East Cobb Market Report August 2021

Posted by Lee Ann Wynns on

Here is another look at the number active listings of East Cobb single family homes by month and year. Think of active listings as a flow. New listings are coming into the system and closed sales are flowing out. The data is captured at the end of each month. However, the most recent month I show here can look a little different next month as it takes about 10 – 15 working days for all the closed sales to be reported. This gives an apples to apples comparison for inventory over time.

2021 is still a strong seller’s market with the lowest inventory levels in the past 5 years.
