Turn off the T.V. and Radio when it comes to Greensboro Real Estate.......
You hear all the time on the news, on the radio, in the papers how housing market falls again. This may be true on a national level, but what you must be aware of is that Real Estate is local by it’s nature, don’t allow the hype to scare you. North Carolina is the 6th fastest growing state in the country with more than 9 million people according to the census bureau. The average sales price of a home Greensboro continues to rise along with a modest rise in homes appreciation in the area. Guilford County homes have an average days on market of 85 days and homes listed at market value are still selling at 97% of their list price! Interest rates are still unbelievable low. Did you know that the triad sits within 650 miles of half of the U.S. population and Forbes recently ranked Greensboro and Winston-Salem among the top business sites in the nation? With FedEx and Honda Jet just two example look how much we are growing and More Jobs = More People = Greater demand for Housing
