Neighbors Bank, a mortgage lender focused on first-time and underserved homebuyers, set out to understand what's keeping potential homebuyers from making a move. The lender surveyed 1,000 U.S. adults who identify as potential homebuyers about how long they've been waiting, the mortgage rate they're holding out for, and how accurately they read the market.

Key Takeaways
Many potential homebuyers misjudge the market: only 35% correctly identified the average 30-year mortgage rate range at the time of the survey, and 45% thought rates were higher than they actually were.

72% of potential homebuyers have delayed their home search, waiting an average of 13 months for mortgage rates to improve.

41% of waiting homebuyers already regret not buying before rates or prices climbed further, and 17% say they'd have bought sooner if they could redo the last year.

The average homebuyer waiting for rates to drop is holding out for about a 5% mortgage rate, and 34% would buy immediately if rates dropped to their target.

28% are actively searching and ready to buy now.

The findings point to good news for people who have been waiting to buy. Many potential homebuyers believe mortgage rates are higher than they are, meaning homeownership may be closer than they assume.

Greensboro continues to stand out as one of North Carolina’s more affordable and livable markets.

The typical home value is around $248K, mortgage rates have improved compared with last year, and homes are selling in roughly five weeks.

For buyers who have been waiting on the sidelines, these numbers are worth paying attention to. That doesn’t mean everyone should buy right now—it means it may be worth looking at your individual situation and seeing what the current market actually looks like for you.

If you’ve been thinking about buying in the Greensboro area, I’m always happy to have a conversation and help you look at the numbers.

For those who are considering a move, what’s the biggest factor you’re watching right now—price, interest rates, or inventory?

A quick look at the Greensboro housing market

For those keeping an eye on the market, a few numbers are worth noting:

• Typical home value: approximately $248,000
• Home values: up nearly 5% from this time last year
• Well-priced homes: selling in roughly five weeks
• Mortgage rates: lower than they were a year ago

The market isn’t the same for everyone, and the right decision depends on your timing, financial goals, and the specific property.

But if you’ve been waiting on the sidelines, it may be worth taking another look at what today’s market has to offer.

I’m always happy to provide current information and help you understand what the numbers mean for your particular situation.

A little quiet on social media, but there’s been plenty happening behind the scenes.

I’m excited to share that I currently have 3 homes under contract—each with a different story, a different set of goals, and clients who have trusted me to help them navigate the process.

Real estate isn’t always about the big announcement. A lot of the work happens quietly—negotiating, problem-solving, communicating, and keeping all the details moving toward the closing table.

I’m grateful for these clients and excited to see each of these transactions through to the finish line.

3 under contract. 3 more steps toward the closing table. 🏡

Thoughtful Guidance. Exceptional Results.

I’m always grateful for the opportunity to help clients navigate a move to North Carolina, especially when that opportunity comes through someone I’ve known for many years.

On Monday, I had the pleasure of closing with a relocation client from Ohio who chose to make North Carolina home. It was a privilege to help them navigate the process and make their transition to the Triad a smooth one.

What made this closing especially meaningful was the referral from a high school classmate. Referrals are one of the greatest compliments a real estate professional can receive because they represent trust in the way I serve my clients.

Congratulations to my clients on their new North Carolina home, and thank you to my friend for trusting me with your referral. I truly appreciate both.
