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.

Softening

3-month volume-weighted median $417,490 (-10.1% vs same 3 months last year) on 30 closings. Latest month is $375,000. Confidence: Low (30 closings in 3 months).

3-month $/SF is up 3.6% versus the same 3 months last year. Median and $/SF are moving apart. That is usually a change in what sold, not pure appreciation or depreciation.

Months of supply80
7.1 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 price77
-10.1% · 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 / closed40
1.11 · 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)90
0.09 · 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 reduced51
33% · 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 trend33
-2.4% · 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.

Buyer-leaning

Loosening

More homes are coming on than are selling. If pendings do not pick up, sellers lose leverage.

If you own in Talking Rock

Moderate confidence. 96 closings in the last 12 months.

  • 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 $375,000. Price your home off the neighborhood or school zone, then check that it still makes sense against this number.
  • 7.1 months of supply. Median days on market 50. 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 Talking Rock, GA →

What this means if you are listing in Talking Rock

  • Price to the closed median and $/SF here ($375,000, $244), not the FMLS-wide number. This market is below the FMLS footprint by 5.1% on median.
  • With 7.1 months of supply, expect about 50 days on market if priced correctly. Longer than that usually means the market is telling you the price is high.
  • 66.7% of recent closings were below list and 33.3% of listings had already reduced. Concessions show up more on listings that have already sat.
  • Check live inventory for the actual competition before you set the number. Homes for sale in Talking Rock, GA →

What this means if you are making an offer

  • Supply is elevated. You have more room than in a seller’s market, especially on homes past 30 days.
  • Your better leverage is on homes that have been listed 30+ days or have already reduced. About 33.3% of recent closings had a price reduction.
  • Confirm the number against the neighborhood or ZIP page, not just the city or FMLS-wide median.
  • Closed prices lag 30–90 days. Confirm current supply on the inventory page before you assume the temperature has not shifted.
