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.
The 60-Second Overview
Fontaine market snapshot (as of September 1, 2026): the median sale price is about $90K ($65 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 11 days on market for closed sales.
Fontaine sits in Lithonia, DeKalb County, with a current median sale price of $90,000 and a median price per square foot of $65.41 — figures shaped by a small recent closing count rather than a deep, established trend.

The Fontaine buying strategy.
If we were buying in Fontaine today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
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.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
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.
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.
