Selling  Time For Atlanta Homes Increases. Atlanta Marketing Time Increases - Days On Market to Sell Atlanta Homes Increases 36%!  I guess I am not telling you something you do not already know about selling Atlanta homes.  It is taking longer to do so.  In fact the marketing time to sell an Atlanta homehas increase 35% since July 2005. In July of 2008 the average time for a single family home on the market before it receives a contract is 126.8 days on the average as compared with 93.8 days on market for Atlanta homes in July of 2005.  In my own opinion, these numbers can be much more deceptive since many of the statistics for days previously on the market can disappear after a specified period of time.  That means that in our Atlanta MLS(FMLS) certain numbers for solds, expired listings, withdrawn listings are purged from our data system at certain specified times.  Some previous listings can also be removed from the system if a hardship is is requested from the Atlanta MLSsystem.  I would personally say that in comparison to the early 1990's Atlanta homes are now on the market for much longer periods of times.
