Buyers in Sandy Springs had more choice in October 2026, with 65 new single family listings and 73 new condo listings. Single family homes still moved in a median of 18 days, and condos in 20 days, so timelines remained short for homes that drew interest (FMLS, October 2026).
Single Family Buyers
The October list to sold price ratio of 96.7% compared with 98.7% year to date. That gap hints at somewhat more room between list and sold prices in the month, though it is one month of data. A larger set of new listings makes side by side comparison easier, for buyers focused on areas near Roswell Road, close to the Chattahoochee River and Morgan Falls Overlook Park, or nearer Perimeter Center.
Condo Buyers
Condo buyers saw median sold prices below those of a year earlier and a median of 20 days on market. With 73 new listings in the month, there were many units to compare across buildings. Some buyers prefer being near the MARTA Sandy Springs station or City Springs. The neighborhoods page can help you compare areas before you tour.

Sandy Springs single family sellers saw strong closing activity and higher median prices in October 2026, with 31 sales and a median sold price of $1,225,000.

Homes priced near recent comparable closings are the ones most likely to match those figures. A market analysis from a local agent, built on the specific street, size and condition of the home, is more precise than any citywide average.

Reading the Sandy Springs Trend: What the Data Suggests
The October 2026 figures show a Sandy Springs market with sharply higher supply and sales, higher single family prices and lower condo prices. This is a reading of recent data, not a forecast. Following the same measures month to month is the most reliable way to see if these patterns continue (FMLS, October 2026).
Signals to Watch
- New listings and sales together: single family new listings rose 261.11% and sold listings rose 93.75%. Supply grew faster than sales, which can add to available inventory.
- Price mix: the single family average sold price rose 36.39% in October, compared with 14.18% year to date.
- Condo pricing: the median sold price is down 35.69% in October and down 11.11% year to date.
Limits of the Data
A single month with 31 single family sales and 22 condo sales can shift with a handful of closings. The year to date figures smooth that out, and the numbers describe all of Sandy Springs rather than a single neighborhood or building.
