Celesta's numbers point to a tight, fast-moving pocket of the Scottdale market. A median of just over 10 days on market means homes here are not sitting — pricing that reflects current condition and location tends to draw offers quickly, and sellers who overshoot risk losing that early-buyer momentum.
At a median price of $588,884 and roughly $260 per square foot, this is a mid-to-upper price point for the immediate area, so the math has to work on a per-square-foot basis as much as on the headline number. With no defined amenity package showing up in current listings, value here is being driven by the home itself and its DeKalb County location rather than by shared community features.
The 60-Second Overview
Celesta market snapshot (as of September 1, 2026): the median sale price is about $589K ($260 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 11 days on market for closed sales.
Celesta sits in Scottdale within DeKalb County, and the current MLS picture shows a small, quick-turning set of listings rather than a high-volume subdivision — worth knowing before you calibrate expectations on selection or timeline.

Who Celesta is best for.
Best for

- Comparing DeKalb County price-per-square-foot data closely and wanting a benchmark to negotiate against.
Probably not for

- Specifically seeking a community with defined shared amenities like a pool, clubhouse, or gated entry.
- Wanting a large inventory of active listings to compare side by side before choosing.

The Celesta buying strategy.
If we were buying in Celesta 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 Celesta.
What the numbers are actually saying
With a median days-on-market of 10.5 across the tracked closings window, Celesta is behaving like a seller-favorable environment right now — homes priced in line with the market are not lingering. That is useful information for buyers: decisions need to be made quickly once a listing looks right, because a slow, deliberative offer process risks losing the property.
The median price of $588,884 and price-per-square-foot of $260.37 give a workable benchmark, but with only a handful of closings feeding this snapshot, treat both figures as a starting point for comparison rather than a hard ceiling or floor. No community amenities are identified from current MLS listings, so this is a market defined by the individual homes on the ground, not by a shared clubhouse, pool, or gate.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Celesta. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
