Douglas County currently leans toward buyers, with the market gauge at 63 and conditions softer than a balanced market. Months of supply sits at 5.1, slightly below Georgia’s 5.6, but listings are staying on the market a median of 67 days. Homes are closing at about 97 percent of their list price, and only about 13 percent are selling above list.
Typical home values in September were around $318,000, roughly flat year over year but up modestly from the prior month. The median list price has climbed more noticeably month over month, suggesting sellers are still testing higher price points even as conditions favor buyers. Inventory shows some mixed signals, with active listings down more than 11 percent from August but still up slightly compared with a year ago.
Buyer activity has cooled somewhat, with new listings down more than 22 percent from last month and nearly 22 percent lower than a year earlier, while pending sales also slipped month over month. Closings, however, held steady year over year, indicating that motivated buyers and sellers are still finding common ground. With homes taking over two months to sell on average and fewer properties attracting bidding wars than earlier in the year, thoughtful pricing and strategy matter on both sides of the table.
