How to read a neighborhood

A subdivision with a handful of sales a year cannot support the same report as a ZIP or a school. The numbers below are a trailing year, not a monthly market.

  • 19 homes closed here in the last 12 months. That is enough to sketch a price range.
  • Ignore a single month’s median. One luxury sale or one starter home moves it by six figures.
  • Price off Cartersville, then adjust for this subdivision’s size, age, and condition.
  • 2 homes are active right now. That live list is more useful than last month’s median. Homes for sale in The Waterford, Cartersville →

What this means if you are listing in The Waterford

  • Price to the 12-month median and $/SF ($606,526, $177), not last month and not the market-wide number. Then check it against Cartersville.
  • 2.0 months of supply on last month’s pace. Homes that sold in the last year took about 41 days. Longer than the 12-month DOM usually means the price is high.
  • 42.1% of the last 12 months’ closings were below list. 42.1% had already reduced. Read that as a year, not as last month’s three sales.
  • The live list is the competition. Homes for sale in The Waterford, Cartersville →

What this means if you are making an offer

  • Well-priced homes can still move. Your better leverage is on homes that have sat.
  • 42.1% of the last year’s closings had already reduced. That is where the negotiation is.
  • Do not use the market-wide median. Start with Cartersville, then this subdivision’s 12-month $/SF.
  • Last month had 1 closings. One sale does not make a market. Confirm on the live list. Homes for sale in The Waterford, Cartersville →
