The 34-day average is misleading. The right homes still move faster than the city average. You need a strategy before you start looking.
Call TeresaWhat This Data Actually Means
Numbers without context are just numbers. Here is what I am telling my buyers and sellers in Kernersville right now, based on what I am seeing close every single week.
For Sellers
The window of pricing on emotion is closed. The market has shifted just enough that overpriced homes do not get rescued by a frenzy. Price within 1 to 2 percent of recent comps in your ZIP. Stage. Get professional photos. Be ready to negotiate, not capitulate. Homes that follow that formula are still closing at full price.
For Buyers
Get pre-approved before you start looking. The right new construction homes in Caleb Creek and Salem Glen are going under contract in 7 to 10 days with multiple offers. Inventory is up year over year, so you have more leverage than you did six months ago, but you still need to move quickly on the right home.
For Investors
Kernersville cap rates are tight at 5 to 7 percent. This is an appreciation play, not a yield play.
