The Forsyth County housing market in May 2026

There were 1,439 homes for sale at the end of May, up 10% from a year earlier, or 3.0 months of supply, still on the sellers' side. The typical home that sold had been listed for 35 days, 1 day longer than a year earlier. 40% of homes went under contract within two weeks of listing. Compared with May 2025, owners listed 4% fewer homes and sales were down 7%.
Price cuts are common: 32% of listings were reduced in May 2026 (3.1 points more than a year earlier). An FSBO owner who has not cut yet may be priced above the market.
For FSBO outreach, this means owners who price well still sell on their own, while those who overprice start to sit, and they are the ones most open to help. The trend to watch: more homes competing for buyers than a year ago.

Working Forsyth County FSBO leads
- Follow the price cuts. When 32% of listings are being reduced, an FSBO owner who cuts is showing motivation; follow up soon after any change in the asking price.
- Time it. Put your heaviest outreach into March and April, when the most Forsyth County homes come to market, and ease off in December.
- Split the list by city. Winston-Salem had the most sales in May 2026 (291), while Clemmons (median $381,000) and Kernersville (median $293,000) sit 30% apart on price, so one script will not fit every owner.
- Use the 35-day mark. Half of the Forsyth County homes that sold in May 2026 had been listed 35 days or less, so an FSBO still for sale after that is likely stalling.
- Stay compliant and verify. Stop contacting any owner who says "no agents" or "no investors", confirm ownership and liens in Forsyth County records before an offer, and add skip tracing for records without a phone number.
