Homes for Sale in Locust Grove, GA
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Over the 12 months ending 2026-09-03, 17 recorded sales closed at a median of $379,990, $132 per square foot, a median 31 days on market, sellers accepting 99% of original asking (-9% versus the prior year). At the median price and Henry County's 2025 rate of 28.84 mills, annual property tax runs about $4,380.
River Oaks in Locust Grove is pricing around $379,990 at the median, which works out to roughly $131.92 a square foot. That per-foot number is on the modest side, which tells me condition and finish level are doing a lot of the work in what a given listing commands rather than any single standout feature pulling values up.
A median of 31 days on market with 17 closings in the recent window points to a steady, unhurried pace rather than a bidding-war environment. Sellers here should price close to where recent comparable closings landed rather than testing the market, and buyers have some room to negotiate on condition or terms without needing to move at the first showing.

Who River Oaks is best for.
Best for
- Prioritizing the home and lot over a shared amenity package.
- Comparing price per square foot closely against a home's actual condition before making an offer.
- Working on a timeline that allows for a measured search rather than a fast, competitive close.
Probably not for
- Requiring a community with an established pool, clubhouse, or organized common amenities.
- Needing a strictly consistent per-square-foot price across every listing in the community.
- Expecting a fast-turnover market with heavy competition on every listing.
The River Oaks buying strategy.
If we were buying in River Oaks 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 River Oaks.
What the numbers are saying
The $131.92 per-square-foot median is the most telling figure in this snapshot. It is a number that leaves a wide range of outcomes depending on a home's age, updates, and layout, which means two listings at similar square footage can land at noticeably different prices once condition is factored in. Buyers comparing homes here should weigh price per square foot alongside the actual state of the interior rather than assuming a flat per-foot rate across the community.
No community amenities are currently identified from active MLS listings, so whatever value River Oaks offers is coming from the homes and their location in Locust Grove rather than from a clubhouse, pool, or shared recreation package. That is worth knowing going in: this is a place to evaluate on the merits of the individual house and lot, not on a shared amenity package.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in River Oaks. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
