No guesswork, no recycled headlines — this comes straight from MLS-sourced data through RPR, current as of September 2026. Updated monthly.
Forsyth County remains a seller's market — cooled from the frenzy, not flipped. Homes closed at a median of $567,500 at about 96.8% of asking, with median days on market at 43 (+26.5% month-over-month). Active inventory is 1,551 and months of supply sit at 4.89 (+7.2% YoY). Sellers still have the edge; buyers have more time to think and a softer median print than August.
Forsyth's median estimated value is $636,160 — soft month-over-month (-0.5%) and down 1.5% year-over-year. That's a market holding its level after years of big gains, not one unraveling. Months of inventory at 4.89 edged down MoM (-2.2%) but is still up 7.2% YoY — under the balanced ~6-month mark, with more choice than a year ago.
Median DOM jumped to 43 days while active listings eased to 1,551. Sold-to-list at 96.8% tells me correctly priced homes still clear near ask — just not as tight as August. "List it high and wait" isn't the 2022 playbook anymore — day-one pricing still decides who wins.
New listings: 592 homes hit the market, median list price $649,000.
Went under contract: 303 homes, median list price $649,000 (220 new pending).
Closed: 248 homes sold for a median of $567,500 at 96.8% of asking price.
Total sales volume: $163M changed hands in Forsyth County residential real estate last month.
Homes are still selling near 96.8% of asking, and 4.89 months of inventory still favors sellers. With 1,551 actives and a 43-day median DOM, overpricing gets punished with stale days. Price at true market value from day one and you're still in a strong spot.
1,551 active listings and a 43-day median DOM mean more room to shop and think than August. It's still competitive for the best-priced, best-located homes — but you're not fighting the frenzy of a few years ago. Use the inventory; don't assume everything will sit forever.
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 2021–2022 runaway conditions, and not a clean flip to buyers either. MOI at 4.89 with a 7.2% YoY rise argues for more choice and a longer marketing window, not a crash.
The real story is selection and pace, not a free fall in price. If you're selling, your first two weeks of pricing and presentation matter. If you're buying, you don't have to make a panic offer on the first showing.
Yes, if it's priced right. You're still selling near 96.8% of asking price on average, but with 1,551 actives and a 43-day median DOM an overpriced listing sits and stales instead of selling. Price it at true value and you're in a strong position.
Estimated values are soft month-over-month (-0.5%) and down 1.5% year-over-year. Waiting for a crash based on the data isn't supported — but you do have more inventory and negotiating room than you did in 2022.
Median is 43 days right now. A well-priced, well-presented home still moves at or faster than that median; aspirational pricing is what stretches the calendar.
