The data shows early warning signs in Germantown — the reading is WATCH, with at least one signal past its danger line. Not a crisis, but turns start this way months before prices move; if selling is on your mind, watch closely.
Three signals drawn from licensed market statistics, each with a danger line recalibrated for active-listing data: the year-over-year price trend (−2%), how long listed homes have been on the market (+10% year over year), and the number of homes for sale (+30% year over year). A ZIP crossing enough of them reads WATCH or ACT; a clean ZIP reads HOLD. See the full explanation of each dial, including the exact math and what goes into it.
