Over the 12 months ending 2026-09-20, 4 recorded sales closed at a median of $349,000, $165 per square foot, a median 21 days on market, sellers accepting 96% of original asking. Homes listed or recently sold were built 1999–2001; none of the 4 geocoded homes sit in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 930 ft). At the median price and Cobb County's 2025 rate of 27.16 mills, annual property tax runs about $3,790.
Running Creek is trading with a median price of $368,000 and a median price per square foot of $165.38, against a median of 17 days on market. With only five closings in the current window, that pricing picture is a snapshot, not a trend line — a couple of sales at either end of the condition spectrum can move the median more than they would in a larger pool of comparables.
The 17-day median suggests homes priced to current condition are moving without much delay, which points to a market where sellers should price to the data rather than to hope, and buyers should expect to compete if a listing looks clean and is priced near or under the per-square-foot median.
Figures in this note are as of September 1, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

Georgia has no statewide parcel roll comparable to Florida’s DOR file, so ownership and homestead shares are not shown.
Running Creek sits in Powder Springs within Cobb County, with recent MLS activity showing a tight window of closings that keeps the pricing data useful but thin — worth reading as a directional signal rather than a fixed range.

Who Running Creek is best for.
Best for
- Buying a home based on its own condition and layout rather than a community amenity package.
- Moving with some pricing flexibility, since a thin closings sample means less certainty on exact market value.
- Selling a well-priced, move-in-ready home into a market where a 17-day median suggests reasonably fast interest.
Probably not for
- Needing a shared pool, clubhouse, or similar amenity as part of the purchase decision.
- Requiring a large set of recent comparable sales to validate a price before committing.
- Pricing a listing well above the per-square-foot median without a clear, condition-based justification.

The Running Creek buying strategy.
If we were buying in Running Creek 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 Running Creek.
Reading a Thin Data Set Correctly
Five closings in the tracked window is enough to establish a median but not enough to draw firm conclusions about spread or seasonality. The $165.38 per-square-foot figure is the more durable number here, since it normalizes for size differences between the specific homes that sold — useful for sanity-checking a listing price against recent activity rather than assuming every home in the community carries the same value per square foot.
No community amenities are identified from current MLS listings, which means value in Running Creek is being driven by the homes themselves — lot, layout, condition, updates — rather than by a shared clubhouse, pool, or similar feature. That is a meaningful distinction for anyone comparing this community to others in Cobb County that market lifestyle amenities as part of the price.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Running Creek. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
With only five recent closings feeding the market data, interpreting Running Creek correctly means knowing which of those sales are truly comparable to a specific property and which are outliers skewing the median. We walk buyers and sellers through that distinction line by line rather than handing over a number and calling it done.

Recent Developments in Running Creek
Development, infrastructure, retail, and school activity affecting Running Creek, tracked by our team and summarized from public reporting and official sources, with links to the original coverage. Last updated November 2026.
- October 2026Civic
Cobb commissioners allow accessory dwelling units and adopt data center standards
The Cobb Board of Commissioners voted 3-2 to allow accessory dwelling units by special land use permit, capped at 850 square feet and half the main home's floor area. The board also adopted a data center definition with 300-foot setbacks from residential, church and school property lines and noise limits of 65 decibels by day and 55 at night. The action follows a six-month data center moratorium that was extended in August.
What it may mean for the marketBackyard units add a new, case-by-case path for small rental or multigenerational-use housing in Cobb, while the setback and noise rules shape where large data center campuses can locate relative to existing neighborhoods. The site is about 12 miles northeast of Running Creek.

Cobb sets 50 units per acre cap and bedroom-based counting for student housing
Cobb commissioners voted 3-2 to count density at student housing developments by bedroom, with two bedrooms equal to one dwelling unit, and to cap it at 50 units per acre, or about 100 bedrooms per acre. Such projects still need a special land use permit and a public hearing. Earlier drafts proposed 60 units per acre, and two commissioners sought 30.
What it may mean for the marketA defined density ceiling gives developers of purpose-built student housing near Cobb campuses a clearer standard and affects how much of this housing type can be added per site. The project is about 12 miles northeast of Running Creek, elsewhere in Cobb County.

What it may mean for the marketAnother sit-down dining option on the Square adds to the walkable restaurant mix and keeps a prominent corner building in use. The project is about 12 miles northeast of Running Creek, elsewhere in Cobb County.

Cobb commissioners approve CobbLinc Go microtransit expansion to Acworth and Kennesaw
Cobb County commissioners voted 3-2 to expand the on-demand CobbLinc Go pilot, which has run for two years in south Cobb, to Acworth and Kennesaw. The county DOT expects about 90 percent of funding to come from a trust and grants, and service is planned for October.
What it may mean for the marketOn-demand rides in northwest Cobb would add a low-cost transit option for trips to jobs, shopping and rail or bus connections for residents without a car. The project is about 12 miles northeast of Running Creek, elsewhere in Cobb County.
