Real estate, Eatonton, GA

More homes are on the market in Eatonton right now. That part is true. But the part that often gets left out: buyers are still showing up. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 130 homes sold and 134 pending in ZIP 31024 during the three months ending July 31, 2026. That is not a market that has gone quiet.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows 269 homes for sale in ZIP 31024, up 17.5% from the same period last year. That is real growth in supply. Nationally, Realtor.com reported active listings grew 5.5% year over year, topping 1.16 million homes for sale. Eatonton is growing faster than that national pace. For buyers, that means more options. For sellers, it means more competition.

Prices are still moving in the right direction

The median sale price in ZIP 31024 was $430,000 for the three months ending July 31, 2026, according to the Real Estate Data Aggregator. That is up 1.9% from the same months in 2025. It is not a big jump. But prices held and moved forward, even as inventory grew. The Federal Housing Finance Agency reported U.S. house prices rose 2.6% from July 2025 to July 2026. Eatonton is close to that national pace.

Homes are selling a little faster than last year

The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows the median days on market in ZIP 31024 was 76 days. That is 6 days shorter than the same period in 2025. Slower than some markets, but moving in the right direction. The homes that are moving are the ones priced to match what buyers see when they look around.

A small but real shift in how offers are landing

The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows that 12.3% of homes in ZIP 31024 sold above list price during the three months ending July 31, 2026. That share is up 6 points from the same period last year. That is a meaningful move. Some homes are still drawing competitive offers. The average sale came in at 96% of list price, down just 0.3 points from a year before. Sellers are getting close to what they ask, when they ask the right number.

The national picture adds some context

Mortgage rates topped 7% for the first time since January 2025, according to Realtor.com. That matters for buyers budgeting a purchase. Nationally, Realtor.com also reported that 20.8% of listings saw a price cut in September, the highest share since October 2022. That is the environment sellers are working in right now. Pricing carefully from the start is more important than it was a year ago.

One more thing worth knowing: these numbers cover all of ZIP 31024. One street, one neighborhood, one price range can read very differently from the ZIP code as a whole. If you want to know what the data looks like for your specific address, just reach out.
