According to a report compiled by data from the American Housing Survey, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the U.S. Census Bureau, the median price for homes in the metro Atlanta area sold for $149,000 in 2011. The median price for new construction, or homes built within 4 years of survey data compilation was higher, at $235,000. The Atlanta movers were curious at how that compared with the rest of the nation, and apparently the national homeowner median price was $110,000, and for luxury homes it was $235,000.

Further in the report, there are other Atlanta fees that have been outlined, such as real estate taxes for metro Atlanta, which were at a median of $142, and electricity/utility costs which had a median of $158, and last property insurance which had a median of $55. National rates for the same areas across the country were at medians of $151, $121, and $58 comparatively.
