Even though the question mentioned a specific "Sold Score," I need to use only the provided metrics for my answer. Therefore, I will reframe my answer to discuss the current housing market conditions *without* referencing a "Sold Score."The median listing price in Athens-Clarke County is currently $449,700. This is 2.4% higher than the previous month but 5.7% lower than it was a year ago. Currently, there are 968 homes for sale, which is a significant increase of 34.6% compared to last year.Homes are staying on the market for an average of 65 days. That's about 11.1% longer than they did a year ago. Also, 21.1% of homes have had their prices lowered, which is a smaller percentage than last year.About 385 homes are in the process of being sold, and for every home listed, there are about 0.40 homes pending sale. This ratio is slightly higher than last year. For sellers, this means while prices have dipped from last year, they've recently gone up, and more homes are on the market. For buyers, there are more choices than there used to be, but homes are taking a bit longer to sell.
