How the numbers are calculated
Median sale price is the middle closing price, with no sales trimmed as outliers. Months of supply divides the homes listed for sale on October 12, 2026 by the average monthly sales of the past 12 months. Georgia MLS does not include homes sold only through other MLSs, so counts are lower than the whole market and coverage differs by county.
