Perry GA Housing Market | March 2026: 158 Listings, Steady Prices, and What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know

The Perry GA housing market added even more inventory in March 2026 while home prices held steady near the $300K mark. For anyone watching Houston County real estate, the takeaway is clear: buyers have more options than they’ve had in a long time, and sellers are competing for attention in ways they weren’t a year ago.

March brought 42 closed transactions across Perry and the surrounding South Houston County corridor. At the same time, 158 active listings sat on the market — giving Perry one of the highest inventory counts of any city in the county.

That combination of steady sales and rising inventory is shaping everything about how homes are being priced, marketed, and negotiated in Perry right now.

If you read last month’s Perry GA Housing Market Update for February 2026, you’ll notice the trend continuing: inventory growth is outpacing absorption, and the homes that sell are the ones priced closest to where buyers are actually transacting.

Perry Real Estate Snapshot | March 2026

As of March 2026, Perry remains one of the most active residential markets in Middle Georgia — but the dynamics are shifting toward buyers having more leverage than they’ve had in recent years.

March 2026 Sold Summary

(Central Georgia MLS)

The average sold price landing just below $308K shows Perry’s pricing has remained remarkably consistent. For comparison, February’s average came in at $311K — a difference so small it reinforces that Perry is in a stable pricing environment rather than one experiencing significant appreciation or decline.

The median sold price of ~$296K tells an important story: half of all transactions in Perry last month closed below $300K. That matters for buyers using VA or FHA financing who are focused on monthly payment thresholds.

And at 32 days on market, homes that are priced right are still moving with purpose.

Active Inventory Snapshot

Here’s the number that defines the Perry market right now: 158 active listings.

That’s a significant amount of inventory for a city this size. And when you pair it with the 42 homes that sold in March, you’re looking at roughly a 3.8-month supply of housing — still a reasonably healthy market, but one where sellers can no longer assume urgency from buyers.

The gap between what’s listed (~$354K average) and what’s selling (~$308K average) continues to widen slightly. That spread tells you that sellers are entering the market with optimism while buyers remain disciplined and anchored to recent comparable sales.

Homes sitting at 59 average days on market on the active side — compared to 32 days for sold homes — show that overpriced listings linger while correctly priced homes still transact efficiently.

Where Perry Sales Are Happening

The geographic story in March was straightforward: almost all activity occurred within Perry’s core residential corridors.

Perry & South Houston County

This corridor continues to capture the overwhelming majority of buyer demand in the Perry market. Established neighborhoods, newer subdivisions, proximity to schools, and easy access to commuter routes along Highway 41 and I-75 keep this area at the center of transaction activity.

96 to Mossy Creek

A single transaction in this area. Not enough volume to draw conclusions, but worth noting that entry-level or unique-situation properties in Perry’s outlying areas still move quickly when priced to sell.

Perry GA Home Price Behavior | March 2026

March transactions revealed clear pricing tiers that buyers and sellers should understand.

Under $250K

Limited supply. Strong demand from entry-level buyers and investors. When homes appear at this price point in Perry, they tend to move quickly — several closings in this range happened in under two weeks.

$250K – $325K

This is the core of the Perry GA housing market. The majority of March’s 42 transactions fell within or near this range. VA buyers, conventional buyers, and FHA buyers all compete actively here, which keeps demand consistent.

If you’re wondering what this range looks like in practice, the breakdown in What Homes Can You Buy for $250K–$300K in Perry, GA gives a clear picture of the neighborhoods, home types, and square footage buyers are finding. And for buyers stretching slightly higher, What $300K–$350K Gets You in Perry shows the step-up in space and finishes.

$350K – $450K

A growing segment as new construction communities expand across Perry. Buyers at this level tend to evaluate more carefully, compare across neighborhoods, and take their time. Homes in this range sat longer on average than those below $325K.

$450K+

Smaller buyer pool. Longer evaluation periods. Multiple closings happened in March at this level, but the pace slows significantly above this threshold. Sellers pricing into this tier need standout presentation and competitive positioning against both resale and new construction.

How Buyers Are Financing Homes in Perry

The financing mix in March continued to reflect Perry’s connection to Robins Air Force Base and its appeal to a broad range of buyer types.

VA buyers led the market again with 16 transactions — the single largest financing category. This is consistent with Perry’s proximity to Robins AFB, where active-duty military, veterans, and DoD civilians make up a significant share of the local buyer pool. VA buyers transacted at an average price of $320K, reinforcing that this group is active across Perry’s mid-range and upper-mid-range homes.

FHA buyers moved the fastest at just 20 average days on market. Nine FHA transactions closed in March at an average of $314K, suggesting that this buyer segment is finding and acting on well-priced homes efficiently.

Conventional buyers skewed higher in price at $326K average, typically targeting newer construction or updated resale homes in Perry’s established subdivisions.

Cash buyers concentrated in the lower price tiers at $238K average — consistent with investor activity or downsizers purchasing below the market’s median.

This mix of financing types is one of the reasons the Perry housing market remains resilient. Demand doesn’t rely on any single buyer segment.

Market Feel | Perry GA — March 2026

The Perry housing market in March felt:

•       Inventory-rich — 158 active listings give buyers real choice

•       Price-steady — average sold prices holding near $300K–$310K

•       Competitive for sellers — correctly priced homes sell in about a month; overpriced homes sit

•       Financing-diverse — VA, FHA, conventional, and cash buyers all active

•       Development-driven — new construction continues entering the market across multiple subdivisions

This isn’t a market defined by urgency or rapid appreciation. It’s a market defined by consistency, selection, and the growing importance of pricing strategy.

What This Signals for Spring and Summer 2026

For Buyers

More inventory means more options — and more leverage. You don’t have to rush into anything right now in Perry. You can compare neighborhoods, evaluate multiple homes, and negotiate from a position of strength. The homes priced closest to recent comparable sales are still moving, so when you find one that fits, be ready — but know that you have time to make a good decision.

If you’re using VA or FHA financing, you’re in the most active buyer segment in this market. That means competition at the $250K–$325K level is real, even with higher inventory. Being pre-approved and ready to move matters.

For Sellers

158 active listings means real competition. The homes that sold in March had one thing in common: they were priced close to where buyers are actually transacting. The further your listing drifts from recent comparable sales, the longer it’s going to sit.

Move-in-ready presentation matters more than it did a year ago. Buyers comparing 10 or 15 homes are going to gravitate toward the ones that feel ready. That means staying on top of maintenance and presenting your home at its best isn’t optional — it’s what separates a 30-day sale from a 90-day listing.

For the Market

Perry continues expanding as a major residential center within Houston County. Development across the northeast Perry corridor — including the new Kroger Marketplace on Perry Parkway and continued commercial investment — signals that the infrastructure is following the rooftops.

Spring and summer activity should bring additional sales momentum, and the balance between new construction and resale inventory will continue shaping how homes are priced and how quickly they sell.

The Takeaway

March confirmed what February suggested: the Perry GA housing market is in a steady, inventory-rich environment where pricing discipline defines outcomes.

Buyers have choices. Sellers have competition. And the homes that move are the ones positioned correctly from day one.
