Raleigh real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Raleigh real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
Raleigh home values have inched up 0.64% compared to last year, even as Wake County values slipped about 3.16%. Inventory is almost flat year over year, up just 0.08%, suggesting steady but not surging options for buyers. At the same time, new listings are down 25.07% and pending sales have fallen 27.27%, pointing to slower overall activity than a year ago.
In February 2026, the typical home value in Raleigh reached about $430,000, with a median list price of roughly $435,000 and a market gauge indicating a seller's market. Homes spent a median of 69 days on the market, more than doubling from last year with a 122.58% increase, while sellers still secured about 97.98% of their list price on average.
Current supply sits near 1,304 homes, equal to about 3.7 months of supply, and 24.92% of listings saw a price drop, showing that pricing strategy matters. Buyers will find that 17.18% of recent sales closed above list price, even as March projections point to a typical home value edging toward $448,500 and a median list price of around $442,500, with inventory hovering near 1,316 homes. Whether someone is buying in this moderating yet still seller-leaning environment or selling and trying to stand out, Agent Pronto can connect them with a Raleigh agent who understands these trends.

“The Beth Hines Team came for a pre-listing appointment and gave advice on what we need to do to present the house at listing. We repainted the house and did the improvements to the kitchen cabinet, as well as flooring as recommended. The house went on the market a few days prior to a major snowstorm During the snowstorm, the house was shown twice, and we had an offer to purchase from the second showing. The offer was full price and closed within 45 days. We are very pleased with the results from the Beth Hines team.”

“Chelsea did an AMAZING job selling our home. She knew exactly how to price it to sell it in the timeframe we needed while also not compromising on the value of the home. We received a very reasonable offer on our home in less than 30 days and ultimately ended up closing on our home with that offer. This is compared to other homes in our neighborhood that have sat for 40-150 days on the market. We believe it is because of Chelsea's knowledge, expertise, and diligent marketing that our home sold so quickly and favorably.”
