Buyer window

3-month volume-weighted median $457,823 (-0.9% vs same 3 months last year) on 62 closings. Latest month is $480,000. Confidence: Moderate (62 closings in 3 months).

3-month $/SF is down 5.6% versus the same 3 months last year.

Months of supply60
5.9 months · 25% of the score

Active homes divided by last month’s closings. Under 4 favors sellers. Above 6 gives buyers more choices and more room.

YoY price44
-0.9% · 20% of the score

3-month volume-weighted median versus the same 3 months a year ago. One month cannot swing this. A rising median with falling $/SF is usually mix, not appreciation.

New / closed95
1.95 · 20% of the score

New listings in 30 days versus last month’s closings. Above 1.2 means inventory is building. That usually softens the next 30–90 days.

Pending / (active + under contract)83
0.19 · 15% of the score

Pending divided by active plus under contract. Not pending divided by active alone. Low means demand is not absorbing the stock.

Price reduced90
74% · 10% of the score

Share of recent closings that had already cut the list price. High means sellers are adjusting. That is where negotiation usually appears.

DOM trend90
+31.4% · 10% of the score

Direction of days on market over the last 6 months, not the current DOM. A low score here means DOM is falling, which favors sellers even if supply is high.

  • This is the market your home sits in. It is too broad to be your only comp, and too local to ignore.
  • City median is $480,000. Price your home off the neighborhood or school district, then check that it still makes sense against this number.
  • 5.9 months of supply. Median days on market 35. That is how long a correctly priced listing is taking.
  • If you are deciding whether to list, the useful question is what is for sale on your street and in your school district, not the citywide median. Homes for sale in Sugar Hill, GA →
