“Michele was great! Not only was she extremely helpful with our search and purchase, but her experience and knowledge of the local housing market, inspections, fixtures, and comps made her assistance invaluable!”
“My realtor was amazing—knowledgeable, patient, and truly dedicated. Highly recommend!”
“Working with the Sold By Starkey team was an incredible experience! They worked tirelessly from the moment we began our search to the day we closed on our new home. Kevin truly understood what we were looking for and consistently guided us in that direction until the Sold By Starkey team found the perfect fit for us. Their deep passion for what they do and the clients they serve is evident in every interaction. I’m so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with such a trustworthy, patient, and compassionate team, and I would recommend them to any friend or family member looking to make a move!”
“Pamela began working with us and within 48 hrs we were under contract! She immediately translated our needs/requests into the ideal home and closed the deal promptly. Her communication, professionalism and ability to quickly understand what we were looking for were top notch. We relocated from NJ to NC and had very limited time to look at homes. Pamela narrowed out scope and effort and made the process simple for us. I Would recommend Pamela to anybody looking in the area and would use her again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much Pamela! We are grateful!”
“We really enjoyed working with Sue. She listened to what we were looking for and was quick to respond to meet us wheb needed.”
“Matt Hyduchak was exactly the agent for us. He listed our home for sale and I brought him on for the buying process of our new construction home. I like to be involved in the real estate process and Matt allowed me to do so with all the communication I needed. I had many suggestions and requests throughout the listing period and Matt took everything into consideration with professional expertise, knowledge and kindness. Selling houses during this time was difficult for everyone, so Matt went the extra mile to increase our showings and presence, all while encouraging our confidence in selling our home. Though we believe our new home is forever, we would definitely ask Matt to represent us again if we choose to sell.”
“Rebecca was available and patient in answering all our questions and walking us through the homebuying process, from beginning to end. Her knowledge and experience were the keys to our success.”

“There is no other agent like Bre. She is down to earth, dedicated, and extremely knowledgeable. Would not have made it through the process without her.”
“Overall it was an excellent experience. Rocio was on top of everything since the beginning until the end of the process. Great job!”
“Working with Vanessa was Phenomenal. She was there every step of the way. She was my realtor at the time but she has now become my friend through this process. She was very professional, informative, and very involved from day one. She was very passionate about her work. She was accessible at any time of day for any questions or concerns I may have had. She is that Deal. I would recommend her to anyone who is in the business of Buying, Building, or Selling. She is the Bomb.com! Y'all go check out my Girl you won't be disappointed.

She did all the legwork, and found me the perfect neighborhood, the perfect home! She was there EVERY step of the way, through the inspections, the paperwork... She was so knowledgeable, and professional. We were so in sync, I trusted her completely , and boy did she deliver! Attention to detail was an understatement for her , she's sharp as a tack lol, nothing gets past her. Thank you Leslie Smolkowicz, there aren't enough words to express my gratitude. You are the prime example of the phrase of having a "passion for what you do, and you will excel" it certainly shows . God Bless”

“We absolutely loved working with Valerie Maat! She is the most knowledgeable, patient woman I have ever met. Old people purchasing from out of state, we had at least a million questions. She picked out the perfect home on the perfect location for us. She worked so hard late at night and early morning with helping us negotiate anything we needed her for. We will recommend her to anyone looking for a home!”
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Clayton real estate market, updated for December 2025. *
The typical home value in Clayton is projected to be $330,380 for the month of November. October’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the city to be $317,250—down 0.86% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, county-level data pegged home values at $350,000 in Johnston County for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $350,050 in November.
Clayton had 52 new listings and 41 listings that went under contract in October, increasing the area’s total available inventory to 148—up 3.5% from the previous month. Inventory is projected to have further increased in November.
Of those 148 active listings, 43.24% reduced their price in the month of October. The median listing price for homes in Clayton grew 6.77% from September to October, bringing the current median listing price to $347,000. Based on projected data for November, listing prices may continue to grow.
The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract fell year-over-year. In October 2025, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 80 days, compared to 99 days in October 2024. In recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be decreasing. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this November.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Clayton offers residents a vibrant community with a perfect balance of charming local attractions and modern amenities that foster a welcoming and dynamic living environment.
Clayton blends small-town ease with Triangle opportunity, set just southeast of Raleigh in Johnston County. A walkable core of murals, boutiques, and cafés gives way to evening performances at The Clayton Center, where touring acts and community productions share the stage inside a beautifully restored town hall and auditorium. Weekend plans often start outdoors: the paved River Walk and Sam’s Branch greenways, maintained by the Town of Clayton, trace the Neuse River for miles of biking and stroller-friendly cruising, with trailheads near downtown. Craft beer, food trucks, and seasonal festivals fill the calendar, while local parks keep ballfields, dog areas, and play spaces busy year-round.
Families value the area’s educational backbone, from Johnston County Public Schools and career-focused academies to workforce programs at Johnston Community College. Healthcare is anchored by UNC Health Johnston, whose Clayton campus offers emergency and specialty care close to home. Housing spans established in-town streets to master-planned neighborhoods like Flowers Plantation and Riverwood. Commuters appreciate quick connections along US 70 Business and I-40 to employers in Garner and the broader Triangle, while nearby pines and boardwalks in the serene Clemmons Educational State Forest invite easy weekend escapes.
