Last 30 days in Bobbin Mill: 1 new listing (median asking $1,050,000). As of November 1, 2026, Listing data © 2026 Georgia MLS (GAMLS). Information is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed.
Bobbin Mill's numbers are being set by very few transactions, and that matters more than the headline figure. A median price of $1,187,000 against a median of just 3 closings in this window means each sale carries outsized weight on the stats. This is a market where one unusually finished or unusually dated property can move the median significantly.
At a per-square-foot median of $294.53 and days on market of 47, homes here are not moving fast, but they are also not sitting stale. That pace suggests buyers are taking real time to evaluate before committing at this price point, and sellers should expect a deliberate, not rushed, process.
Figures in this note are as of September 1, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

🟢 Buyer-leaning market. 12.0 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract give buyers above-average negotiating leverage.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of Georgia MLS records, as of September 20, 2026.

The 60-Second Overview
Bobbin Mill sits in Athens within Clarke County, a submarket where limited recent sales volume means pricing is best read as a directional signal rather than a fixed benchmark.
Georgia MLS sales records identify 16 homes in Bobbin Mill that have changed hands since 2023, built between 1922 and 2013 (median 1952), with a median living area of about 3,052 sq ft and a typical 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath layout; 100% are single-family homes. Source: Georgia MLS closed-sale history compiled by Momentum Research; counts reflect homes with a recorded MLS sale, not every home in the community. Georgia has no statewide parcel roll comparable to Florida’s DOR file, so ownership and homestead shares are not shown.

Who Bobbin Mill is best for.
Best for
- Buying at the higher end of the local price spectrum and comfortable with a limited comparable-sales set.
- Willing to spend 47 days or more evaluating a purchase before moving to offer.
- Selling a well-finished property and prepared to let the process play out over several weeks rather than expecting an immediate sale.
Probably not for
- Needing a rapid, high-inventory market with many active comparables to shop between.
- Working with a tight budget well below the area's $1,187,000 median.
- Expecting community amenities to be a selling point, since none are identified from current MLS listings.

The Bobbin Mill buying strategy.
If we were buying in Bobbin Mill today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Use your leverage. With inventory sitting, there is room to negotiate on anything dated or overpriced and to ask for repairs or a rate buydown.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Bobbin Mill.
A thin, high-value market
With only 3 closings in the current window, Bobbin Mill trades infrequently enough that any single listing can shift the median price and price-per-square-foot figures. Buyers should treat the $1,187,000 median as a reference point tied to whatever mix of homes recently sold, not a strict ceiling or floor for what comes next.
The median DOM of 47 days points to a market where offers are considered rather than snapped up, giving buyers room to do due diligence without feeling rushed, while sellers should price with an understanding that the audience for this price band is narrower and more deliberate.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Bobbin Mill. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a market this thin on transaction volume, interpreting the data correctly is the whole job. We track what's actually closing in Bobbin Mill, not just what's listed, so pricing conversations are grounded in real comparables rather than a stale median.

Athens-Clarke weighs raising downtown commercial building height limits
Planning staff proposed lifting the commercial-general limit from 65 to 95 feet and the downtown commercial limit from 100 to 130 feet, excluding parcels next to single-family areas. Commissioners asked for more time, raised fire-service staffing questions and floated a special use permit for added height. A related density-transfer vote is expected in spring 2027 and a West Broad Street apartment rezoning is set for Nov. 4.
What it may mean for the marketTaller allowed buildings could make more infill projects feasible downtown and change the scale of future housing and office supply in central Athens. The site is about 2 miles northeast of Bobbin Mill.

Planning Commission backs 181-unit apartment project west of downtown Athens
