Ellis is pricing as a higher-end pocket of Marietta right now, with a median close near $912,000 against a median price per square foot of $258.43. That spread between total price and per-foot cost points to larger, more finished homes carrying the median rather than a premium land or lot story — square footage is doing a lot of the work here.
A median of 27 days on market with 11 closings in the current window is a moderate, orderly pace — not a bidding-war environment, but not stale inventory either. Sellers priced in line with recent closings are moving in under a month; anything priced ahead of the market is likely to sit past that mark, which is useful leverage for a buyer willing to be patient.
The 60-Second Overview
Ellis market snapshot (as of September 1, 2026): the median sale price is about $912K ($258 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 27 days on market for closed sales.
Ellis sits in Cobb County within Marietta, trading at a median price point well above the broader county's typical resale figures, which puts it in a higher tier of the local market rather than an entry-level one.

Who Ellis is best for.
Best for
- Trading up to a larger home where price per square foot, not lot premium, is the main cost driver.
- Buying with a timeline flexible enough to work within a roughly month-long median market pace.
- Prioritizing the home itself and its location in Marietta over a built-in amenity package.
Probably not for
- Needing a defined slate of community amenities as part of the purchase decision.
- Working with a budget well under the community's $912,000 median price point.
- Wanting a large pool of recent comparable sales to benchmark an offer against.

The Ellis buying strategy.
If we were buying in Ellis 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 Ellis.
What the numbers are telling us
At $258.43 per square foot against a $912,000 median, Ellis reads as a market built on larger floor plans rather than premium-priced small footprints. Buyers comparing this community to others in Cobb County should look at total livable space and finish level first — the per-foot figure suggests the price is mostly a function of size and condition rather than a scarce-lot premium.
No community amenities are identified from current MLS listings, which means the value case here is the homes and the location within Marietta, not a clubhouse or shared recreation package. That's a meaningful distinction for anyone assuming an amenity fee is bundled into the price — confirm directly what, if anything, is attached to a given listing before assuming otherwise.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Ellis. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
With only 11 closings in the current window, Ellis is a thin enough dataset that pricing a home well — or evaluating whether an asking price is reasonable — takes a close read of recent comparables rather than a rule of thumb. We track the closings as they land and can walk a buyer or seller through what's actually supporting the current median before they commit to a number.
