Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Preston real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Preston is currently leaning toward a seller’s market, with the market gauge at 5 out of 10. Homes are valued well above the broader Cary area, with a typical home value of about $1,237,500 compared to Cary’s $605,000. Limited supply and steady demand are keeping conditions favorable for sellers.
Several indicators explain why sellers have the edge right now, starting with only 11 homes on the market and just 7.5 median days on market, down more than 51 percent from last month. Even with 27 new listings in March, new supply is down nearly 23 percent from a year ago while typical home values are up 16.2 percent year over year and 16.8 percent month over month, showing how quickly prices have climbed.
Buyer activity has cooled somewhat, with 24 pending sales in March, about 14.29 percent fewer than last year, and roughly one in four homes still selling above the asking price with an average sale-to-list ratio near 0.99. Looking ahead to April, typical home values are projected to rise to about $1,326,500 while the projected median list price dips slightly to $1,190,000, and inventory is expected to hold around 11 homes, suggesting continued tight supply despite some pricing shifts. Whether you are a buyer trying to navigate fast-moving listings or a seller aiming to price correctly in this high-value neighborhood, Agent Pronto can connect you with a Preston expert who understands these trends and can guide your next move.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
