Inside the monthly issue

Everything the video had to leave out.

The monthly market update video runs about 40 minutes and still has to leave things out. The Report doesn't.

The number
The month’s headline figure, and two sentences on why it matters.
My read
Terence’s own take on the month, in about 150 words.
The tables
Every county, by type of home. The detail that doesn’t fit in a video.
Zip Watch
The zip codes where homes are selling fastest, and where they’re sitting.
What it takes to go under contract
How many showings it takes to sell, and the price cut that works.
The play
What to do with all of it if you’re buying, and if you’re selling.

What lands in your inbox

Three kinds of email. Nothing else.

The monthly numbers

Sent alongside the monthly market update video. The headline figure, the county tables, Zip Watch, and what to do about it.

The over-$1 million issue

The same treatment for homes over $1 million: who has the leverage at each price, and what sitting on the market cost sellers.

Field notes

Between the monthly issues: one story from a real deal, one chart, and one reader's question answered.

What you won't get: listings in your inbox, "now is a great time to buy," or a national headline without an Atlanta number behind it.
