Price: Average and median sales prices continue to gain traction and outpace 2014’s figures, with positive gains. The median sales price in February was $211,000, an increase of 17.2% from last February. The average sales price was $266,000, up 12.7% from the previous year.

A Word from ABR President Ennis Antoine: “February was another month of concrete price growth for Atlanta. I believe the statistics are suggesting that the housing market is on a solid foundation and ready to progress in a stable fashion. As we move into the spring season, sales continue to show strong improvement month over month. The increase in inventory is due to several factors: seller confidence, low interest rates and higher demand.”
