The number that matters most here is the median price per square foot, $197.37, paired with a median price of $195,000 — the math points to compact units rather than a discount on a full-size home. This is a small, tightly priced corner of the Decatur market, and with only three closings in the current window, any single sale can move the median meaningfully. Treat these figures as directional, not as a settled price curve.
A median days-on-market of 106 tells the real story of current posture: this is not a market where units move quickly. For a seller, that means pricing has to be sharp from day one rather than tested upward. For a buyer, it means there is room to negotiate on terms, timeline, or condition allowances rather than competing against multiple offers.
The 60-Second Overview
Decatur Square market snapshot (as of September 1, 2026): the median sale price is about $195K ($197 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 106 days on market for closed sales.
Decatur Square sits in the DeKalb County market with pricing built around a compact per-square-foot rate rather than a large footprint, and current MLS listings show no community amenities identified — so any amenity questions should be confirmed unit by unit rather than assumed.

The Decatur Square buying strategy.
If we were buying in Decatur Square 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 Decatur Square.
A thin data set, a real price signal
With just three closings feeding the current snapshot, Decatur Square's median price of $195,000 should be read as a starting reference point, not a ceiling or a floor. The $197.37 per-square-foot figure is the more stable of the two numbers precisely because it normalizes for unit size, and it suggests the community is priced in line with compact, in-town product rather than larger detached homes.
The 106-day median days-on-market is the number that should shape any offer strategy. That is a slower pace than a market absorbing inventory quickly, and it usually means sellers who are still active at this point are either firm on price or working through condition issues that are keeping buyers cautious. Either way, it argues for a buyer to do full diligence on condition rather than assume urgency.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Decatur Square. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

We pull the underlying listing history, not just the headline median, so an offer or a list price is grounded in what actually happened on comparable units, not a rounded average.
