As we move into the second half of February, it’s a great time to review how the Coweta County real estate market is performing as we begin 2026. While the spring market hasn’t fully arrived yet, January data gives us valuable insight into current trends—and what buyers and sellers should expect in the coming months.
Coweta County Housing Market Snapshot – January 2026
In January, there were 636 homes for sale in Coweta County, reflecting a slight dip from previous months but overall steady inventory compared to recent years.
Market activity included:
- 148 homes sold
- 139 homes under contract
- Average days on market: 65 days
The increase in days on market is one of the most important trends we’re seeing. Homes are taking longer to sell than they did during the ultra-competitive markets of the past few years, especially depending on price point, condition, and location.
The average home sales price in Coweta County for January was $417,503. Notably, the average price of homes currently under contract is higher, at $491,734, indicating continued demand in certain segments of the market.
What This Means for Coweta County Home Sellers
If you’re thinking about selling a home in Coweta County, today’s market requires a more strategic approach. With longer days on market, buyers are closely evaluating:
- Accurate pricing based on current market conditions
- Home maintenance and overall condition
- Presentation and staging
- Neighborhood and location
Homes that are priced correctly and well-prepared continue to sell, while homes that miss the mark may remain on the market longer. It’s also important to remember that real estate is local—market conditions can vary significantly by neighborhood, even within Coweta County and the greater Newnan area.
What Coweta County Buyers Should Know Right Now
For buyers, this market presents real opportunity. Inventory levels are higher than we’ve seen at various points in recent years, giving buyers more homes to choose from and less competition—especially before the spring market begins.
Buying earlier in the year can offer advantages such as:

If you’re planning to buy a home in Coweta County or Newnan, now is the time to complete your mortgage pre-approval or pre-qualification. Having financing in place strengthens your offer and positions you well as market activity increases.
With longer days on market, some sellers may also be more open to negotiations, creating additional opportunities for well-prepared buyers.
