Jackson GA Market Report – January 2026

We’ve officially made it into 2026 and there are a lot of eyes on the real estate market. Every day, I’m hearing news stories focused on home affordability, interest rates, and proposed changes to help stimulate the housing market. For many people considering a move in the spring, January is when preparations begin. I’ve already scheduled several consultations with sellers this month, to help them determine how they should best prepare in order to sell for top dollar. I have space on my calendar for a few more, if that’s something you’re considering this year too.

No matter the season you decide to sell, you & I both know you’ve put too much into your home over the years to leave money on the table. As you consider selling, you deserve insight and guidance from an expert in your local market. Read on for the top things to know about the Jackson area real estate market right now.

Days on Market have Decreased

In December, the median days on market for sold properties here in Jackson was 34, down from 35 in November. While this is technically a slight decrease, it’s not significant enough to signal any type of market shift. In the current market, it remains important for sellers to have the right strategy in place to prepare, price, and position it in a way that reaches as many buyers as possible.

Number of Properties Sold has Increased

In December, there were 49 closed home sales in Jackson. This is more than double the 22 sales that closed in November. Interestingly, this pattern is consistent with the numbers we saw last year in November and December. Sellers should focus on making sure they’re working with a professional that knows the local market patterns and will ensure their home is priced & prepared properly to stand out among the competition.

Median Sale Price has Remained Flat

The median sale price in December remained steady at $260k, despite a decrease in available inventory for the same time period.  Homeowners who wish to sell right now should be sure to work with an agent who is monitoring the market to set appropriate expectations from the start, to maximize sales price while minimizing days on market.
