How to read these Powder Springs numbers

  • Typical home value is the value of a mid-tier home — a steadier signal than a single month's sales.
  • Days to pending is how fast homes go under contract. Fewer days favors sellers; more days gives a flipper room to negotiate.
  • Listings with a price cut flags softening — more cuts can mean more motivated sellers.
  • Capitalization rate (cap rate) is annual Net Operating Income (NOI) divided by price — an unlevered yardstick for rentals. A full Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) refines it with real comparable rents.
