December Market Brief – NWMAR Highlights

January 27, 2026

In December 2025, housing activity across Bartow and Gordon counties showed renewed momentum, with stronger sales activity signaling continued buyer engagement to close out the year. While pricing moderated in both markets, conditions remained stable overall, supported by inventory levels that continue to promote balance. Increased supply has expanded buyer choice while reinforcing the importance of strategic pricing from sellers. Together, these trends point to a market that remains active yet measured, creating steady opportunities for REALTORS® to guide clients confidently as conditions continue to normalize.
