What this means for you

A real take on the August 2026 Buford numbers.

For buyers

The market has shifted in your favor. Median days on market jumped from 25 to 36 this month, a 44 percent climb that means homes are sitting longer and sellers are feeling it. The sold-to-list ratio stayed tight at 98 percent, so you're still paying close to asking, but that extra week or two gives you room to schedule a second showing, compare options, and think it through without the adrenaline. Months of supply hit 5.5, up 30 percent from last August. That's balanced territory, which means you don't face a feeding frenzy and sellers don't hold all the cards. The median sold price dropped 3.3 percent month over month to $468,700. Prices aren't collapsing, but the trajectory is sideways to slightly down, and that's better than racing a rising market.

For sellers

Homes are taking longer to sell and you need to adjust expectations accordingly. Days on market jumped 44 percent in a single month to 36 days, and months of supply climbed to 5.5, up 30 percent year over year. That's a balanced market, which means buyers have choices and you don't get the urgency you might have seen a year ago. Median sold price dropped 3.3 percent month over month to $468,700. The sold-to-list ratio held at 98 percent, so serious buyers are still making reasonable offers, but they're not bidding over ask and they're taking their time. Price it right from day one, keep the house show-ready, and expect to wait a month or a bit more. Overpricing and hoping someone bites will cost you weeks and a price cut later.
