Welcome to our analysis of the North Atlanta land market, where the concept of "land" encompasses two distinct markets: small in-town lots and multi-acre suburban parcels. As a GA Licensed Realtor, I, Satish Kurelly, aim to provide you with an accurate understanding of the current market trends. The data from the FMLS land listings as of October 28, 2026, reveals a total of 613 land listings across six areas in North Atlanta.
A closer look at the listings reveals that the median price per acre varies significantly across different areas. For instance, in Atlanta, the median price per acre is $440,917, with a median lot size of 0.32 acres, indicating a market dominated by smaller in-town lots. In contrast, areas like Cumming, Alpharetta, and Suwanee have larger median lot sizes, ranging from 1.11 to 2.2 acres, with corresponding median prices per acre. This disparity highlights the importance of considering the specific market when evaluating land prices.
