NE GA & NC Real Estate Activity for February, 2026

Happy Spring to Everyone –

Inventory continues to rise, but that’s okay. Contracts outstanding are relatively low, but are at least rising back toward healthier levels. Actual closed sales units bumped up some, but so far 2026 is still tracking lower than 2025 at this early point. But, it is still early. As for particular counties, most are slow with no big change in prices. The two minor exceptions are Clay County, which saw a nice uptick in units sold, and Fannin County which saw some softening in prices. The most notable one was Towns County, which seems to be moving units more briskly as well as sporting higher prices. The all-important residential average price continues to march slowly upward, which to me is the greatest indicator of the resilience of our market and demonstrates the wisdom of investing in homes in the north Georgia mountain area.  Read / download the full report:
