Historical May 2026 archive.
A dated county pace comparison
In the May 2026 Redfin archive, median days on market ranged from 37 in Gwinnett County to 49 in Hall County. Redfin defines days on market as listing to contract, not closing.
That 12-day range compares broad counties with mixed cities and property types. It cannot support a Lake Lanier, luxury, city or neighborhood conclusion.
Price drops need a precise definition
The archive's price-drop share ranged from 31.1% in Fulton County to 35.3% in Forsyth County. Redfin counts reductions of at least 1% and no more than 50%.
A price-drop share is not a final-sale discount, seller concession or prediction of an individual negotiation.
The study keeps the metric definitions visible because similar-sounding market measures can answer different questions. Listing-to-contract pace is not closing pace, and a price-drop share is not a final sale-price discount.
The four counties also differ sharply in inventory scale: Fulton reported 5,597 homes and Hall 1,131. The count is not a quality ranking and does not turn the aggregate into a city-level or property-specific conclusion.
Use the archive as historical context
May 2026 is historical. Refresh active listings, pending evidence and relevant comparable transactions before relying on the result.
A strategic decision begins with a relevant competitive set, not an all-residential county average.
Forsyth's 35.3% price-drop share exceeded Fulton's 31.1% by 4.2 percentage points. Because the measure counts listed reductions, it cannot be translated into a likely final-price discount for a named property.

How we calculated it
Filter Redfin county archive to the exact Georgia county region, All Residential, 30-day period and not seasonally adjusted.
Use latest matching archive period: May 2026.
Compute median-DOM range as maximum minus minimum.
- Median DOM range: 49 days - 37 days = 12 days
- Price-drop-share range: 35.3% - 31.1% = 4.2 percentage points
