Mortgage Rates Hit 7.28%. Guilford County Listings Are Up 28.7%.

Your Price Is Up Against 1,604 Guilford County Listings

Guilford County had 1,604 active listings in September 2026 by Realtor.com's count, 358 more than the 1,246 it had a year earlier, and the count has climbed every month since January's 1,091. Up 28.7% in a year.

Asking prices went the other way. The county's median listing price was $337,068 in September, down $20,382 from $357,450 a year before. That's the middle asking price of what was for sale. Not a sale price. And it moves with the mix of homes on the market.

Price cuts rose with the count: 694 Guilford listings had their price reduced during September, against 530 a year earlier. The share barely moved. Per 100 active listings, it's about 43 cuts in both years. More listings, so more cuts.

Our view: a price comes from the market's evidence. Not a formula. In September, that evidence was 1,604 homes a buyer could hold yours up against. We think the best value among homes like yours draws buyers first. If yours sits with no offers, read that as the market's answer on price, measured against the homes buyers pick instead.

Rates Are Up Since February, and Guilford Listings Sit Longer

If you've been waiting for rates to fall before you list, 2026 went the other way. Freddie Mac's 30-year fixed average bottomed at 5.98% on February 26 and reached 7.28% on October 1, its highest weekly average since November 22, 2023, when it was 7.29%.

Now the payment math. On a 30-year fixed loan, every $100,000 borrowed costs $684 a month in principal and interest at 7.28%, against $598 at 5.98%. That's $86 more a month for every $100,000. Before taxes and insurance.

Guilford's numbers moved too. Realtor.com's median days on market for the county was 58 in September 2026, up from 50 a year earlier and from 45 in April. Pending listings peaked at 887 in May. By September, down to 685.

Read that 58 the way Realtor.com counts it. The clock runs from the list date to closing, pending or off-market, depending on the data available. So it can stop at the contract. Your closing day can come later.

Our view: the days that count for you run from the day you list to the day your sale closes. A listing trades time for price. So decide how long you can carry the house before you pick a list price.

Listing or Two Offers: Pick the Path That Fits Your Moving Date

Pick your path with the Fast Cash Offer and the Premium Cash Offer from Cash Flow Deals. With the Fast Cash Offer, we buy your house as-is and close. With the Premium Cash Offer, a pre-approved FHA or conventional buyer we already have, ready to go, pays more and buys directly from you. You choose. If the date you move matters most, compare the calendars before you compare anything else.

Take 10 to 15 minutes to compare what you would receive and when you could move. Ask for both offers in writing so you can weigh the timing and the money together.

Cash Flow Deals terms, in order:

1. Inspection: the Fast Cash Offer has an inspection period of 15 business days. Review the Premium Cash Offer's inspection terms in your written contract.

2. Closing: 45 days or less, on a date you help pick, is the existing closing window stated here. Confirm the timing for the offer you choose in your written contract.

3. Fast Cash Offer and Premium Cash Offer: choose our as-is purchase or a higher-paying purchase directly from you by a pre-approved FHA or conventional buyer we already have, ready to go. For our as-is purchase, our team does one walk-through and gives you a written offer. You make no repairs.

4. With Premium, you sign with us at a number you agree to and let us bring in a buyer in our place. That buyer signs a new contract directly with you. Title transfers once, from you to them, and their lender funds the purchase. We cover repair costs, and we figure out a way, so nothing comes out of your pocket. Only what the buyer's lender requires gets fixed, with those costs settled from the sale proceeds out of our share.

5. If the Premium buyer's loan falls through, that is our problem, not yours. You can still take the Fast Cash Offer at its own number instead of the Premium Cash Offer.

6. Our fee: you pay no commission to Cash Flow Deals on either offer. With Premium, we're paid as a separate line item on the closing statement.

7. Your number: the number is agreed before any work starts, and it changes only if you agree. The one exception: if something structural surfaces that was not visible or disclosed before we signed — foundation issues, hidden moisture, old wiring, cast-iron drain failure — we re-cost it and bring the number back to you. You decide. You can walk away. We disclose what we know at offer time so this almost never happens. That includes foundation issues, hidden moisture, old wiring or cast-iron drain failure. We disclose what we know at offer time. You get the amount you agree to, and we'll handle any costs on top of that, subject to that structural exception.

Run the math both ways. Compare the Fast Cash Offer and the Premium Cash Offer from Cash Flow Deals with your other options, including what you would receive after costs and the time it takes to sell. Choose the path that fits your move.
