Marietta, GA Housing Market Report

The Marietta housing market is currently undergoing a notable transition toward more balanced conditions, trending slightly in favor of buyers as we conclude 2025. With active inventory surging by 10.71% year-over-year to 27,717 units and properties spending an average of 90 days on the market—a 16-day increase from last year—the sense of urgency that previously defined the Atlanta metro area has cooled. The sale-to-list ratio of 0.99 suggests that while sellers are still achieving near-asking prices, they no longer command the significant premiums or bidding wars seen in previous cycles.

Price trends in Marietta have shown a consistent, albeit gradual, softening over the last six months. Since July 2025, the median home value has declined from $467,666 to the current $465,663, representing a 1.49% year-over-year decrease. This marginal correction is likely driven by the increased inventory levels and higher borrowing costs, which have forced sellers to be more realistic with their pricing strategies. Conversely, the rental market remains resilient with a 2.39% annual increase, indicating that demand for housing in the area remains high even as the path to homeownership becomes more deliberate.

Looking ahead, the Marietta market offers a window of opportunity for patient buyers who can benefit from increased selection and more leverage during negotiations. Sellers should prepare for longer holding periods and ensure their properties are priced competitively from the start to avoid stagnating on the market. As part of the broader Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Alpharetta metro area, Marietta continues to be a desirable hub, but the current data suggests a period of price stabilization rather than rapid appreciation for the foreseeable future.
