🏡 Thinking about buying or selling in Marietta or Kennesaw? The Cobb County market has some really interesting things happening right now and I want to break it down for you.
Here is your Cobb County market snapshot for May 2026:
📊 Median home price: $489,900
📈 Home values up 2.5% year over year
📋 New listings this month: 267
📅 Median days on market: 21 days
💪 Mortgage applications running 31% higher than last year
Here is what that tells me as someone who works in this market every single day.
👉 Buyers — More people are getting pre-approved and getting serious. That 31% jump in mortgage applications means your competition is growing. If you have been on the fence, now is the time to get your financing in order and start moving with intention. The good news is inventory is up so you have real options to choose from.
👉 Sellers — Homes priced right are still selling in about 3 weeks. Values are up 2.5% from last year and buyer demand is building. If you have been thinking about listing, you are sitting on more equity than you may realize right now.
Cobb County offers something truly special. Whether it is the energy of Marietta Square, the family friendly communities of Kennesaw, or the convenience of Smyrna, this market consistently attracts buyers who want quality of life alongside smart investment value.
I would love to be your guide through it all.
