Fewest New Listings Since March, Highest Median Ask: The 15–21 August Window
Georgia's 15–21 August window brought the fewest new car listings since March and the highest median ask, $14,300.
Calendar-equal 15–21 windows, March–August
Listings dated the 15th–21st of each month. August's window is complete; prices are advertised asking prices.
A thinner week
Counting the same calendar days of each month (15th through 21st) keeps the windows
comparable. On that basis, new-listing flow has now fallen for a second consecutive window:
2,128 in the May window, 1,740 in June, 1,627 in July, and 1,428 in August —
below even the March window (1,469) that opened the series. The decline is a market
fact within the calendar-equal series.

Budget and premium share of window flow
Under-$10,000 share (series low in August) against $25,000-plus share (series high).
But a pricier one
The median asking price moved the other way. It had drifted between **$13,500 and
$14,000 from March through July; in the 15–21 August window it reached $14,300** —
the highest of the six windows. The price-band mix tells the same story from both ends:
- Listings under $10,000 fell to 26.9% of the window (July: 33.8%) — the lowest
budget share of the series, which had ranged 29.5–33.8%.
- Listings at $25,000 and above rose to 23.2% (July: 20.8%) — the highest
premium share of the series.
Fewer listings appeared, and those listings skewed visibly upmarket.

The uncleared share loosened slightly
Of the window's new listings, 54.2% were still awaiting customs clearance — the
lowest uncleared share of the six windows (the series ran 54.2–60.5%). The uncleared
share and budget share both fell in this window, two parallel shifts in the advertised
mix.
The window's median car is a 2020 model with 87,000 km on the odometer — the
youngest and lowest-mileage median of the series (March: 2019, 90,000 km).
The stock behind the flow
The total advertised stock on 23 August stood at 15,781 advertised car listings with a
median ask of $14,000; 57.2% of that stock still awaits customs clearance. The
advertised stock remains steady alongside the thinner flow; two falling windows
in a row make the 22–28 window the one to watch.
Reading the figures
The prices are advertised asking prices, while the window counts new advertisements.
The calendar-equal construction keeps weekday composition consistent across months,
making the six windows directly comparable.
