Decatur, GA Homes for Sale inside the city
Current listings inside the City of Decatur, updated as homes come on and off the market.

Current listings
Decatur homes on the market.
Listings come from the FMLS and GAMLS feeds and refresh on their own. The search area follows the city limits closely, but I would confirm any address against the city boundary before relying on it for schools.

What is your Decatur GA home worth today?
Online estimates tend to miss what sets one Decatur GA home apart from the next. I can put together a price range based on recent sales nearby and the condition of your home, with no pressure to list.
Before you tour
What the listing won’t tell you.
The city limit is a legal line, not a road or a neighborhood name, and it decides schools, services and taxes. Three things tend to explain what you will see above.
The mailing city is not the market
A Decatur address can sit in unincorporated DeKalb County, with different schools and services. Published figures often blend the two.
Schools follow legal domicile
City Schools of Decatur serves residents living inside the city limits, and proof of residency is required at enrollment and again at certain grades.
Small samples swing
The city is small, so monthly medians can jump around. Comparable sales need to match jurisdiction, property type, age and condition.

Over the three months ending August 2026, the median sale price in Decatur was about $681K, and homes sold in a median of 36 days, based on Redfin data. Condition and location create a wide spread around that number, so I would look at recent sales on the streets you are considering.
