/downsizing, you deserve the insight and guidance from an expert in your local market. 

Here are the top things to know about the Alpharetta real estate market right now:

Days on Market are Increasing

As sales slow, time on market is increasing, with the average home spending 19 days in February vs. 6 days on market in February last year, though there is still a consistent high demand. Compared to February 2022, the sale-to-list percentage (how close the actual sale price was to the original list price) dropped by 5%. To capitalize on your investment, you want to work with a real estate expert who understands how to strategically price and market your home, so you get maximum return.

Median Sale Price is in a Decline Making Your Listing Strategy Even More Important

Seller concessions have made a comeback, giving buyers more time and negotiating power when shopping for a home. However, when correctly priced and positioned well on the market, homes are selling at or above list price. That being said, the median sale price has increased by 6.9% year-over-year in February. These stats really add up when you are selling your largest financial asset—and that’s exactly why you deserve a strategic marketing plan.

Looking Ahead 

Here’s what we’ll be watching over the coming months:

1. Low Supply of Available Homes 

Alpharetta had a 47.6% increase in available homes in February compared to last year, and there’s no telling when it will slow down. With demand still high and the median sale price steadily increasing—up 6.9% in February compared to February 2022—sellers who work with an expert to properly position themselves on the market can generally expect to secure a nice return.

2. Buyers Are Eagerly Searching

Buyers are eager to scoop up the available inventory. The days on market in February was only 19 days, a 216% increase from February 2022. With inventory as low as it is, it’s a great time to sell. Regardless of what twists and turns the market takes, to truly maximize your return on investment, it’s crucial that you strategically position your home to buyers.

3. Continued Growth In Alpharetta

As Alpharetta develops, we’ll continue to see property values increase. Here are just a few things to note:

• Alpharetta was ranked #12 in Georgia’s most popular cities.
• Alpharetta is known far and wide as the Technology City of the South due to the large number of tech-focused companies that call Alpharetta home.
• Alpharetta has been voted Niche’s 2021 Best Place to Raise a Family in Georgia. It offers some of the best schools in Georgia, boasting a mix of public and private schools along with award-winning daycare centers.

4. What to Expect When Selling Your Home

The market consistently evolves–and you deserve to sell for the highest possible price no matter what. The right marketing strategy, pricing knowledge, and negotiation power are what make the difference when you’re ready to sell your home and embark on what may be one of the largest financial transactions of your lifetime.
