Why this band moves fast here

Three things to check at this price point
- Age of the big-ticket items. Roof, HVAC, water heater — at this price, one surprise replacement changes the math.
- Townhome vs. house trade-off. Townhomes buy newer finishes; small single-family homes buy land and no HOA dues.
- School zones. Kernersville splits across several assignments — verify by address.
