What this means for you

A real take on the August 2026 Alpharetta numbers.

For buyers

Inventory sits at 4.4 months of supply, which is still a seller's market but edging closer to balance. That's up 4.0% from last August, so you're seeing a little more selection than a year ago. Homes spent a median of 28 days on market in August, about a week longer than July, and the sold-to-list price ratio dropped to 97.3%. Those two shifts mean you have a bit more room to negotiate than you did earlier this summer. The median sold price in August was $913,500, up just 0.4% from July. Prices are still climbing, but the pace has slowed. If you've been watching from the sidelines, this is the most buyer-friendly conditions Alpharetta has seen in a while. You won't get a flood of inventory overnight, but the pressure has eased enough to make offers without waiving every contingency.

For sellers

The median sold price in Alpharetta hit $913,500 in August, a 0.4% increase from July, and the median estimated home value rose 4.2% month over month to $861,220. Homes are still selling, and the market is still classified as a seller's market with 4.4 months of supply. Demand remains strong enough that your home will likely move within a month if priced correctly. August brought two signs of cooling. Days on market rose to 28, up 7.7% from July, and the sold-to-list ratio fell to 97.3%, down 1.1 percentage points. Buyers are taking a bit more time, and fewer are offering over asking. You'll still get solid activity if your home is in good condition and priced in line with recent comps, but the instant bidding wars have faded. Price it right from the start and expect a close near asking.
