Market Snapshot — Forsyth County
The median list price sits at $699,000 this week, with inventory holding steady around 966 homes. Recent 30-day sales show a median sale price of $653,750 (up approximately 1.4% year-over-year), with homes moving in about 17–18 days on average. The sale-to-list ratio is running just under 98%, so well-priced homes are still finding buyers close to asking.

Financing perspective
Rate Watch
The 30-year fixed mortgage rate averaged 6.66% this week, essentially flat from last week’s 6.65%. For buyers, rates have been steady for weeks, so waiting for a big drop may not pay off—locking in now with a well-priced home could make more sense than trying to time the market. For sellers, steady rates mean steadier buyer expectations, so this remains a practical window to list.
