Updated with closings

Like the daffodils that started blooming before this winter’s first snow, spring home-buyers are rushing out early this year. New listings of historic homes in the Triad are being scooped up as many sellers are pricing their homes just right and buyers are jumping at the opportunity.

The majority of these homes are in the more affordable end of the price range, under $300,000, although there are some conspicuous exceptions. Also, these homes are mostly in the larger cities (especially Winston-Salem — what’s going on over there?). Quick sales aren’t happening much in the Piedmont’s smaller towns and rural areas.

Although the fast sales are eye-catching, older listings are moving a bit, too. Since January 1, sellers have accepted offers on historic homes originally listed in 2016 and 2017 (one each), 2018 (two) and four 2019 listings that are at least a year old.

Here are 23 historic homes newly listed in January and February that resulted in offers being accepted in 15 days or less.
