2025 Marietta Housing Report: Why Sellers Keep Winning

Marietta’s May update brings good news for sellers. The local real estate market is still heavily favoring sellers. However, the latest numbers from May 2025 show that homeowners are still unsure whether now is the best time to enter the market.

Let’s start with this: The number of homes available for sale is rising, but not quickly enough to meet buyer demand. We’re still looking at a market where sellers have the upper hand.

In fact, 5 out of 10 homes sold in Marietta this year, the sellers received their asking price or more. One in two sellers got full price, or even more.

Meanwhile, the median home price in Marietta has climbed to nearly $640,000. That’s a dramatic increase compared to the pre-COVID median of $360,000. If you bought a few years ago, chances are your home has grown substantially in value.

Does this mean now is the best time to sell your home? This is where many homeowners feel stuck because they’re sitting on mortgage rates below 4%. Some even refinanced at 2%–3%. The idea of trading that for today’s higher interest rates can feel like taking a step backward, even if your home has appreciated in value.

That hesitation has kept inventory tight. Ironically, that’s exactly what keeps this a seller’s market. With fewer homes for buyers to choose from, good listings are still sparking competition.

Whether you’re actively thinking about selling or just curious what your home might be worth in this market, now’s the time to explore your options. Even if you’re unsure about moving, getting a professional price estimate can help you make sense of your next move.
