That depth comes from walking through comparable homes as they list and sell, not from reading a monthly report after the fact. An agent who has seen the inside of twenty homes on a given street knows the difference a finished basement or an updated kitchen actually makes there, which a spreadsheet cannot show.
It also means understanding the current supply picture. With 1.63 months of supply in August 2026, an agent who tracks that number month to month can tell a seller whether now is a moment to move quickly or wait a season.
