Highest Atlanta Condo Sales for January 2025

January 2025 Luxury Condo Market Recap: Strong Sales, High Demand, and Market Trends

January 2025 was an active month for Atlanta’s luxury condo market, with over $28 million in total sales volume across 17 transactions exceeding $1 million. The average closing price came in at $1.66 million, with six properties surpassing the $2 million mark. The highest sale of the month was The Dillon Buckhead, Unit 1701, which closed for $2,799,000 ($1,111.60 per square foot). On the other end of the spectrum, the lowest sale was Above The Four Seasons, Unit 4330, which traded for $1,007,500 ($582.37 per square foot). These figures reinforce the continued demand for high-end condo living in the city, particularly in newer developments and well-established luxury towers.

One of the most interesting insights from this month’s sales data is the role of seller concessions in finalizing deals. While some transactions saw up to $50,000 in seller-paid costs, others, like 40 West 12th, Unit 1706, closed with zero concessions. Overall, sellers contributed a total of $266,925 in concessions, averaging $15,701 per sale. This suggests that while some buyers were able to negotiate favorable terms, others had to compete in a market where sellers held firm on pricing. Also important to note, in new development construction the Seller frequently offers incentives to entice buyers with extras but to remain firm on pricing. So The Dillon plays a big part in Buyer concession numbers. Additionally, nearly half of all properties (47.06%) sold at or above their original list price, a sign of strong demand for select properties.

Days on market varied widely depending on the building and circumstances. The average time on market was 123 days, but this number is somewhat skewed by The Dillon Buckhead’s extended listing timelines. As a new construction development, many of its sales reflect pre-construction contract dates rather than traditional market exposure—for example, Unit 1601 spent 359 days on the market due to early pre-sales. Conversely, Unit 1704 at The Dillon Buckhead sold in zero days. These trends highlight the importance of understanding new construction sales cycleswhen analyzing market performance.

When it comes to unit sizes, buyers showed interest in a wide range of floor plans. The largest unit sold was 805 Peachtree, Unit 617, a 4,210-square-foot loft-style residence that commanded $1,282,912. Meanwhile, the smallest unit sold was The Dillon Buckhead, Unit 1012, measuring 1,474 square feet, proving that even smaller, well-located new luxury residences remain in high demand. On average, units sold measured 2,520 square feet, offering a balance of spacious living without excessive square footage.

How January 2025 Compared to December 2024

When comparing January’s sales to December 2024, a few key shifts in the market stand out. December 2024 recorded only 12 condo sales exceeding $1 million, with the highest sale at $1,859,413—well below January’s peak sale of $2,799,000.

The mid-tier condo market ($500,000–$1,000,000) experienced a slight decline. December saw 23 sales in this range, while January recorded 18, possibly indicating a temporary cooldown or shifting buyer preferences as we head into the new year. Meanwhile, the affordable condo segment ($150,000–$500,000) saw a dramatic drop in activity, from 81 sales in December to just 18 in January. This sharp decline could be attributed to seasonal factors, holiday market slowdowns, or broader economic conditions impacting first-time buyers and investors.

Looking Ahead

Overall, the data indicates a strong start to 2025 for Atlanta’s luxury condo market, with increased high-end sales, higher price ceilings, and robust demand. However, the decline in mid-tier and lower-end sales warrants close monitoring in the coming months to determine whether this shift is seasonal or indicative of broader market trends. With continued demand for premium properties and limited new construction inventory, luxury pricing and competition among buyers are expected to remain strong. Meanwhile, seller concessions and extended listing timelines suggest that some negotiation power still exists, particularly in new construction developments and properties where pricing expectations may not yet align with buyer demand.

January’s performance further reinforces that well-designed new developments like The Dillon Buckhead continue to capture buyer interest and command premium pricing in Atlanta’s evolving luxury real estate landscape. As we move into 2025, keeping an eye on inventory levels, interest rates, and buyer sentiment will be critical in predicting market movement for the months ahead.
