The Chattooga County housing market remained relatively stable as the summer selling season continued, with buyers benefiting from a healthy inventory of homes and sellers still receiving offers close to their asking prices.

According to the latest June housing market data, Chattooga County had approximately 173 homes listed for sale, with a median listing price of about $210,000. Homes sold for an average of 100 percent of their asking price, indicating that well-priced properties continue to attract buyers.

While inventory has increased by nearly 27 percent compared to a year ago, giving buyers more choices, listing prices have softened slightly. The median listing price is down about 4.4 percent from June 2025, suggesting a more balanced market than in recent years. Homes are spending a median of 56 days on the market, about the same as last year.

Within Chattooga County, median listing prices vary by community. Summerville’s median listing price is around $209,900, Lyerly is $224,950, Trion is $205,000, and Menlo has the county’s highest median listing price at approximately $396,500.

Real estate analysts say the increased inventory is creating a more favorable environment for buyers while still allowing sellers to receive competitive offers for homes that are priced appropriately.
