Lake Arrowhead market report
Neighborhood series. Most months are too thin for a median. 109 closings in the last 12 months. Use Waleska as the pricing context.
Closed sales through 2026-10. Live inventory is a current snapshot, not the closed month. 90 active · 2 under contract · 10 pending. Total residential listings by status: 102.
Data confidence: High. 109 closings in the last 12 months. Enough closings to read a trend.
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.
- 109 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 Waleska, then adjust for this subdivision’s size, age, and condition.
- 90 homes are active right now. That live list is more useful than last month’s median. Homes for sale in Lake Arrowhead, Waleska →
Versus the broader market
Latest closed month only, not the 12-month figure above. The Georgia footprint is the macro context.
22.5 months of supply on last month’s pace (90 active ÷ 4 closings). 9.9 months on the trailing-12 pace (average 9 closings a month). These are different windows.Buyers have more room, especially on homes that have sat past 30 days. 75.0% of last month’s closings were below list. Days on market are up 263% from a year ago.
How homes actually closed
Based on 4 closings. One sale moves these percentages by 25 points. Read the direction, not the exact share.
Leading signals
These move before closed prices. Use them to see if the next 30–60 days look tighter or looser than last month’s closings.
New listings are outpacing sales and closed sales are already taking longer or reducing more. Expect more inventory and more negotiating room over the next 30–90 days.
