Greensboro has more choices, but buyers are still moving

Real estate, Greensboro 175-375 single family

Here is the one thing every Greensboro homeowner should know right now. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 483 homes for sale across ZIPs 27410, 27455, 27408 and 27409 in the three months ending July 31, 2026. That is up 17.5% from the same months last year. More choices for buyers means your price and your prep matter more than they did a year ago.

Sales dipped a little. The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows 464 homes sold across the four ZIPs, down 4.1% from last year. That is a small step back, not a stall. Pending sales sat at 458, which tells us buyers are still writing contracts.

Nationally, the National Association of Realtors put months of supply at 4.9 in August 2026. Greensboro is tighter than that in most ZIP codes, as you will see below.

How each Greensboro ZIP code looked

27410: the busiest corner of town

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 219 homes sold in 27410 in the three months ending July 31, 2026. That is up 12.9% from a year before. The median sale price rose 3% to $376,000. Homes here took a median of 34 days to sell, just one day longer than last year. Sellers got 98.7% of list price on average. Those are steady numbers.

One honest note: the share of 27410 homes that sold above list price fell 10.3 points to 19.6%. Fewer bidding wars, but homes are still closing close to asking.

27455: prices slipped, but quick sales held up

The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows the median sale price in 27455 fell 9.3% to $403,500 in the three months ending July 31, 2026. That is worth watching. Sales also dipped 7.3% to 127 homes. Still, 27455 had the highest sale-to-list ratio of any ZIP here, at 98.9%.

Nearly half of 27455 homes went under contract within two weeks. The Real Estate Data Aggregator put that share at 49.2%, up 3.1 points from last year. Buyers in Lake Jeanette and northwest Greensboro are still moving fast when they find the right home.

27408: prices pulled back, but contracts kept coming

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 81 homes sold in 27408, down 10% from a year before. The median sale price fell 17.1% to $320,000. That is the sharpest price drop across these four ZIPs. Days on market stretched 8 days longer to a median of 37.

Even so, pending sales in 27408 rose 7.7% to 84. That means buyers near Friendly Center and Irving Park are still active. Months of supply stayed at 2.9, which is lean.

27409: the most supply, and buyers taking their time

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 37 homes sold in 27409 in the three months ending July 31, 2026. That is down 41.3% from a year before. Months of supply jumped 2.4 months to 4.6. That is the loosest reading of any ZIP here, and it is still below the 4.9 months the National Association of Realtors reported for the U.S. in August 2026.

The median sale price in 27409 rose 6.5% to $245,000. So prices held up even as volume fell. Homes here took a median of 40 days to sell, 2 days longer than last year.

What rates are doing to the picture

Freddie Mac put the average 30-year fixed rate at 7.28% as of October 1, 2026. The 15-year averaged 6.60%. Rates at that level mean buyers are being careful about price. That is exactly why a well-priced, well-prepared home in Greensboro still moves in 34 to 40 days, while an overpriced one sits.

One last thing: these numbers cover whole ZIP codes. One street in Sherwood Forest can read very differently from the ZIP it sits in. If you want to know what is happening right where you live, text me your address.
