Welcome to High Point, North Carolina great place to call home!

If you’re thinking about moving to the heart of the state, you’re in the right place. Today, we’re taking a look at the latest housing market trends and breaking down the top five neighborhoods that make High Point a fantastic place to live.

Let’s start with the numbers.

As of March 2025, the average home value in High Point sits at $237,440—that’s more affordable than the Piedmont Triad’s median of $323,798, giving homebuyers more bang for their buck. The median sale price is $252,000, and homes are staying on the market for about 56 days—a little longer than in Greensboro, but that means buyers have more time to find the right home.
