Oakhurst Real Estate Market Trends & Home Values
April – June 2019 || Decatur, GA 30030
It’s time again for the Oakhurst real estate market update! The Spring 2019 selling season was busier than usual, but homes were taking quite a bit longer to sell and buyers were able to negotiate more than they have in years. Take a peek below at the latest home sales stats and if you have any questions about the numbers or the best time to buy or list a home, we’re always here to help! Call anytime at 404-432-1844.
2Q 2019 Overview of the Oakhurst Real Estate Market
HOME SALES
A total of 19 single-family homes sold in Oakhurst in the 2nd quarter of 2019. This is up slightly from the previous year, when 16 homes sold.
HOME PRICES
The average home sales price was down 3.7% this quarter – $669,500 compared to $695,038 last year. Because only a small number of homes sell each quarter in Oakhurst, the average sales price can fluctuate up or down fairly quickly. If you are thinking of selling your home in the next year, please check back next quarter to see how the market is doing. We want to make sure you list your home at the perfect time to ensure you get top dollar.

HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO SELL A HOME IN 2018?
Oakhurst real estate listings took 41 days to sell (median). That’s FIVE TIMES LONGER than the same time last year when homes sold in 8 days. We expect this trend to continue, as there are fewer buyers for the higher price point homes.
15% of the homes sold in the FIRST WEEK and all sold at or over the asking price. If you want top dollar and to see quickly, we highly recommend that your home is “showroom ready” and that you price at or slightly below the fair market value.
ARE BUYERS STILL PAYING TOP DOLLAR?
Yes and no. In the Spring of 2018, Oakhurst homes were selling at 99.8% of the asking price (almost full price!) on average. This year buyers were in a better position to negotiate and on average, homes sold at 96.5% of the asking price.
Interesting note: The homes that sold for full price (or higher) also sold in the first week!
