Redfin released a list of metros with median sale prices below $300,000, which showed destinations like San Antonio, Cincinnati, and our very own Greensboro emerging as prime choices for those aiming to settle without breaking the bank.

In January 2024, the national median home sale price surged past a staggering $402,000, presenting a significant challenge for potential buyers nationwide. Redfin analyzed data for metro areas with median sale prices below $300,000 and that have more folks moving in than out.
