This analysis is based on home sales recorded in Cobb County public records during May 2026. Only arms-length transactions were included. Sales flagged as non-arms-length (foreclosures, bank sales, intra-family transfers, and deed corrections) were excluded. Investor classification used buyer name matching: purchases by LLCs, corporations, trusts, and addresses outside Georgia were classified as investor activity. This methodology follows the same approach used in Atlanta Home Network's prior monthly reports for Cobb County.
