Is It a Buyer’s or Seller’s Market Right Now? Here's What You Need to Know
June 2025 | WG | Atlanta Real Estate Insights

If you’ve been keeping an eye on the housing market, you may be wondering: Is it a buyer’s market or a seller’s market right now? The answer? It depends on where you are, what you're looking for, and how quickly you’re ready to move.

Let’s Break It Down:

A seller’s market happens when there are more buyers than available homes. That leads to faster sales, multiple offers, and sellers often getting top dollar. A buyer’s market is the opposite—when inventory outpaces demand, giving buyers more choices and negotiation power.

Right now, nationally, we're seeing a mix of both. Some markets are cooling slightly from the post-pandemic frenzy, while others—like parts of metro Atlanta—are still seeing competitive activity.

What About Atlanta?

Here in Atlanta, inventory remains tight in many neighborhoods, especially in desirable school districts and close-in suburbs like Brookhaven, Morningside, and Virginia Highland. That keeps things leaning in favor of sellers. But rising interest rates and price sensitivity mean buyers are becoming more selective and strategic.

We’re also seeing more price reductions and longer days on market in certain segments—especially with luxury homes that aren’t move-in ready or listings priced aggressively. That means buyers can win, especially with a savvy agent by their side.

How to Win in Any Market

  • If you're a seller: Preparation and pricing are everything. You’ll get the best results with strategic staging, professional marketing, and expert guidance.

  • If you're a buyer: Be ready. Get pre-approved, define your must-haves vs. nice-to-haves, and act quickly when the right home hits the market.

  • If you're unsure: The best move is to talk to someone who knows your local market inside and out. (Hi, that’s us.)

The Bottom Line

The market isn't one-size-fits-all—and whether you're buying or selling, there’s opportunity in every cycle. At WG, we help our clients make smart moves by staying one step ahead of shifting trends.
