What counts as luxury real estate in Georgia
The convention this site uses
In Georgia, this site treats homes at $1M and above as luxury. That is our own fixed band, set so the covered markets are the ones where the top of the market actually trades at that level. It is not a loan limit and it is not a median; the medians below are the middle of each market, and luxury inventory trades well above them. The rule and its reasoning are on the methodology page.

What changes at this price in Georgia
Each fact links to the statute or agency that says so. Facts we could not verify against an official source are left out rather than guessed.
- Transfer and mansion taxes
- Georgia's real estate transfer tax is $1.00 for the first $1,000 of price plus $0.10 for each additional $100, which works out to 0.1 percent, and it is customarily paid by the seller. Source
- Agency and dual agency
- Georgia permits dual agency and designated agency only with the written consent of both parties under the Brokerage Relationships in Real Estate Transactions Act. Source
- Seller disclosure
- Georgia has no statutory seller disclosure form. Sellers must disclose known latent defects that a buyer could not discover through reasonable inspection, and the Georgia Association of REALTORS Seller's Property Disclosure Statement is customary. Source
- State estate or inheritance tax
- Georgia levies no state estate tax and no inheritance tax, so only the federal estate tax applies to a large estate. Source
