A Word from 2019 Atlanta REALTORS® President DeAnn Golden: “The Atlanta Market closed out the year in a stronger position of available homes than it did in 2017, due at least in part to the growth in local listings in the last quarter. Average home prices continue to add value with a 7.5% increase over the year before, continuing a trend of steady, positive monthly growth that has lasted over 6 years.”
