Highest Atlanta Condo Sales for December 2025

December 2025: Selective Buyers, Measured Outcomes

Precision Over Momentum at Year-End

December 2025 closed the year with a clear reminder that Atlanta’s luxury condo market remains active, but highly selective. Eleven condominiums sold above $1 million during the month, with pricing ranging from just over $1.04 million to a standout $3.225 million closing. That spread alone illustrated how uneven demand had become at the top end of the market. Buyers were willing to transact, but only when pricing, condition, and positioning aligned closely with expectations.

Rather than a broad-based surge, December reflected a market where outcomes were earned. Well-positioned homes still attracted attention, but buyers showed little appetite for stretching simply to close before year-end. In many cases, patience outweighed urgency, reinforcing that timing alone was not enough to drive results.

Early Fall Set the Tone

September and October provided important context for how the year ultimately closed. September 2025 produced eight $1M+ closings, supported by stronger price-per-square-foot performance and more consistent buyer engagement across top-tier listings. Well-priced luxury homes benefited from residual momentum coming out of summer, and execution was generally smoother when expectations were aligned early.

October followed with a slight increase in $1M+ sales, but the character of the market shifted. Buyers became more selective, days on market widened, and successful closings increasingly depended on realistic pricing rather than momentum. Notably, no sales exceeded original asking prices, signaling a transition away from competitive bidding dynamics and toward a market governed by discipline and evaluation.

Price Per Square Foot Told the Real Story

December’s price-per-square-foot data highlighted just how nuanced the luxury condo market had become. Values ranged from roughly $460 per square foot to nearly $875 per square foot, a spread wide enough to make surface-level comparisons unreliable. At this level of the market, PSF was shaped less by headline price and more by building age, floor plan efficiency, finishes, and overall livability.

Newer luxury developments continued to command premium pricing, reflecting buyer preference for modern layouts and turnkey condition. At the same time, several established buildings closed above $1 million at far more moderate PSF levels, reinforcing that brand recognition alone no longer guaranteed top-tier pricing. Buyers weighed value carefully, and PSF became a reflection of differentiation rather than status.

Time on Market Mattered More Than Timing

Days on market added another critical layer to December’s story. While a small number of homes sold quickly, the median $1M+ sale still required just over 100 days to secure a buyer, and average market time extended well beyond four months. The range was striking, with closings occurring anywhere from 12 days to nearly 400 days on market.

This dispersion underscored that December was not driven by seasonal urgency. Instead, outcomes were dictated by how well a property resonated with a narrow buyer pool. Homes that missed the mark initially often required extended exposure, adjustments, or simply the arrival of the right buyer, reinforcing the importance of patience and realistic expectations.

Discipline Was Ultimately Rewarded

Extended days on market did not prevent successful outcomes. Several high-dollar closings occurred after long exposure, suggesting that sellers who remained disciplined rather than reactive were ultimately rewarded. Rather than capitulating late in the year, many transactions reflected sellers who understood their positioning and waited for alignment instead of chasing momentum.

For buyers, this environment created opportunity without urgency. Time allowed for careful comparison, negotiation, and decision-making, reinforcing a market defined by evaluation rather than emotion. December rewarded thoughtful execution on both sides of the transaction.

A Two-Track Luxury Market Emerged

Taken together, December’s $1M+ condo sales illustrated a clear two-track luxury market. A limited number of well-positioned homes attracted attention quickly, while a larger group required time but still closed successfully at meaningful price levels. Neither path was inherently better, but each required a different strategy.

As the market moves into 2026, the takeaway is straightforward. At the top end of Atlanta’s condo market, results are shaped by realism, patience, and differentiation far more than timing or incentives. Selective buyers remain active, but outcomes increasingly favor those who understand how their property truly fits within a narrower, more discerning landscape.
