Buying a Home in Statham GA: 2026 Prices, Schools, and Market Guide

Statham, Georgia is a small Barrow County city on the Highway 316 corridor between Atlanta and Athens. In October 2026, buyers here are working with a median list price near $400,000, roughly 3.5 months of supply, and homes that take about 47 to 72 days to sell. That is a slower, more negotiable market than the one buyers met two years ago. Buying a home in Statham also means weighing two school districts, a growing pool of new construction, and a commute that reaches both Athens and Atlanta. Bell Real Estate Group brings 2000+ homes sold and 600+ 5 star reviews to every Statham purchase, and this guide gives you the local numbers behind your offer.

Statham GA Housing Market at a Glance, October 2026

– Median list price: $400,800 (Homes.com city guide, October 2026). Realtor.com reported a $430,000 median list price in August 2026.

– Median sale price: $386,520 over the trailing 12 months, down about 3% year over year (Homes.com, October 2026).

– Active inventory: 163 homes for sale in the city-level count (Homes.com, October 2026). Broader ZIP 30666 counts run from 232 (Realtor.com, August 2026) to 291 (Movoto, October 2026).

Portals disagree because they count different geographies and property types. The direction is consistent: inventory is up, prices are flat to slightly lower, and homes take longer to sell than they did a year ago.

Reading Statham Against Barrow County

Statham is in Barrow County, and the county numbers frame the city.

– Median sale price: $385,750 over the trailing 12 months, down 1.5% year over year (Momentum Realty MLS snapshot, October 4, 2026). Redfin reported $352,408 for August 2026, down 7.7% year over year.

– Median list price: $384,900 (Momentum, October 4, 2026); $392,000 (Realtor.com, September 2026).

– Active listings: 130 with 17 more under contract (Momentum, October 4, 2026). Redfin’s broader count was about 1,100 in September 2026.

– Median days on market: 47 days for active listings and 52 days to contract for sold homes (Momentum, October 4, 2026). Realtor.com reported 59 days in September 2026.

– Sale-to-list ratio: 97% (Momentum, October 4, 2026).

How we derived months of supply

Not every source publishes months of supply, so here is the math. Barrow County: 130 active listings divided by about 64 sales per month (762 sales over the trailing 12 months) equals about 2.0 months. Statham: 163 active listings divided by about 47 sales per month (562 sales over 12 months) equals about 3.5 months, which matches the published Homes.com figure.

Anything under six months is a seller’s market by the standard rule, but 3.5 months at the city level is meaningfully looser than 2.0 months countywide. For buyers, that means you have room to ask, and sellers still have room to hold firm.

What Your Budget Buys in Statham

New construction is a large share of the local market. Momentum reports that 45% of Barrow County sales over the past year were new builds, and Statham’s newer subdivisions are where most of that activity sits. Active listings in the 30666 ZIP currently span roughly $310,000 to $2.85 million (Movoto, October 2026).

– Entry point: 3 to 4 bedroom new-construction homes around $310,000 to $390,000.

– Mid-market: 4 bedroom homes with 2,100 to 2,400 square feet, roughly $360,000 to $570,000.

– Larger homes and estate properties: $550,000 and up, including acreage and lake-adjacent listings above $1.7 million.

Months of Supply and Days on Market: What They Mean for Your Offer

With 3.5 months of supply and marketing times in the 47 to 72 day range, Statham favors a patient buyer. You can ask for repairs, keep your inspection and appraisal contingencies, and negotiate on price where a home has sat for more than 60 days. You should not expect deep discounts. Barrow County sellers still collected 97% of their list price over the past year (Momentum, October 4, 2026), and homes in the busiest $300,000 to $400,000 band move fastest.
