The numbers that decide whether the deal still works

A property that penciled in March may not pencil now. We track the input costs, rents, vacancy and lending conditions that move underwriting in Georgia, publish the movement with the source named, and say what it means rather than leaving you a chart.

Method

How the pricing data is handled

Every observation records the reporting period it covers, the previous value, and the source URL. Percentage change and direction are derived by the database from the values themselves, so a typo in a hand-entered change figure is not possible — there is no hand-entered change figure.

Where an indicator is a composite or a regional proxy rather than a Georgia-specific series, the scope field says so. We would rather publish an honest proxy labelled as one than imply a precision the underlying data does not have.
