No guesswork, no recycled headlines — this comes straight from MLS-sourced data through RPR, current as of July 2026. Updated monthly.
Forsyth County is still a seller's market, but it's cooled off from the frenzy of a few years back. Homes are selling for a median of $645,000 — right around 97.6% of asking price — and it's taking about 33 days to get one under contract, up sharply from last month. Prices have roughly doubled since 2021, but they've held steady, not spiked, over the past two years. Translation: sellers still have the advantage, but buyers finally have a little room to breathe.
Forsyth County's median home value sat around $350,000 in mid-2021. Today it's $663,840 — real, sustained growth, not a bubble that's about to pop. But look closer at the last two years: values have essentially plateaued, moving up and down by low single digits month to month rather than climbing. That's a market finding its ceiling, not one in trouble.
Days on market tell the same story. A year ago, well-priced homes were gone in two to three weeks. Today it's closer to five, and that number jumped 16% in just the last month. Buyers have more time to think. Sellers who price it right still win — but "just list it high and wait" isn't the strategy it was in 2022.
New listings: 552 homes hit the market — down 19% from the prior month, median list price $697,000.
Went under contract: 303 homes, median list price $679,000, taking about 37 days.
Closed: 347 homes sold for a median of $645,000 — down slightly from the prior month.
Total sales volume: $251M changed hands in Forsyth County residential real estate last month alone.
Homes are still selling for 97.6% of asking price, and inventory sits at 4.57 months — technically still favoring sellers (6+ months is considered balanced). But the days-on-market jump means overpricing gets punished faster than it used to. Price it at true market value from day one, and you're still in a strong spot.
1,370 active listings is real inventory, and homes are sitting longer before going under contract. That means room to actually think, negotiate, and not feel rushed into a decision. It's still a competitive market for the best-priced, best-located homes — but you're not fighting the frenzy of a few years ago.
Based on where inventory and pricing sit right now, I'd expect Forsyth County to stay a mild seller's market through the rest of the year — not the runaway conditions of 2021–2022, but not a shift to buyers' favor either. Months of supply has actually tightened 7.3% over the past year, which argues against a major cooldown.
The real story is pace, not price. Expect continued flat-to-modest appreciation, with the bigger change being how long homes sit before selling. If you're selling, that means your first two weeks of pricing and presentation matter more than ever. If you're buying, it means you don't have to make a panic offer on the first showing.
Yes, if it's priced right. You're still selling at 97.6% of asking price on average, but the days-on-market jump means an overpriced listing sits and stales instead of selling. Price it at true value and you're in a strong position.
Prices have been flat to slightly down month-over-month, not falling. Waiting for a crash based on the last two years of data isn't supported — but you do have more negotiating room than you did in 2022.
Median is 33 days right now, but that's up sharply from last month — meaning the market is genuinely slowing down in pace, not just seasonal noise. A well-priced, well-presented home still moves faster than that median.
