If you’ve been thinking about selling your home, now is the time to get started! The spring real estate market along the I-85 corridor is just around the corner and things are starting to heat up—from Greensboro to Charlotte. In areas like Winston-Salem, Asheboro, Lexington, Salisbury, Concord, and Kannapolis, buyers are already actively searching, and waiting too long could mean missing out on the best opportunities.
Why Timing Matters
Spring is historically the busiest season for home sales, with increased buyer activity driving competition. However, with homes spending anywhere from 50 to 102 days on the market, waiting too long to list could put you at a disadvantage. As more homes become available, the market can become oversaturated, making it harder to stand out.
What’s Happening in the Local Market?
Greensboro homes are selling in about 50 days, while Winston-Salem averages 55 days on the market.
Salisbury homes are taking longer to sell, now averaging 102 days, a notable increase from last year.
Kannapolis homes are moving in 64 days, and Lexington properties in 58 days—still a solid timeframe but reflecting growing competition.
Asheboro homes remain on the market for about 62 days, showing steady demand.
With mortgage rates stabilizing, buyers are motivated to act now before potential increases later in the year.
How to Prepare Your Home for a Fast Sale
The best way to maximize your home’s value is by working with an experienced real estate agent who understands the local market. Here’s what you should be doing now to get ready:
✔ Boost curb appeal – Freshen up landscaping and add a pop of color to your entryway.
✔ Declutter and stage – Create an inviting space where buyers can see themselves.
✔ Make necessary repairs – Address minor fixes that could turn buyers away.
✔ Price it right – An expert pricing strategy ensures you attract serious buyers quickly.
