The July numbers are in, and there’s an interesting story behind them.

Here’s the simple version: home prices are holding strong in much of our area, but homes are generally taking longer to sell.

Compared with July of last year:

🏡 Roswell: Median sold price is $715,000, up 2.14%
🏡 Alpharetta: $830,000, up 9.93%
🏡 Milton: $1,342,500, up 14.26%
🏡 Johns Creek: $710,000, up 2.53%
🏡 East Cobb: $596,750, down 2.37%

But price is only part of the story.

Homes are taking longer to sell in every area shown here. And another important piece of the puzzle is the number of homes coming on the market.

In several of these areas, we saw more new listings compared with last July. More homes for sale means buyers have more choices, which gives them more opportunity to compare homes and be selective.

So what does all of this actually mean?

For sellers: Buyers are still buying, but pricing your home correctly and making sure it shows well from the beginning matter more than ever. When buyers have more choices, your home needs to stand out.

For buyers: You may have a little more breathing room than we’ve seen in recent years. More choices and longer days on market can mean more time to consider your options instead of feeling like you have to make an immediate decision.

And Milton is definitely worth watching. The median sold price jumped more than 14%, while the number of homes sold increased more than 25% compared with last July.

Bottom line: There really isn’t one single “real estate market.” Roswell, Alpharetta, Milton, Johns Creek and East Cobb are each behaving a little differently, which is exactly why understanding your local market matters.

If you’d like to talk more about what these numbers mean for you, send me a DM. And if you don’t see your local market here, send me a DM and I’d be happy to send you the numbers for your area.

✨ SOLD ✨

One of the things I love most about real estate is that not every relationship follows a straight line.

Sometimes you meet someone at an open house, have a great conversation, and then life takes a different path. The timing isn't right, priorities change, and plans get put on hold.

That's exactly what happened here.

A couple of years ago, I met this wonderful client at one of my open houses. She was thinking about moving to be closer to her family, but decided it wasn't the right time.

Then, two years later, she walked into another one of my open houses.

She recognized my name on the sign and said she was hoping it was me.

This time, the timing was right.

Helping her sell her home and move on to the next chapter has been such a rewarding experience. It's a reminder that buying or selling a home isn't always about timing the market. Sometimes it's simply about waiting until the timing is right for you.

Congratulations! Thank you for trusting me to help you through this next chapter. Wishing you nothing but happiness in your new home, closer to the people you love.

This story will stay with me. ❤️

Two years ago, I met my client at an open house. She was looking for a primary on main in a specific area so she could be closer to her family and grandchildren, but the home I was hosting was not the right fit. Before she left, she shared her contact information and asked me to reach out if I ever found the right home for her.

A few months later, I did. But during our conversation, she shared she had decided not to move after all. She had renovated her kitchen, fallen back in love with her home, and the drive to see her grandkids felt manageable.

Then two years later, something unexpected happened.

I was hosting another open house when she walked in. We immediately recognized each other. As we talked, she told me she saw my name on the sign and knew she wanted to reconnect.

This time, she was ready. She wanted to be closer to her family and knew exactly where she needed to be in the Heartwood neighborhood in East Cobb. The challenge was there was nothing available on the market.

So I got proactive and reached out to homeowners in the neighborhood to see if anyone had considered selling.

One homeowner called me.

We scheduled a showing, and the moment she walked into the home, she knew. Yesterday, she closed on her new home. 🏡

Working with her has been incredibly meaningful. Our connection felt natural from the start, and the fact that our paths crossed again two years later made this even more special.

This is what I love most about real estate. It is about timing, relationships, and helping people get closer to the life they love most.

Part 3 and we did it 🏡

My buyer officially closed today on a home in the Heartwood neighborhood of East Cobb!

She had a very specific goal of being in this neighborhood so she could be closer to her family and grandchildren. The challenge was that there was nothing available on the market.

Through a proactive approach and local outreach, we were able to connect with a homeowner considering selling off market. That conversation led to a showing, a perfect match, and now a successful closing.

This is a reminder that even in low inventory markets, the right home is still possible when strategy and timing come together. So happy for my client and this next chapter for her. ❤️

Part 2 of the story and the letters worked. 🏡

After reaching out to homeowners in the Heartwood neighborhood of East Cobb, I was contacted by a homeowner considering selling off market. We scheduled a showing, and my buyer immediately fell in love with the home.

We are now officially under contract on an off market home at 185 Ashleigh Terrace in Marietta, GA 30062 and I could not be more excited for her. The best part is that she will now be much closer to her family and grandkids. ❤️

This is a great example of how the right strategy and local insight can open doors to opportunities that are not publicly listed. I help my clients identify and secure these types of homes by staying closely connected in the market and proactively creating opportunities rather than waiting for them to appear.

If you are thinking about buying or selling in East Cobb, Marietta, or the surrounding areas, there are still opportunities like this happening every day. You just need the right strategy to uncover them.
