NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS + MARKET UPDATES
The Oakhurst real estate market is on fire and has been since 2012. Buyers are coming in droves trying to find a single-family bungalow or starter home. It is possible (but often a challenge) to find a smaller, semi-renovated 2 or 3 bedroom home in the low $500s. If you are interested in a new construction 3 or 4 bedroom Craftsman home, be prepared to spend over $1.2M.
The average home sales price in Oakhurst is in the high $600s to mid $700s.
Thanks to the active Oakhurst neighborhood association, walkability, historic charm, parks, and the highly-rated Oakhurst Elementary School, the demand for homes in Oakhurst Atlanta real estate continues to be very strong.
