Jon's Current Read

Fontaine's numbers are driven by a small, fast-moving pool of sales. A median price of $90,000 paired with a median of $65.41 per square foot puts this community well below typical price points for the broader Lithonia market, and with only three closings in the window we are looking at a thin sample rather than a broad trend line. Condition and square footage on those few sales are likely doing most of the work in setting that median, more than any single market-wide shift.

An 11-day median days-on-market reads as quick, but with a closings count this low, that figure can swing hard on the next handful of contracts. For a seller, it suggests priced-right listings are moving without much sitting time. For a buyer, it means acting with a clear number in mind rather than assuming there is room to negotiate slowly, since there may not be many comparable listings to lean on for a counter-argument.

Fontaine right now

🟢 Buyer-leaning market. 28.0 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract give buyers above-average negotiating leverage.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of Georgia MLS records, as of September 20, 2026. Confidence: Medium (7 active and pending listings, 3 closed sales in 12 months).

🟢 Still climbing. The trailing-12-month median ($90K) is up 53.8% from the prior 12 months ($58K). With about 2 sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level Georgia MLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending September 20. Confidence: Low (3 and 4 sales in the two windows).

Best for

  • Buying at a lower price point with plans to renovate or improve the property over time.
  • Purchasing without a need for shared community amenities like a pool or clubhouse.
  • Moving decisively on a well-priced listing, given the market's quick recent turnover.

Probably not for

  • Needing a large set of recent comparable sales to validate a purchase price.
  • Looking for a community built around shared recreational amenities.
  • Wanting a slow, negotiation-heavy purchase process with room to test the market.

If we were buying in Fontaine today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.

1

Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.

2

Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.

3

Use your leverage. With inventory sitting, there is room to negotiate on anything dated or overpriced and to ask for repairs or a rate buydown.

4

Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.

5

Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Fontaine.

Best Buy
Buying a home priced at or near entry-level for the area, with flexibility on condition and scope of updates needed.
Biggest Risk
The thin closing count means the current median and DOM figures could shift quickly with the next few sales.
Sweet Spot
Buyers comfortable evaluating a property on its own merits rather than leaning on a deep set of recent comps.
Avoid If
You need a large, current comparable pool or built-in community amenities to justify the purchase.

A Thin Data Set, A Clear Price Point

The headline number here is affordability: a $65.41 per-square-foot median puts Fontaine at an entry-level price point relative to much of the surrounding area. With just three closings feeding that median, buyers and sellers should treat it as a directional signal rather than a precise valuation tool. One larger or smaller home selling in the next few weeks could move both the median price and the per-square-foot figure meaningfully.

No community amenities are identified in current MLS listings, so the value proposition here is the home and the price point itself, not a shared clubhouse, pool, or gated feature set. That keeps the buying decision straightforward: evaluate the individual property, its condition, and its price per square foot against what limited local comparables exist, rather than weighing in a lifestyle amenity package.

The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Fontaine. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Why work with Momentum here

When a community has only a handful of recent closings, the median price and days-on-market figures can be misleading if read at face value. We pull the underlying comparables property by property, so pricing a listing or structuring an offer here is based on the actual condition and size of what has sold, not a headline number built on three data points.
