Why the model sees it this way

Sialim's model forecasts the typical Garden City home value will hold near flat in July 2026, from $235,423 to about $235,096. The 80% confidence range runs from $234,816 to $235,421.

Prices have been slipping, down an average of 0.24% per month over the past three months, and the market is down 0.8% from a year ago.

The 30-year mortgage rate sits near 6.5% (elevated for affordability); for-sale inventory is up 17% year over year, which adds downward pressure on prices; national unemployment is 4.2%. 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 Garden City were off by 0.8% on average. Smaller is better; anything under 1% is strong for monthly home values.
