"Is anybody even buying houses right now?" I hear it every week. So let’s look at Clayton County in black and white.

From Aug 28 – Sep 28, 2026, 156 single-family homes sold in Clayton.

Here’s how it broke down:
$100K–$199K: 55
$200K–$299K: 72
$300K–$399K: 29
No sales closed at $400K or above. The average sold price was $233,046.

That’s not a frozen market — that’s real people closing on real homes at a range of price points. If you’ve been waiting for "the right time" and want to see what this looks like for your neighborhood specifically, just send me a message. No pressure, just perspective.

"Maybe we'll just wait until spring." 🍂

I hear this a lot this time of year — and I get it. But if you'd love to be in a new home before the holidays, it's still very doable. The key is starting in October, not December.

Here's the quick math:
✔️ Most financed purchases take about 30–45 days from contract to closing
✔️ Thanksgiving is November 26th, and Christmas falls on a Friday this year
✔️ So you'll want to be under contract by early-to-mid November

My new video walks through the realistic timeline, four things to do this week to stay on track, and why fall can be a smart time for sellers too.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and in real estate there’s one scam I want every buyer to know about: wire fraud.

Scammers send emails that look exactly like they’re from your agent, lender, or closing attorney — with "updated" wiring instructions. Once the money is wired, it’s often gone for good.

My simple rule: before you ever wire closing funds, pick up the phone and call your closing attorney’s office at a number you already know is real — not one from the email. Wiring instructions rarely change at the last minute. If they "suddenly" do, stop and verify.

Share this with anyone buying a home this year. It could save them their down payment.

Question: “Guess how many DeKalb homes sold under $400K last month?”
Options: “A few” / “A LOT.”

It’s Fire Prevention Week 🔥🚒 Three quick checks for this week: test every smoke alarm, make sure everyone at home knows two ways out of each room, and pick a meeting spot outside.

Ten minutes now is worth it. Save this and do it this weekend.

Is anybody actually buying homes in metro Atlanta right now?

It's the question I hear the most, and the honest answer depends on your county and your price range. So this October I'm pulling the closed home sales for each South Metro Atlanta county and breaking them down by price range.

Henry County home sales: posted at the end of September (see my page).
Week 1: DeKalb County home sales
Week 2: Clayton County home sales
Week 3: Rockdale County home sales
End of October: all four counties compared side by side

No spin, just numbers. Follow my page so you don't miss your county. Thinking about buying or selling in DeKalb, Clayton, Rockdale or Henry County? Message me or call 404.692.3577.
