Yep, 2021 has turned out to be a doozy already. While things have changed in how we communicate, work, learn, and spend time together (while 6 feet apart), what has remained the same is the hot Winston Salem real estate market. The Twin City is still an attractive place to live, work, and play. Buyers are ready to purchase a home and put down roots.

We have buyers looking to buy your house fast in any condition. Buyers are buying – are you ready to sell?
Below are five reasons to consider selling your home TODAY.
1. Low Inventory of Homes in Winston Salem Real Estate Market
Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, there is no doubt you know housing inventory in Winston-Salem and the surrounding area is at an all-time low. Translation: There are more people in the market looking for homes than actual homes for sale.
Low inventory means more potential buyers in the Winston Salem NC area, the opportunity to get a great price on your home, and the chance to negotiate a favorable contract with terms (like moving date, repairs, cash offers, etc.) that fit your needs.
Right now houses in any condition are selling quickly. The sales price for homes across Forsyth county is at record highs with a lot of offers without home loans. Who doesn’t want to sell their home for cash.
Mantle Advice: “Inventory of homes in Winston-Salem is historically low right now, around 1.3 month’s supply – while 6 month’s supply is considered an even-handed market for both buyers and sellers. Home prices continue to be increasing. Don’t let the worry of where or how to buy your next home stop you from selling. We also have a list of homes that are coming soon to the Forsyth County real estate market.
2. Lifestyle Changes in the Real Estate Market
Life is changing quickly – is your home keeping up? Maybe you need a larger kitchen, spacious studio for your new hobby, a yard for your favorite four-legged friends, or want a low-maintenance abode now is a great time to sell. We highly recommend assessing if your home is a good fit for how you are living today and into the future. Plus while your home may not be exactly what you need any longer – it is someone’s dream home!
