During the last couple of years, homes have been flying off the market due to a combination of low housing inventory and record-low interest rates. In spring 2021, 47% of U.S. homes were on the market for less than a week before going pending, according to Zillow. Though the housing market has started cooling down this year, buyers are still snapping up properties at a fast rate. Around the Winston-Salem area, some towns have a more active real estate market than others.

Stacker compiled a list of cities where homes are closing the fastest, using data from Redfin. Cities are ranked using a weighted average of the days listed for sale for every month between April 2021 and March 2022. The same system was used to create a weighted average median home sale price.
