Opportunity score
0–100. Higher means more room for a buyer right now. Price change uses the 3-month median, not one month. Each part is scored 0–100, then weighted. Includes live supply and demand. Screening tool, not a forecast.
3-month volume-weighted median $468,586 (-9.1% vs same 3 months last year) on 87 closings. Latest month is $405,000. Confidence: Moderate (87 closings in 3 months).
3-month $/SF is down 2.6% versus the same 3 months last year.
Active homes divided by last month’s closings. Under 4 favors sellers. Above 6 gives buyers more choices and more room.
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 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 divided by active plus under contract. Not pending divided by active alone. Low means demand is not absorbing the stock.
Share of recent closings that had already cut the list price. High means sellers are adjusting. That is where negotiation usually appears.
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.
5.6 months of supply on last month’s pace (163 active ÷ 29 closings). 6.2 months on the trailing-12 pace (average 27 closings a month). These are different windows.Balanced. Buyers have choices; well-priced homes still close close to list. 51.7% of last month’s closings were below list. Days on market are up 69% from a year ago.

- 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 $405,000. Price your home off the neighborhood or school zone, then check that it still makes sense against this number.
- 5.6 months of supply. Median days on market 49. 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 zone, not the citywide median. Homes for sale in Ball Ground, GA →
