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 $417,851 (+9.2% vs same 3 months last year) on 47 closings. Latest month is $338,000. Confidence: Low (47 closings in 3 months).

3-month $/SF is down 3.8% 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 supply95
12.5 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 price8
+9.2% · 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
4.00 · 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
0.07 · 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 reduced58
36% · 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 trend20
-26.8% · 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.

  • The county is context, not a price for your house. A county median blends starter homes and estates.
  • County median is $338,000. Use your city, school zone, or subdivision for the number. Use the county to see if the broader market is tightening or loosening.
  • 12.5 months of supply countywide, 7.7 on the trailing-12 pace. The heading is softening. That tells you about leverage, not your home’s value.
  • Before you list or refinance against a number, pull the city and neighborhood pages and the live inventory. Homes for sale in Habersham County, GA →

What this means if you are listing in Habersham

  • Price to the closed median and $/SF here ($338,000, $156), not the FMLS-wide number. This market is below the FMLS footprint by 14.4% on median.
  • With 12.5 months of supply, expect about 41 days on market if priced correctly. Longer than that usually means the market is telling you the price is high.
  • 54.5% of recent closings were below list and 36.4% 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 Habersham County, 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 36.4% of recent closings had a price reduction.
  • This micro-market diverges from the FMLS footprint by 14%. Do not use the statewide median as your comp base.
  • Closed prices lag 30–90 days. Confirm current supply on the inventory page before you assume the temperature has not shifted.
