Is the Triad housing market up or down in Q4 2025?

By the end of 2025, the Triad remained surprisingly steady and healthy – no crash, no frenzy, but a more balanced market:

  • Prices: Local data for Winston-Salem shows a median sale price around the mid-$400s for 2025, with prices higher than the previous few years, reflecting steady growth rather than a spike or drop. Stacker+1

  • Sales activity: Piedmont Triad REALTORS® described 2025 as a “good year” with positive trends carrying into 2026. yahoo.com+1

  • Days on market: Homes were taking a bit longer to sell than at the peak of the frenzy, but still moving within a reasonable timeframe when priced and presented well. Stacker+1

  • Inventory: Statewide reports show more homes on the market than in the tightest years, giving buyers a bit more breathing room while still keeping leverage for sellers. NC REALTORS®

In plain language:
The Triad in Q4 2025 was not a “crash” market and not the wild multiple-offer market of 2021–2022. It was a normalizing seller-leaning market where:

  • Well-priced homes still sold,

  • Overpriced or poorly prepared homes sat, and

  • Strategy started to matter more than luck.

Are Triangle home prices still climbing?
