How Did Brookhaven Single-Family Homes Perform in August 2026?
Single-family homes held firm on price. The median sold price rose 13.53 percent to $1,032,000, and the average sold price reached $1,340,412, up 25.94 percent (FMLS, August 2026). Closed sales dropped to 16 from 28, and median days on market lengthened to 21 from 16, yet sellers still received 99.4 percent of list price.
Pricing and Negotiation
The list to sale ratio improved from 97.3 percent a year earlier, a sign that well-priced homes sold close to asking. Average days on market fell 42.5 percent to 23 days, which suggests fewer long-marketed outliers among August 2026 closings.
Year-to-Date Context
- New listings: 282, down 27.69 percent
- Median sold price: $980,000, up 4.26 percent
With only 16 closings in August, a handful of higher-priced sales can move the monthly median noticeably, so the year-to-date gain offers a steadier read on pricing.
How Did Brookhaven Condos Perform in August 2026?
Brookhaven condos softened in August 2026. The median sold price fell 12.38 percent to $445,750, closed sales dropped 70 percent to six, and new listings declined 44 percent to 14 (FMLS, August 2026). Year to date, however, the median condo sold price stands at $660,000, up 30.69 percent, so the monthly dip rests on a very small sample.
Pace on a Small Sample
Median days on market improved to 34 from 51, while average days on market rose to 99 from 80. That gap points to a mix of quicker sales and a few units that sat for an extended period. The list to sale ratio slipped to 98.3 percent from 98.9 percent.
Condo Year-to-Date Context
- Sold listings: 73, down 26.26 percent
- Median days on market: 40, up from 35

Months Supply: Two Different Balances
Single-family supply of about 3.3 months typically leans toward sellers. Condo supply of about 11 months, well above 2024 and 2025 readings that mostly held under 5 months, typically leans toward buyers.
What Does the August 2026 Brookhaven Market Mean for Buyers?
Buyers face two distinct environments. Single-family buyers are competing in a tight segment where homes sold at 99.4 percent of list price, so preparation matters. Condo buyers have far more choice, with about 11 months of supply and a 98.3 percent list to sale ratio, which gives room to compare buildings and negotiate terms (FMLS, August 2026).
Single-Family Buyers
- Expect limited selection among Brookhaven homes for sale, with just 25 new listings in August 2026.
- Be ready to act quickly in the $750K to $999K band.
- Expect more time to evaluate in the $1.5M and above band.
Condo Buyers
- Compare options across a broad range of price bands.
- Note how long a unit has been listed, since average days on market reached 99.
Location and Access
Brookhaven sits between Buckhead and Chamblee, with access to I-85, I-285 and nearby GA 400. The Brookhaven/Oglethorpe MARTA station and the Oglethorpe University campus sit along the Peachtree Road corridor, and Buford Highway runs through the southeast. Single-family areas include Historic Brookhaven, Ashford Park, Drew Valley and Lynwood Park, and local landmarks include Dresden Drive, Murphey Candler Park and Blackburn Park. The Brookhaven neighborhood guide offers more detail.
What Does the August 2026 Brookhaven Market Mean for Sellers?
Single-family sellers remain in a strong position, with a median sold price of $1,032,000 and a 99.4 percent list to sale ratio. Condo sellers face more competition from about 11 months of supply, so pricing and presentation carry more weight. In both segments, fewer new listings in August 2026 means less fresh competition entering the market (FMLS, August 2026).
Single-Family Sellers
Median days on market reached 21, slower than 16 in August 2025, so buyers are taking slightly more time. Pricing in line with recent sales in the relevant band can help a listing avoid the longer timelines seen at $1.5M and above.
Condo Sellers
- Price against active competition, not only past sales.
- Prepare for a longer runway, since year-to-date median days on market rose to 40.
- Highlight relevant location details, such as proximity to Town Brookhaven.
Brookhaven Market Outlook: What the Trends Suggest
The data suggests two segments moving in different directions. Single-family conditions remain tight, with limited supply and near-asking sales, while the condo segment shows elevated months of supply and a slower pace. These readings describe current conditions rather than future outcomes, and monthly figures based on few sales can shift quickly (FMLS, August 2026).
Signals to Watch
- Single-family new listings, down 27.69 percent year to date
- Condo months of supply, currently about 11
- Condo median sold price, down for the month but up year to date

Key Takeaways From the Brookhaven Market in August 2026
Brookhaven's August 2026 data shows a tight single-family segment and a condo segment with ample supply. Single-family homes sold near asking at a $1,032,000 median, while condo buyers had more choice and more room to negotiate, with about 11 months of supply (FMLS, August 2026).
Fewer new listings in both segments point to limited fresh supply, and year-to-date figures remain the steadier guide given the small number of monthly sales. For guidance on a specific Brookhaven property or price band, connect with an agent at The Agency Atlanta.
