Market Briefs
February Market Brief – NWMAR Highlights
March 27, 2026
In February 2026, the housing market across Bartow and Gordon counties showed stronger momentum than in January, with both markets posting notable month-over-month gains in homes sold. While pricing trends varied slightly by county, home values generally remained stable to stronger year over year, signaling continued demand across Northwest Metro. Inventory also stayed elevated compared to last year, giving buyers more options as the spring market begins to take shape. As supply remains higher and activity picks up, REALTORS® are well positioned to help buyers and sellers navigate changing conditions across both counties.

Bartow County recorded 102 single-family home sales in February, a strong 56.9% increase from January, though still 14.3% below February 2025.
