Why the model sees it this way
Sialim's model forecasts the typical Augusta home value will rise 0.2% in September 2026, from $252,841 to about $253,321. The 80% confidence range runs from $253,083 to $253,627.
Prices have been close to flat over the past three months (+0.04% per month on average), and the market is up 2.9% from a year ago.
The 30-year mortgage rate sits near 6.7% (restrictive for affordability); for-sale inventory is up 17% year over year, which adds downward pressure on prices; national unemployment is 4.1%. These conditions feed into this metro's forecast, since the macro-augmented model beat the price-only model in backtesting here.
Over the most recent six-month test window, this model's predictions for Augusta were off by 0.6% on average. Smaller is better; anything under 1% is strong for monthly home values.
