How the momentum score breaks down
methodology →Liberty Hill has held up across the cycle: home values at $495,677 with +2.0% 5-year CAGR. The bull case is structural — population, location, employer base — and holds even if next year's print is soft.
Liberty Hill has given back 23% from its 5-year peak — that's not a healthy correction, it's a market still digesting an overshoot. The bear case is that the floor hasn't been found yet.
