  • Augusta, buyers, Evans, North Augusta, sellers

The Augusta housing market is changing — and fast. Whether you’re planning to buy, sell, or relocate in 2025, knowing where the market is headed can help you make smarter decisions (and avoid costly ones). As a local real estate professional who lives and works here in Augusta, GA, I’m breaking down what you really need to know.This isn’t just about stats — it’s about what it means for you.

What’s Driving the Market in 2025?

Here’s a quick overview of the key factors influencing the Augusta housing outlook this year:

  • Inventory remains tight, but we’re starting to see a gradual increase in listings compared to 2023 and 2024. That gives buyers slightly more breathing room — but competition is still strong for move-in ready homes.
  • Interest rates are expected to hold steady or decline slightly, which may bring more buyers off the sidelines. This could spark a mini wave of activity in the spring and summer months.
  • New construction continues to grow, especially in Grovetown, Evans, and Harlem — providing more options for military relocations and families moving into the area.
  • Military PCS moves tied to Fort Eisenhower remain a strong driver of demand in the CSRA, especially during spring and summer.

What This Means If You’re Buying a Home in Augusta in 2025

  • Start early. Inventory is improving, but homes that are priced well and move-in ready are still selling quickly — especially in desirable neighborhoods.
  • Don’t expect massive price drops. Augusta remains one of the more affordable housing markets in Georgia, and demand continues to support stable (and even slightly increasing) home values.
  • Explore new construction options. Many builders are offering incentives, especially in neighborhoods like Haynes Station, Crawford Creek, and Sims Landing.
  • If you’re relocating to Fort Eisenhower, reach out early. I specialize in military relocation and can help you time your PCS move for less stress and more value.

What This Means If You’re Selling a Home in Augusta in 2025

  • Pricing matters more than ever. Overpriced homes are sitting. Homes that are clean, staged, and priced right are still selling fast — sometimes with multiple offers.
  • Prep matters. A small investment in curb appeal, paint, or landscaping can go a long way. (Not sure where to start? I offer a free pre-listing prep walkthrough.)
  • Timing is everything. If you can list in early spring or summer — when PCS orders and relocation activity peak — you’ll likely attract more serious buyers.
  • Yes, you can sell and buy in this market. I help sellers build a realistic transition plan so you’re not left scrambling between closings.

Neighborhoods to Watch in 2025

  • Evans – Still one of the most in-demand areas with strong resale value
  • Grovetown – Popular for military families and new construction
  • Harlem – Growing quickly, with more affordability and land
  • Martinez – Great for buyers looking for mature neighborhoods and established homes
  • Downtown Augusta & Summerville – Strong for buyers looking for historic charm or investment properties
