Highland Trace
Homes for Sale in Marietta, GA
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.

Highland Trace is pricing around a $302,500 median, with per-square-foot value near $160.26 — a level that reads as attainable relative to a lot of Cobb County inventory right now. This snapshot is built from a small run of six recent closings, so treat any single data point here as a signal rather than a settled trend, and expect the next few sales to move these numbers.
At a median 17.5 days on market, homes here are not lingering. That pace tells sellers they can price close to recent comps with reasonable confidence, and it tells buyers that hesitating on a well-priced, well-kept listing usually costs them the showing. With no community amenities showing up in current MLS data, the value proposition here is the home and the location, not a clubhouse or pool package.
The 60-Second Overview
Highland Trace market snapshot (as of September 1, 2026): the median sale price is about $302K ($160 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 18 days on market for closed sales.
Highland Trace sits in Marietta within Cobb County, trading as a straightforward resale market rather than an amenity-driven community — pricing and pace here are set by the homes themselves.

Who Highland Trace is best for.
Best for
- Targeting a Cobb County home near a $302,500 median without a premium amenity package.
- Moving quickly on offers, given a median of just under 18 days on market.
- Comparing per-square-foot value across a moderate-condition resale market.
Probably not for
- Wanting a clubhouse, pool, or organized community amenities as part of the purchase.
- Needing a large historical sales sample before committing to a price strategy.
- Expecting to negotiate a slow, sit-on-the-market timeline given current pace.
The Highland Trace buying strategy.
If we were buying in Highland Trace 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 Highland Trace.
What the numbers actually say
A $160.26 per-square-foot median next to a $302,500 median price suggests homes here trend toward moderate size and condition rather than large-format or heavily upgraded product. Buyers should expect the usual spread that comes with any resale stock — some homes will be updated and priced to it, others will need work and should be priced accordingly. Because this read is drawn from just six closings, it is a directional guide for setting expectations, not a fixed ceiling or floor.
The 17.5-day median days-on-market points to a market where reasonably priced, presentable listings are getting absorbed quickly. That is useful information for sequencing a purchase or a sale: sellers should expect early activity if priced to the comps, and buyers should be prepared to move on inspections and offers without much delay once they find a listing that fits.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Highland Trace. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
