How did Sandy Springs single family prices change?
Single family pricing in May 2026 came in below the prior year. The median sold price of $852,500 was 11.23 percent lower than the $960,350 recorded in May 2025, and the average sold price of $1,005,500 was down 14.96 percent from $1,182,350 (FMLS, May 2026). With only 16 sales in the month, these figures can shift based on the specific mix of homes that closed, so a single month is best read alongside the year-to-date picture.
The list to sold price ratio of 101.4 percent indicates that, on average, single family homes sold slightly above their final list prices in May 2026 (FMLS, May 2026). That figure edged up from 100.7 percent a year earlier, a sign of continued competition for the homes that did trade hands.
How fast were single family homes selling?
Speed of sale remained brisk in May 2026. Single family homes sold in a median of 6 days, just above the 5 days recorded in May 2025, while the average days on market rose to 16 from 11 a year earlier (FMLS, May 2026). The gap between the median and the average reflects a small number of listings that took longer to sell and pulled the average upward.
For buyers, the short median timeline points to the value of being prepared to act on well-priced homes. For sellers, accurate pricing and strong presentation continue to support quick sales in this segment.
What did the Sandy Springs condo market show?
The condo segment moved in the opposite direction from single family on price. In May 2026, 18 condos sold, up from 16 in May 2025, at a median sold price of $354,950 and an average sold price of $392,438 (FMLS, May 2026). Both figures were well above their year-earlier levels, with the median up 24.54 percent and the average up 24.51 percent.
Condos also sold faster, with a median of 23 days on market compared with 41 days a year earlier, while the list to sold price ratio improved to 98.5 percent from 96.3 percent (FMLS, May 2026). As with single family, condo volume is modest, so the mix of units sold each month influences these averages.
What happened with new listings and inventory?
New single family listings rose to 45 in May 2026, up 15.38 percent from 39 in May 2025, while new condo listings fell to 29 from 36 (FMLS, May 2026). More single family listings entering the market can give buyers additional choices, while the lighter flow of new condo listings paired with higher condo sales kept that segment active.
Because monthly counts in Sandy Springs are small, listing and sales figures can vary noticeably month to month. Watching these numbers over several months gives a clearer read than any single report.
How does year-to-date 2026 compare with 2025?
Year to date through May 2026, single family activity in Sandy Springs ran ahead of last year on both volume and price. A total of 70 single family homes sold, up 9.38 percent from 64 a year earlier, while the median sold price rose 11.01 percent to $973,000 and the average sold price increased 5.18 percent to $1,367,529 (FMLS, May 2026). Year-to-date single family homes sold in a median of 10 days.
For condos, 60 units sold year to date, down from 65 in 2025, with a year-to-date median sold price of $282,000 (FMLS, May 2026). The year-to-date figures show single family prices trending higher across 2026 even as the single month of May came in below the prior May.
What does this mean for buyers and sellers?
For buyers, May 2026 offered a single family market with more new listings and quick sale timelines, which rewards preparation and prompt decisions on the right home. Condo buyers saw rising prices but faster-moving inventory than a year earlier. Reviewing recent comparable sales remains the most reliable way to gauge a fair offer in either segment.
For sellers, single family homes continued to sell at or above list price in a matter of days, while condos saw renewed demand and stronger pricing year over year. Pricing in line with current comparable sales and preparing a home to show well remain the most dependable ways to attract strong offers.
