Homes Sales: Don't Believe Everything You Read...

In our office, the ongoing advice is "don't watch the news or read the paper".  At least when it comes to the real estate market.  In general, those blanket statement, negative headline stories just don't apply here in Forsyth County.  Sure, the Forsyth County home sales market has been greatly impacted over the past 4 years; there has been a significant adjustment in home sales prices.  But Forsyth County had one of their busiest winter selling seasons, and spring is proving to be no different.  Inventory levels are down, and sales and pricing is up.  Check it out:
