2019 home sales up in all three Greensboro-High Point counties

Guilford County, N.C., home sales in 2019 topped all of the Triad's 11 counties monitored by the Triad MLS Realtors group, the service announced Thursday.

Ray Alexander, 2020 president of the Greensboro Regional Realtors Association said in a news release, "the supply of houses on the market remains low. Location, price point and condition of the property continue to be a factor in how long the property remains on the market."

Home sales were up in all three of the Greensboro-High Point metropolitan area's counties of Guilford, Randolph and Rockingham.
