November in Bonaire delivered exactly what we’ve come to expect from one of Houston County’s most desirable markets: strong buyer demand, higher price points, and a noticeable split between what homes are selling for and what sellers are listing at.
This month’s numbers show a familiar but important dynamic:
buyers are purchasing comfortably in the mid-to-upper $300s, while active listings are reaching into the high $300s and low $400s and sitting longer.

This SOLD vs ACTIVE gap is now shaping buyer behavior, seller strategy, and December expectations.

Here’s the full breakdown.

📊 November 2025 Snapshot

(Central Georgia MLS)
• 33 homes sold
• $11,737,790 in total sold volume
• Average Sold Price: $355,691
• Average Sold DOM: 49 days
Bonaire continues to be one of the highest-priced and strongest-performing markets in Middle Georgia — especially in neighborhoods between Highway 96 and Mossy Creek.

📌 Active Inventory Snapshot – Real-Time Market Pressure

Active inventory shows where buyers are making choices today and reveals the pricing environment heading into December.

As of the latest update, Bonaire, GA has:
• 78 active listings
• $30,661,346 in active volume
• Average Active Price: $393,094
• Median Active Price: $369,700
• Average Active DOM: 98 days

What this means for sellers:
• Active homes are priced nearly $40,000 above the average sold price.
• High DOM (98 days) shows buyers are resisting optimistic pricing.
• Homes priced above $425K face more competition and slower absorption.
• Updated, newer homes in the high-$300s and low-$400s still attract strong attention — when priced correctly.

What this means for buyers:
• Inventory depth gives you room to negotiate, especially on homes above the $400K line.
• Long DOM = motivated sellers.
• The strongest value sits between $330K and $390K, where most buyers are actually closing.
• Move-in-ready homes priced realistically still sell efficiently.

The pricing gap between sold averages and active averages is shaping the entire Bonaire, GA market at the end of 2025.
