If you're trying to decide whether Franklin County, NC feels better for buying right now, the answer is yes, but only if you stay disciplined.

Last month in Franklin County, NC, the numbers pointed to a market where buyers still need to be selective. A typical sale landed at $399,000, and a typical sale took 49 days, which tells me you should expect a real decision window, not a quick grab.
For Franklin County, NC, that means I would focus first on value and condition, then on speed. When active listings were priced at a typical $404,996 and pending properties were at $393,990, I would watch the spread closely and avoid chasing a home just because it looks available.
Move quickly on the homes that fit. Keep your offer tied to the price and the pace. Use the 99% closed-to-list relationship as your ceiling check.
