Like many industries, real estate sales in Buckhead ground to a halt in early 2020. Then, surprisingly, during the 2nd half of the year sales surged ahead as people invested in the place they were spending all of their time…home. 2020 was a crazy year in my industry and 2021 is shaping up to be almost as interesting.
Today we take a look back at the top 5 sales of 2020 in Buckhead. Congratulations to the buyers, sellers and real estate brokers who participated in what turned out to be a record year for the luxury real estate market in Buckhead!

Less than 24 hours after Buckheads current district 8 Atlanta City Councilman J.P. Matzigkeit announced he would not seek a 2nd term, Mary Norwood jumped in.
“I’m delighted to be running and I have always enjoyed being at City Hall, and I hope to go back.”, Mary told the AJC this week. This announcement signals that Mary will not be pursuing the Mayor’s office this time around, a race which she has narrowly lost twice.
Norwood has persistently pursued public office for decades. She previously served three terms on the Atlanta City Council and currently leads the Buckhead Council of Neighborhoods.
