The number of homes sold in Chattooga County increased during August compared with the same month last year, while average and median sale prices moved lower. According to Georgia MLS, 13 homes were sold in Chattooga County during August 2026, compared with eight sales in August 2025. That represents an increase of more than 62 percent in the number of sales from a year earlier. The average sale price in August was $297,308, compared with $413,250 in August of last year. However, last year’s average was affected by the relatively small number of transactions and higher-priced properties, making year-to-year averages in a small county such as Chattooga particularly susceptible to large swings. Georgia MLS reports that the 13 homes sold last month had an average listing price of $315,015, meaning the average sale came in about $17,700 below the asking price. A separate August market report from Realtor.com puts the median sale price in Chattooga County at $170,000, down about 8 percent from a year ago.

Realtor.com reported 169 active listings in Chattooga County during August, about 6.5 percent more than a year earlier. The county’s median asking price was $219,750, up just over 4 percent from August…
