Buckingham's pricing is doing what you'd expect from a smaller, quieter data set: the median sits at $266,600, with a per-square-foot read of $121.24 that tells you value here is largely a function of condition and size rather than a scarcity premium. This is not a market where a handful of renovated listings are pulling the average skyward — it reads as a straightforward, workhorse price point for Lithonia.
A median of 35 days on market is a moderate pace, not fast, not stagnant. That gives sellers room to price with intention rather than urgency, and it gives buyers enough runway to actually think through an offer instead of waving earnest money at the first showing. With the current snapshot built from seven recent closings, treat any single data point here as directional, not gospel, and lean on a current comparable pull before you commit to a number.
The 60-Second Overview
Buckingham market snapshot (as of September 1, 2026): the median sale price is about $267K ($121 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 35 days on market for closed sales.
Buckingham sits in Lithonia, DeKalb County, at a price point and per-square-foot level that puts it firmly in workaday-value territory rather than luxury or ultra-entry stock — the kind of community where the numbers do the talking more than any amenity list.

Who Buckingham is best for.
Best for
- Buying primarily on price-per-square-foot value within DeKalb County.
- Comfortable evaluating a home on its own merits without relying on a shared amenity package.
- Working with a moderate, 35-day pace that allows time to negotiate rather than compete in a bidding sprint.
Probably not for
- Wanting a community built around shared amenities like a pool, clubhouse, or organized common space.
- Needing a large, deep comparable set before pricing — the current closings sample is small.
- Looking for a premium or luxury price band; the current median points to a value-tier market.
The Buckingham buying strategy.
If we were buying in Buckingham 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.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
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 Buckingham.
What the numbers actually say
At $121.24 per square foot against a $266,600 median, Buckingham prices out as a value-oriented pocket of the DeKalb County market. That combination suggests homes here are competing more on interior condition, layout, and lot than on brand-name finishes or a premium location story — buyers get more house for the dollar, but should expect a range of update stages within that number rather than a uniform product.
No community amenities are identified in current MLS listings, which means Buckingham should be evaluated as a housing-stock play rather than a lifestyle-amenity purchase. That's not a knock — it just means the value proposition here is the home and the numbers, not a clubhouse or a gated entry, so due diligence should focus on the property itself and its immediate block.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Buckingham. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a community with a thin, seven-closing data set and no amenity package to lean on, the read on any single listing has to come from disciplined comparable work, not a headline median. We pull the current comps, walk the condition-driven price spread with you, and price or bid accordingly — so you are not anchoring to a stale number in a market this size.
