Questions buyers and sellers ask us most
How much do I need for a down payment in Georgia?
For conventional loans, 20% down on the Georgia median of $389,750 would be $77,950. Most Georgia buyers close with 3-5% down via conventional, FHA (3.5% down), or VA (0% for eligible service members). Check with a local lender.
What is the best time of year to buy a home in Georgia?
Late summer through early fall is historically the most favorable buyer window across most US markets, and Georgia follows this pattern. Spring has the most inventory but the most competition. Winter has the least of both.
Can I buy a home in Georgia without seeing it in person?
Yes. A local REALTOR® running video walkthroughs, paired with a thorough inspection contingency, makes a remote purchase manageable. Most Georgia agents are comfortable with this workflow.
How long does it take to close on a home in Georgia?
30-45 days is typical for a financed purchase, and 14-21 days is achievable for cash. The bottleneck is usually appraisal and lender underwriting, not title work.
