Homes for Sale in Marietta, GA
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Photo via Georgia MLS
Penhurst is trading at a median of $985,000 with a median price per square foot of $266.59, and the current read is built on a small set of recent closings — five sales in this window. That is enough to see a pattern, not enough to call it a statistical certainty, so treat the figures as directional rather than fixed.
The signal that stands out is speed: a median of just 5 days on market. Homes that come to market priced correctly in Penhurst are not sitting. For a seller, that argues for pricing tight to recent comps rather than testing the top. For a buyer, it means having financing and decision-making ready before you tour, because a slow offer process is likely to lose out here.

Who Penhurst is best for.
Best for
- Moving decisively once a home is listed, since the pace here has been running around five days to contract.
- Buying in a higher price tier and comfortable evaluating each home on its own merits rather than against a large comp set.
- Prioritizing the home and location itself over a defined community amenity package, since none is currently identified in MLS listings.
Probably not for
- Needing a wide, well-established price range to benchmark an offer, given the limited number of recent closings.
- Wanting a slower, more deliberate shopping timeline with room to negotiate over weeks.
- Prioritizing a specific shared amenity, such as a pool or clubhouse, as a deciding factor.

The Penhurst buying strategy.
If we were buying in Penhurst 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 Penhurst.
A tight, fast-moving market
At a median of $985,000 and $266.59 per square foot, Penhurst sits at the upper end of what the surrounding market supports. With only five closings in the current window, this is not a high-volume community — it is one where each sale carries more weight in shaping the median, and where a single unusual transaction can shift the numbers more than it would in a larger dataset.
The five-day median days-on-market is the more telling figure of the two. It suggests that well-presented homes are being absorbed quickly rather than lingering for negotiation. There is no amenities package identified from current MLS listings for Penhurst, so buyers should treat the appeal here as tied to the homes and location themselves rather than to a clubhouse, pool, or other shared facility — worth confirming directly if a specific amenity matters to your search.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Penhurst. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
