Buying or Selling in the Triad area of North Carolina? Here’s What You Need to Know in 2025


Whether you’re thinking about buying your first home in Greensboro, selling a property in Winston-Salem, or eyeing an upgrade in High Point, one thing’s for sure: the Triad real estate market is moving—and smart buyers and sellers are moving with it.

2025 is shaping up to be a year of opportunity for the Triad area. We’re seeing shifts that favor both sides of the market, depending on your approach and timing. So whether you're ready to buy, thinking about selling, or just curious, here’s what the local market is really doing—and what it means for you.


Buyers: More Choices, Less Frenzy
In recent years, buying a home in the Triad felt like a race. Homes were flying off the market, and bidding wars were the norm. But this year? It’s a different story—and a better one for buyers.

Inventory is climbing. More sellers are entering the market in 2025, especially in neighborhoods like Ardmore in Winston-Salem, Lindley Park in Greensboro, and newer developments on the outskirts of High Point. That means more selection and less pressure to jump into a deal you're unsure about.

Rates are stabilizing. While interest rates aren’t back to the rock-bottom levels of the past, they’ve settled enough to make monthly payments more predictable. And with competition softening a bit, many buyers are negotiating closing costs, repairs, or even price reductions—something that was nearly impossible two years ago.

Local tip: Consider areas just outside the metro core—like Kernersville, Jamestown, or Oak Ridge—for more space and value. These towns are gaining traction with buyers who want quiet neighborhoods with easy access to city jobs and amenities.


Sellers: You Still Hold Strong Cards—If You Play Them Right
If you’re on the fence about selling, here’s the good news: homes in the Triad are still in demand, especially if they’re priced right and move-in ready. Buyers aren’t backing out—they’re just being smarter, and that’s where strategy matters.

The demand is real. Triad buyers are serious. With big employers expanding in the region — like Toyota’s battery plant near Greensboro and healthcare growth in Winston-Salem—relocations and local movement are keeping demand steady.

Presentation and pricing are key. Gone are the days when you could list a house with iPhone photos and still get five offers. Buyers are paying attention to detail. Homes that are clean, staged, and priced competitively are still selling fast—often within days in hot pockets like Sunset Hills or Buena Vista.

Local tip: If your home needs minor upgrades (think: fresh paint, landscaping, updated fixtures), now’s the time. Small investments can mean big returns in today’s market, especially with buyers comparing more listings.


The Triad Advantage
Here’s what makes the Triad unique: we’re one of the few regions in North Carolina where you can still find a great home, in a great neighborhood, at a realistic price. Median home prices here remain well below those in Charlotte, Raleigh, or Durham—but with strong appreciation and growth potential.

And with a strong rental market and continued job expansion across Guilford and Forsyth counties, buying or selling here isn’t just a transaction — it’s a long-term move with upside.


Make Your Move, Your Way
Real estate in the Triad is no longer about racing to the finish line. It’s about planning a smart move that fits your life and your goals. And whether you’re buying, selling, or both—we’re here to help you do just that.
