Sandy Springs delivered some of the strongest single-family price growth in metro Atlanta this March, with the median sold price jumping over 13% year over year. At the same time, the condo market flipped in the opposite direction, with median prices dropping nearly 49%. This Sandy Springs housing market update breaks down both the single-family and condo numbers so you can see exactly where the opportunities are.
Sandy Springs Single-Family Snapshot: March 2026
Here are the key numbers from the March 2026 Sandy Springs single-family market report compared to March 2025.
Single-Family Year-to-Date: January Through March 2026
The year-to-date data makes the single-family picture even clearer.
The year-to-date median sold price for single-family homes in Sandy Springs is $1,155,000, up a staggering 38.74% from $832,500 last year. That is an extraordinary jump. A big part of this is the mix of homes that have closed so far in 2026, which skews toward higher-priced properties. Fewer homes have sold (23 vs. 32), but the ones that did close went for significantly more money. New listings are up 17.57%, so more inventory is entering the market, which could help moderate this pace as spring continues.
Sandy Springs Condo Snapshot: March 2026
The condo market in Sandy Springs tells a completely different story. Here are the March 2026 numbers.
Condo Year-to-Date: January Through March 2026
The first three months of 2026 reinforce the condo trends.
Year to date, the condo median sold price is $279,000, down 14.35% from $325,750 last year. Sold listings dropped 30.56%, from 36 to just 25. New listings are also down 17.78%. But here is the important part: the condos that are selling are moving fast (22 days median) and at 99.2% of asking. The price drop is largely driven by the types of condos that are trading, not distressed fire sales. More affordable units are making up a bigger share of closings, pulling the median and average down.
Side-by-Side: Single-Family vs. Condo in Sandy Springs March 2026
This table shows how the two property types compare in the same market.
Both property types are selling at nearly the same speed, about 16 to 17 median days on market. The big difference is price direction. Single-family homes are appreciating aggressively while condos are trading at much lower price points than a year ago. Both segments show list-to-sale ratios near or above 100%, which means sellers are getting what they are asking for regardless of property type.
What This Means for Sandy Springs Sellers
Your strategy depends on what type of property you own.
Single-family sellers are in an exceptional position right now:
-
The median sold price of $1,063,500 is up 13.08% year over year. That is one of the strongest gains in metro Atlanta this March.
-
The list-to-sale price ratio is 100.3%, meaning homes are selling at or above asking. Some sellers are getting bidding activity.
-
Median days on market dropped from 52 to just 16. That is a dramatic speed increase. Well-priced homes are going under contract in about two weeks.
-
New listings jumped 37.04%. More competition is coming to market, so pricing correctly from day one is critical to capturing the strongest offers before more options appear.
Condo sellers face a different situation:
-
The median sold price dropped to $262,500 from $510,000 last March. The year-to-date median is $279,000, down 14.35%.
-
However, condos are selling faster (17 days median vs. 36 last year) and at 99.4% of asking. If you price to the current market, you will sell quickly.
-
The key is realistic pricing. Do not base your expectations on what condos sold for in 2025. Pull comps from the past 60 to 90 days and price accordingly.

What This Means for Sandy Springs Buyers
Sandy Springs offers two very different buying experiences right now.
Buying a single-family home:
-
Expect to pay a premium. The median sold price is over $1 million and rising. At 100.3% list-to-sale ratio, you may need to offer at or above asking to win.
-
Homes are going fast at 16 days median on market. Get pre-approved and be ready to tour and write offers within days of a listing going live.
-
New listings are up 37.04% compared to last March. That means more options are entering the market, which could create windows of opportunity if a few homes hit at the same time.
Buying a condo:
-
This is one of the best condo buying environments in Sandy Springs in years. The median price is $262,500, less than half of what it was last March.
-
Condos are still selling quickly (17 days) and near asking (99.4%). Good deals move fast even at lower prices.
-
New condo listings are down 25%. Fewer options are available, so when a condo fits your needs, act quickly.

What Investors Should Know
Sandy Springs offers two distinct investment strategies in 2026.
Single-family appreciation play:
-
The median sold price surged 13.08% in March and 38.74% year to date. For investors who already own single-family homes here, equity is growing fast.
-
With only 11 closed sales in March and 23 year to date, this is a low-volume, high-value market. Flipping requires bigger capital, but the returns on correctly positioned properties are strong.
-
The 100.3% list-to-sale ratio means you can sell at or above asking when you are ready to exit.
Condo entry point:
-
A median price of $262,500 is a significantly lower barrier to entry than single-family. If rental demand holds in Sandy Springs, these price points could produce solid cash flow.
-
Condos are selling fast (17 days median) so the market is liquid. But the 48.53% price decline needs context. Make sure you are comparing current rents to current purchase prices, not last year's numbers.
-
Year-to-date condo sales are down 30.56%. Lower volume means less data to work with. Do your homework on specific complexes before committing.

Condo prices went the opposite direction, with the median dropping to $262,500 from $510,000, a 48.53% decline. The single-family market is strong. The condo market is offering lower price points but is not in distress, as condos are still selling fast and near asking.
Q: How fast are homes selling in Sandy Springs?
A: Very fast across both property types. Single-family homes had a median days on market of 16 in March, down from 52 last year. Condos had a median of 17 days, down from 36. Whether you are buying a house or a condo, expect to make decisions quickly when you find the right property.
Q: Why did condo prices drop so much in Sandy Springs?
A: The 48.53% decline in median condo sold price is largely driven by the mix of what sold. In March 2025, higher-priced condos made up more of the closings. In March 2026, more affordable units dominated the sales. The list-to-sale price ratio of 99.4% tells you that condos are not being heavily discounted. Buyers are paying near asking. The overall median dropped because the typical condo that closed was a lower-priced unit, not because individual condo values crashed by half.
Q: Are homes in Sandy Springs selling above asking price?
A: For single-family homes, yes. The list-to-sale price ratio in March 2026 was 100.3%, meaning the average home sold slightly above its list price. For condos, the ratio is 99.4%, which is very close to asking. Both numbers tell you that sellers in Sandy Springs are landing near or above their target when priced correctly.
Q: How much do I need to buy a single-family home in Sandy Springs?
A: The March 2026 median sold price for a single-family home is $1,063,500, and the year-to-date median is $1,155,000. The average sold price is even higher at $1,342,045 for March.

A: The data supports it. The median condo price is $262,500, down from $510,000 last year. Condos are selling in about 17 days and at 99.4% of asking. If you find a condo that fits your needs in a well-maintained complex, the entry price is significantly lower than it has been.

A: For single-family, yes. New listings jumped 37.04% in March, from 27 to 37. Year to date, single-family new listings are up 17.57%. For condos, the opposite is happening. New condo listings dropped 25% in March and 17.78% year to date. More single-family inventory is entering the market while condo options are tightening.
