Forsyth County, NC Real Estate Update – July 2026
July continued to show a clear shift in the Forsyth County market: more homes, more choices for buyers, and more pressure on sellers to price competitively.

More Homes. More Competition.
Inventory reached 1,273 homes, up 32.1% from July 2025. Months of supply increased to 3.7 months, compared to 2.7 months a year ago. For buyers, that means more options. For sellers, it means more competition.

Buyers Are Taking Their Time
Pending sales were down 20.5% from last July, while homes took an average of 39 days to sell, up from 37 days last year. Buyers are still out there, but they're being more selective and taking longer to make decisions.

Pricing Matters More Than Ever
The average sales price was $396,781, up 4.7% from last July. However, the year-to-date average is up just 1.3%. At the same time, we're seeing many more price reductions as sellers compete for buyers' attention. Homes that are priced correctly from the start are putting themselves in a much stronger position to sell.

What Does This Mean for You?
The market is more balanced and increasingly buyer-friendly. Buyers have more choices and negotiating power, while sellers need to be strategic with pricing and presentation.

For both buyers and sellers, knowing the market you're walking into is more important than ever.

Forsyth County, NC Real Estate Update – June 2026

June brought more of what we've been seeing this year: more homes hitting the market, buyers taking their time, and pricing becoming even more important. Sellers can still be successful, but today's market requires a different strategy than it did just a couple of years ago.

Inventory Continues to Grow
Inventory increased to 1,238 homes for sale, up nearly 32% compared to this time last year. Months of supply also increased to 3.6 months, giving buyers more options and creating more competition among sellers.

Buyers Are Still Taking Their Time
Pending sales were down 20.6% compared to June 2025, while closed sales declined 12.7%. Buyers are still out there, but they're taking more time, comparing more homes, and being more selective before making an offer.

Pricing Is Becoming More Important
The median sales price came in at $325,000, down 6.5% from last June. While one month doesn't make a trend, it does reinforce what we're seeing in today's market. Homes that are priced realistically from the start are putting themselves in the best position to sell, while overpriced homes are sitting longer and seeing more price reductions.

What Does This Mean for You?
The market isn't bad—it's just different. Buyers have more choices and a little more leverage than they've had in the past, while sellers need to be a little more strategic than they did a few years ago. Whether you're thinking about buying or selling, understanding today's market is the key to making the right move.

Forsyth County, NC Real Estate Update – May 2026

May continued the trend we've been seeing over the past several months as the market is in a more balanced environment. Inventory continues to grow, buyers have more choices, and homes are generally taking longer to sell than they were a year ago.

Inventory Continues to Climb
Inventory increased to 1,209 homes for sale in May, up more than 35% compared to this time last year. Months of supply also rose to 3.5 months, giving buyers more options and creating more competition among sellers.

Buyers Are Being More Selective
Pending sales were down 31.7% compared to May 2025, showing that buyer activity remains slower than what we've seen over the past few years. Buyers are still out there, but they're taking more time, comparing more options, and being more selective before making a move.

The Affordability Gap Is Creating More Price Adjustments
Average days on market increased to 44 days, up 33% from last year. One trend I'm seeing is a growing disconnect between affordability and seller expectations. Many homeowners are still looking at values from the peak of the market, while today's buyers are dealing with higher interest rates and monthly payments. As a result, we're seeing more price reductions as sellers adjust to what buyers can realistically afford.

Home Values Remain Stable
The median sales price came in at $323,500, essentially unchanged from a year ago. While some homes require price adjustments, well-priced properties in desirable areas are still attracting attention and selling close to their asking price.

What This Means for Sellers
The market is still healthy, but pricing correctly from the start is becoming more important than ever. Buyers have more options today than they've had in quite some time, and homes that are priced competitively and marketed well are putting themselves in the best position to succeed.

Forsyth County, NC Real Estate Update – April 2026

April continued the shift toward a more balanced market across Forsyth County. Inventory kept rising, buyers had more options, and homes generally took longer to sell compared to last year.

Inventory Continues to Grow
Inventory climbed to 1,168 homes for sale in April, up nearly 35% year-over-year. Months of supply also increased to 3.4 months, giving buyers more choices and creating more competition for sellers.

Prices Still Holding Strong
The average sales price for single-family homes rose to $399,155 in April, up almost 10% from last year. Well-priced and well-presented homes are still selling, especially in desirable areas and price points.

More Price Reductions Showing Up
Average days on market increased to 54 days in April. As homes sit longer and buyers become more selective, we’re seeing more price reductions from sellers who may have started too high.

Buyer Activity Still Slower
Pending sales were down 27.5% compared to last April, showing buyers are still moving cautiously despite more inventory hitting the market.

Overall, the market continues moving toward a healthier balance. Sellers can still do very well, but pricing correctly from the start is becoming more important as buyers gain more options.

Forsyth County, NC Real Estate Update – March 2026

March brought a noticeable uptick in activity as the spring market begins to take shape. While conditions remain more balanced than in recent years, we’re starting to see stronger pricing and increased inventory as more sellers enter the market.

Prices Showing Strength
The average sales price for single-family homes rose to $397,059 in March, an increase of over 8% compared to last year. This is a strong sign that buyer demand is still supporting home values as we head into the busiest time of year.

Inventory Continues to Expand
Inventory climbed to 1,026 homes for sale, up roughly 27% year-over-year. Months of supply is now at 3.0 months, giving buyers more options and creating a more competitive environment for sellers.

Homes Still Taking Longer to Sell
The average days on market came in at 62 days, continuing the trend of homes taking a bit longer to sell. Pricing and presentation remain key, as well-positioned homes are still moving while others sit longer.

Buyer Activity Still Catching Up
While new listings increased, pending sales were down compared to last year, showing that buyer activity hasn’t fully caught up to the growing inventory just yet.

Overall, the market is continuing to move toward a healthier balance. With more homes hitting the market and prices holding strong, we should see increased activity as we move further into the spring season.

What a week—it’s been one of the busiest and most rewarding weeks I’ve had in real estate since getting started.

On Monday, my Cherryhill Lane listing officially went active and I signed a new listing agreement with some clients (keep an eye out for this one😁). On Tuesday, my first-time homebuyer clients went under contract on a home. Then yesterday, I had another buyer client go under contract on a beautiful townhome.

The Lord is so good through it all, and I’m incredibly grateful and excited for everyone involved in each of these transactions.

If you’ve been thinking about making a move this year, I’d love to talk to you!
