Bonaire, GA Real Estate Snapshot | November 2025: High Demand, Rising Inventory, and A Market Driven by Quality

November in Bonaire delivered exactly what we’ve come to expect from one of Houston County’s most desirable markets: strong buyer demand, higher price points, and a noticeable split between what homes are selling for and what sellers are listing at.
This month’s numbers show a familiar but important dynamic:

buyers are purchasing comfortably in the mid-to-upper $300s, while active listings are reaching into the high $300s and low $400s and sitting longer.

This SOLD vs ACTIVE gap is now shaping buyer behavior, seller strategy, and December expectations.

Here’s the full breakdown.
