The address is enough to start in Atlanta. If you know the condition or the age of the roof, tell us. It helps us reach a firmer number sooner.
A real number on paper, with the recent sales nearby and the repair costs behind it. There is no obligation, and nothing to sign.
Seven days if you need it, ninety if you would rather take your time. We buy the house as it is, cover the standard closing costs, and you can leave behind what you do not want.

From our own transaction records and HUD data for Atlanta ZIP codes. Updated 2026-10-29.
Across the Atlanta properties in our records, the median time on market is 43 days. A cash sale skips that wait. There is no listing period, no showings, and no bank loan that can fall through at day 30.
The typical Atlanta home we look at was built in 2019. At that age, the roof, the original wiring and the heating and cooling are what most often end a retail contract after inspection. We buy the house as it is and price the repairs into the offer, so you do not have to make them.
HUD sets Fair Market Rent for a 3-bedroom in Atlanta at $1,920/month. That number is why we can pay cash here: many of these homes work as long-term rentals for us, so we do not depend on reselling quickly to make the numbers work.
Atlanta pricing swings hard by submarket and by school attendance zone, and intown lot value can exceed the value of the house standing on it. If that is the case with your house, we will say so. It usually means you should be paid for the land, not the structure.
We will tell you that on the first call rather than let you spend two weeks discovering it.
Where the builder is still selling new phases, their incentives cap what any resale can bring, including ours.
That is 14 ZIP codes across Atlanta, including 30032, 30303, 30310 and 30311. Not listed? We still look at it. Georgia houses outside these ZIPs come to us regularly.
We pulled 694 recorded sales across the Atlanta ZIP codes we work in. We publish it because you cannot tell whether an offer is fair without knowing what a finished house sells for.
Between $140,000 and $310,000 covers half of all Atlanta sales in our data. Anyone quoting you a firm number before seeing the house is guessing inside that range.
| Home size | Median sale price | Sales |
|---|---|---|
| 2-bedroom | $132,504 | 96 |
| 3-bedroom | $190,000 | 402 |
| 4-bedroom | $270,000 | 138 |
Recorded sales in our own database of recent sales for these ZIP codes. Sale prices reflect what buyers paid for homes in their condition at the time, so they are not an appraisal of your house and not an offer.
We price by ZIP, not by city. Here is what each one looks like in our data:
| ZIP | Median sale | Per sq ft | Sales | HUD 3BR rent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30032 | $337,942 | $226 | 11 | $1,860 |
| 30303 | — | — | — | $2,420 |
| 30310 | $210,000 | $157 | 81 | $1,730 |
| 30311 | $195,000 | $117 | 55 | $1,640 |
| 30314 | $157,500 | $124 | 36 | $1,530 |
| 30315 | $155,000 | $130 | 69 | $1,470 |
| 30316 | $297,000 | $205 | 56 | $2,250 |
| 30318 | $165,300 | $149 | 70 | $2,460 |
| 30331 | $200,000 | $137 | 126 | $1,920 |
| 30334 | — | — | — | $2,300 |
| 30339 | $500,000 | $212 | 5 | $2,950 |
| 30344 | $167,500 | $135 | 23 | $2,010 |
Look at the gap between 30339 ($500,000) and 30315 ($155,000). Same city, roughly 223% apart. Anyone quoting you a citywide price per square foot is not looking at your block.
Sale figures are medians of recorded sales in our own database of recent sales. Rent is HUD Fair Market Rent for that ZIP. A dash means we do not hold enough data for that ZIP to publish a number we would stand behind.
Figures for the whole market in every Atlanta ZIP code we buy in, from the ReStar housing database · August 2026. These are not our numbers. They cover every sale in the ZIP, not just ours.
Listings in Atlanta are moving faster than a year ago: a median of 64 days to go under contract, 10 days quicker. That is only the wait until it goes under contract. A buyer with a bank loan then needs another 30 to 45 days to close, if the loan holds. If the house is ready to list and there is no date you are working toward, listing it is a real option, and we will say so.
Houses here are closing at a median 0.98 of asking price, so the price sellers start at is not the price they end at. Keep that in mind when you compare a cash offer with what an agent projects you will net.
Home values across these ZIP codes are 4.5% lower than a year ago. On a vacant or inherited house, that is a second cost running alongside taxes, insurance and utilities while you decide.
Median rent of $1,815 against a median sale price of $285,372 means a year of rent comes to about 7.6% of the price. That is the honest reason we can pay cash in Atlanta: many of these houses work as rentals for us, so we do not depend on reselling quickly.
| ZIP | Median sale | Per sq ft | Days on market | Listed now | Median rent |

| 30032 | $269,883 | $185 | 80 days | 326 | $1,688 |

Comparing a market with its county shows which buyers can afford it and how long they take to decide. Here is Fulton County next to the Atlanta ZIP codes.
| Fulton County | Atlanta ZIPs | |
|---|---|---|
| Median sale price | $463,962 | $285,372 |
| Price per sq ft | $229 | $193 |
| Days on market | 58 days | 64 days |
| Median rent | $1,926/mo | $1,815/mo |
| Median household income | $95,292 | — |
The Atlanta ZIP codes we buy in run 38% below the Fulton County median of $463,962. That gap is why a countywide price per square foot will not price your house well, and it is why we work out our offers by ZIP.
Time on market differs too: a median of 64 days in the Atlanta ZIP codes against 58 days across Fulton County.
County-wide, the median sale price is +9.2% against a year ago.
Note that Atlanta spans more than one county. 11 of the ZIP codes we buy in sit in Fulton County and the rest fall outside it, so treat the county column as background, not as a guide to your house's price.
County figures from the ReStar housing database; the Atlanta column is the median across the ZIP codes listed above. Income is the most recent Census estimate.
We buy across Atlanta, including these. We do not hold a mapped boundary for them, so rather than estimate a median we show the ZIP each one sits in. The medians for each ZIP are in the table further up this page.
Neighborhood boundaries from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Sale figures are medians of recorded sales in our own database for those boundaries. They describe the area, not your house, and they are not an offer.
Below is the same math every cash buyer runs, starting from the median Atlanta sale price.
| What the house would sell for once repaired | $200,000 |
| − Repairs to get it there | −$24,000 |
| − Holding, closing and resale costs | −$20,000 |
| − The buyer's margin | −$24,000 |
| = Illustrative cash offer | $132,000 |
This is an illustration, not an offer on your house. A house needing less work than the median moves the number up. One needing a roof, heating, plumbing or wiring moves it down. If a buyer will not walk you through these four lines on your house, ask why.
If your house is in good condition, this same math may tell you to list it instead. If it does, we will say so. See how the offer is built, line by line, including where that line falls.
This uses the median Atlanta sale price of $200,000 from our own records of recorded sales, with the Georgia transfer tax at the rate set by law. The middle column is the cost of listing. The right column shows what selling to us removes.
| Cost | On a $200,000 sale | Selling to us |
|---|---|---|
| Agent commission, both sides (about 5.5%) | $11,000 | None |
| Transfer tax, $1.00 per $1,000 of consideration | $200 | We pay it |
| Owner's title policy and settlement fees | about $2,000 | We cover the standard ones |
| Buyer concessions and post-inspection credits (about 1%) | $2,000 | None. There is no inspection contingency |
| Repairs, cleaning and staging before listing (about 1%) | $2,000 | None. We buy the house as it is |
| Total cost to sell | $17,200, or 8.6% of the sale price | $0 |
Every closing statement follows the same formula:
Net proceeds = sale price − mortgage payoff − closing costs − commissions − repairs and concessions
On the median Atlanta sale, with an example $90,000 still owed, listing leaves you roughly $92,800 after the $17,200 of costs above. A cash offer starts below the retail price but carries none of those five costs. That is why the two routes land closer together than the headline numbers suggest. On a house in good condition that can wait 60 to 90 days, listing still usually wins.
Illustrative arithmetic on this market's median, not a quote on your property. Commission is customary rather than fixed and is negotiable; your payoff, liens and tax proration are specific to your file. See the full cash offer versus listing comparison to run it on your own numbers, or what seller closing costs cover.
Georgia is an attorney-closing state: a licensed attorney conducts the closing and issues title. Practically that means the timeline is set by the closing attorney's title work, so getting the file opened early matters more here than in title-company states.
On our side the steps are the same every time: a title search, payoff figures ordered on any existing mortgage, liens and municipal balances found, then the money sent and the deed recorded. A cash sale does not skip title work. What it skips is the lender, the appraisal and the financing contingency, which is where most retail contracts on Atlanta houses fall apart.

Every row below comes from a statute, not our opinion, and each one links to the source so you can check it yourself. These are also the items that most often hold up a closing in Atlanta.
| Seller disclosure required | O.C.G.A. § 23-2-51 (fraud by concealment): read the statute |
| Transfer or excise tax | Transfer tax, $1.00 per $1,000 of consideration |
| Rate used in the costs below | 0.1% |
| Who pays it | Seller |
| Statutory authority | O.C.G.A. § 48-6-1: source |
| Who conducts the closing | attorney |
| Attorney required at closing | Yes |

Georgia is an attorney-closing state: a licensed Georgia attorney must conduct the closing and issue title. No title agent can do it in their place.
Georgia income tax applies to gain above the federal exclusion. Federally, the exclusion for a primary residence shelters up to $250,000 of gain if you are single and $500,000 if you are married filing jointly, provided you owned and lived in the house for two of the last five years. See IRS Topic 701. An inherited property takes a stepped-up basis at the date of death, which usually means little or no taxable gain if you sell soon after.

| Listing with an agent | Our cash offer | |
|---|---|---|
| Agent commission | About 6% of the sale price | None |
| Repairs before closing | Buyer and appraiser both have a say | None. We buy the house as it is |
| Cleaning and showings | Open houses and strangers walking through | Neither |
| Time to close | 43 days on the market, then another 30 to 45 days to close | 7 to 14 days once title is clear |
| Financing falls through | A common reason a sale falls apart | No lender involved |
| Closing costs | Usually paid by the seller | We cover the standard ones |
| Certainty of the number | The buyer can ask for a lower price after inspection | The written number is the number |
The listing timeline is the median days on market for Atlanta in our own records, plus a typical closing with a bank loan. Commission is the customary 6% and varies by agreement.
If you accept an offer, you have three days after signing to walk away for any reason at all. You owe nothing, and you do not have to explain. We would rather not buy the house than have you feel pushed into selling it.
If the house is in good shape and you are not in a hurry, listing it will almost always net you more than we can offer. We are not being modest. Our offer is lower than a retail sale because we take on the repairs, the carrying costs and the risk.
If that sounds like your house, we will tell you so. It saves time for both of us, and it beats pretending otherwise.
Every house comes with its own story and its own timing. These pages explain what changes in each case:
You can usually still sell the house before that date.
We can buy while the estate is being settled, and wait for the paperwork.
One clear closing date, and the proceeds split cleanly.
Occupied is fine. You do not have to remove anyone first.
These get paid out of the proceeds at closing.
Fire, water or structural damage. We price it in, and you do not repair it.
We buy across Georgia, not just Atlanta. Each of these has its own sale prices, ZIP breakdown and rent data published the same way:
Usually you should not. A newer home in good condition belongs on the open market. The exception is a firm date, like a move, where certainty is worth more than the last few percent.
Typically 7 to 14 days once title is clear, because there is no bank loan to wait on. For comparison, the median Atlanta listing in our records sits 43 days before it is even under contract, and closing takes another 30 to 45 days after that.
Then a sale may not be the right move, and we will say so on the first call. We will not let you spend two weeks finding that out.
Transfer tax, $1.00 per $1,000 of consideration, about 0.1% of the price. Seller pays it under O.C.G.A. § 48-6-1. Statewide rate, computed net of any loan balance the buyer assumes. On a cash sale to us it comes out of our side of the settlement statement, not yours.
Yes. Georgia is an attorney-closing state: a licensed Georgia attorney must conduct the closing and issue title. No title agent can do it in their place.
Georgia is a caveat emptor state with a duty to disclose known latent defects a buyer could not find by reasonable inspection. The Seller's Property Disclosure Statement is standard practice rather than a statutory requirement. The citation is O.C.G.A. § 23-2-51 (fraud by concealment). Selling the house as it is does not remove the obligation. It changes who pays for the repair, not whether you have to mention it.
On the median Atlanta sale price of $200,000 in our recorded-sales data, the listing route runs roughly $17,200 once you add agent commission, transfer tax, title and settlement fees, buyer concessions and repairs before listing, around 9% of the sale price. A cash sale to us carries none of those five line items.
There is no fixed percentage, and any buyer quoting one before seeing the house is guessing. The offer is what the house would sell for once repaired, minus repairs, minus holding and resale costs, minus the buyer's margin. Repairs are the line that moves most: a house needing only paint and finishes lands far higher than one needing a roof, heating, plumbing or wiring. Ask any buyer to walk you through all four lines on your house.
Sometimes, through a short sale, but that needs your lender's written approval and takes months, not days. If that is where things stand, we will tell you on the first call rather than let you find out two weeks in.
Yes. We buy in any condition. There are no repairs, no cleaning and no staging, and you can leave behind anything you do not want. Selling as it is changes who pays for the work, not what you have to disclose about it.
It means the purchase is paid for without a mortgage, so there is no lender, no appraisal and no financing contingency. That is the whole advantage: a buyer's loan falling through is a common reason a home sale falls apart, and it cannot happen on a cash purchase.
Check it against the recorded sales published on this page and the four lines of math above it. We show you the recent sales nearby that the number came from. If listing would leave you with more, we will say so. That conversation is quicker for both of us than the alternative.
None. There is no agent commission and no listing fee, and we cover standard closing costs. The number on the offer is what you receive, less anything still owed on a mortgage or lien.
No. The offer is written, free, and yours to walk away from. We would rather you compare it with a listing than feel pushed into it.
Send the address. Within a day you get a written offer, with the recent sales nearby behind it. If listing would leave you with more, we will tell you that instead.
Also see other Georgia markets we buy in, how the offer is calculated, and the situations we help with.
