What this means for you

A real take on the July 2026 Athens numbers.

For buyers

The seller's market is still here, but it's not moving quite as fast as it was a month ago. Days on market climbed to 30, up 20 percent from June, which means you'll have a little more breathing room to think through an offer. The sold-to-list ratio held at 98.1 percent, so you're still competing, but homes aren't flying off the shelf the same way they were earlier in the summer. Months of inventory rose to 4.0, a 25.6 percent jump year over year. That's the biggest shift in the data. It's still a seller's market by definition, but the gap is closing. If you've been waiting for conditions to ease, this is the direction you want to see. Median sold price came in at $369,900, up nearly nine percent from June, so budget accordingly.

For sellers

July brought a median sold price of $369,900, up 8.9 percent from June. Homes are still selling close to list, at 98.1 percent, and the market remains in your favor. Days on market increased to 30, a 20 percent jump from the prior month. Buyers are taking a bit longer to commit, which is normal for summer but worth watching if you're planning to list soon. Inventory is building. Months of supply hit 4.0, up 25.6 percent compared to last July. Pending listings dropped 22.7 percent month over month, which suggests some of the urgency has cooled. You're still in a seller's market, but the window where you can name your terms is narrowing. If you've been thinking about selling, list now while conditions are still strong.
