What a Free County Market Phase View Includes
If you only want a quick look at where prices have corrected the most, a free county view covers the essentials. It lists counties with the deepest price corrections and shows how they are classified. This page explains what that view contains, how to read it and what it does not try to show.
- The free view lists counties with the deepest price correction from their prior peak.
- Each entry shows a phase label, so you can see whether the decline is continuing or easing.
- It is a starting list for research and not a complete picture of any market.
- Figures refresh monthly and reflect the price index series assigned to each county.
The core list
The centerpiece is a ranking of counties by how far prices sit below their earlier highs. It answers a simple question: where have prices fallen furthest? Seeing the biggest drawdowns first gives a head start on identifying places that have already repriced, without sifting through thousands of rows to find them.
What each entry shows
For each county you can see its name, state, the size of the drawdown and the phase label assigned that month. The label tells you the direction of travel: still sliding, stabilizing, or turning. Together these items let you separate a county in the middle of a decline from one that has begun to heal. The state column also helps you notice regional clusters at a glance.
How to read it
Start with the drawdown, then check the phase. A deep drawdown with a recovery label is a different story from the same drawdown with a contraction label. Also note that neighbouring counties may share a price index, so a run of similar entries may reflect one series. Treat the order as a guide to curiosity.
What it does not try to do
The view is not a property search, a valuation or a forecast. It does not tell you whether a county is affordable, safe or in demand. Those questions need other information, such as incomes, supply and local conditions. It is intentionally a narrow, readable summary of price corrections rather than a full market analysis. It is no substitute for local research, but it does remove the guesswork about where to begin.
Keeping it current
Because classifications update monthly, rankings change. A county that sits near the top this month may fall away next month if prices recover, and new names may appear. The sensible habit is to revisit regularly and compare, noting counties that persist at the top, which is more telling than a single snapshot.
The latest reading
The June 2026 run covers 3,150 counties and shows Garland County, AR with the deepest drawdown at 9.5 percent.
