About The Atlanta Home Sales Report
The Atlanta Home Sales Report data was compiled from sales deeds filed at county courthouses and was obtained from SmartNumbers. Condominium and townhome sales are included, but mortgage assumptions, refinances, foreclosures, HUD sales and lot sales are not. The data was provided by SmartNumbers, a firm that spots trends in the real estate industry. Data was analyzed for the Web by Richard Bronosky/AJC and for print by Megan Clarke/AJC.
ZIP codes with fewer than 75 home sales were excluded from ZIP code analysis lists, but are included on individual ZIP code detail pages.
Median prices differ from Average prices and are considered to be more indicative of market conditions.
Percent change = A way of analyzing year to year change on a scale of 100. A ZIP code seeing a 100 percent increase in home values means homes sold for twice as much as the previous year.
The following counties are included in the data: Barrow, Bartow, Carroll, Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Hall, Henry, Newton, Paulding, Rockdale, Spalding, Walton.
