“Best decision my wife and I made was to have this wonderful husband and wife team sell our house! We were previously with a different agent who we felt didn’t understand the tough townhome market in the area. We were wanting more guidance on the market, more pro-active communication from our relator, and knowledge on how to effectively price our home. We found ALL OF THIS with the Sold by Starkey Team! Within a few weeks of Kevin & Amanda becoming our new realtors we sold our home! The entire process was so smooth and we were kept informed on current market trends and the selling process the entire time. This team really shines with understanding the local market and providing constant communication! Real Estate is not a hobby for this team, they are true realtors! We highly recommend Sold by Starkey team - You won't be disappointed!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Clayton’s rolling three-month housing data points to notable change compared with a year ago. Typical home values are up more than 14 percent year over year, while median list prices have climbed about 13 percent. At the same time, months of supply has more than tripled over the past year, signaling a very different balance between buyers and sellers than last fall.
In the latest rolling period ending in September 2026, the typical home value sits around the mid-$300,000s, closely aligned with the median list price. New listings have risen more than 22 percent year over year, yet homes sold and pending sales are down by roughly one-fifth, and properties now spend a median of 64 days on the market, nearly two weeks longer than a year ago.
Inventory has edged up slightly to about 330 active listings, and supply has expanded to 4.8 months even though fewer homes are closing. Only about 14 percent of recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 100 percent, indicating sellers still hold some leverage but buyers have more room to negotiate than before. With Clayton officially categorized as a seller’s market but showing mixed signals, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an experienced local agent to navigate these shifting conditions.
Learn more about what Clayton has to offer.
Clayton offers residents a welcoming, community-oriented lifestyle with strong schools, abundant parks and trails, a thriving local business scene, and plenty of events that bring neighbors together.
Clayton offers a small town identity that feels distinct from nearby Raleigh and Garner, with a walkable Main Street, local events, and a strong sense of “everyone knows your neighbor.” Longtime residents and newcomers connect at spots like the restored Clayton Center for concerts and community performances, or at Deep River Brewing Company where food trucks and live music draw a steady local crowd.
Outdoor time is a big part of life here. Families and runners use the Clayton River Walk on the Neuse, which ties into the larger Mountains to Sea Trail. East Clayton Community Park and Municipal Park offer ballfields, playgrounds, and open space, while the Clayton Community Center hosts fitness classes, youth programs, and town events.
Local schools in Johnston County and access to jobs across the Triangle keep Clayton popular with commuters who want more space without losing connection to urban amenities in Raleigh. The housing mix ranges from established in-town neighborhoods to newer subdivisions and rural properties, so understanding micro markets, school assignments, and commuting patterns is essential.
With new construction, resale competition, and shifting interest rates, timing and preparation matter. Agent Pronto connects Clayton buyers and sellers with the right real estate professional so you can move confidently, whether you are entering the market or planning your next step.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“We had an excellent experience buying with Farhan Khan coming from out of state. He communicated proactively with us throughout the process, made sure are we are well informed, was always helpful, and went the extra mile. He also offered valuable guidance when it came to negotiating and putting an offer. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in buying or selling a home in the Greater Raleigh area.”
“We actually dealt with Coralie! She was extremely knowledgeable and guided us through the entire process of purchasing our property. Very responsive when we had a question and always answered quickly to be courteous of our time. I’ve never had someone response to me on weekends and from home as much as she did to make sure we were taken care of! Can’t say thank you enough for the great experience!”
“Marjorie gave us the support and guidance on sale of our home. Always responsive and patient with us. Would recommend to others looking for a realtor.”
“Diego did an amazing job, getting us all that we needed to close. Always on time Monday through Sunday and also ask if we have any questions. I will recommend him for any person that buying a home or first time buying a home.”
“Matthew went above and beyond to make sure that our home sale went smoothly. He made sure everything was taken care of, and that we always knew what was going on. His knowledge of the area and clear communication made the selling process a breeze. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
“Addie was AMAZING! She really represents her clients well. She is there every step of the way. I couldn't be more satisfied with the level of service she provided.”
“Crystal was an outstanding professional in helping me purchase my new home. She was always available and responsive, very informative, and made the entire process so much smoother from beginning to end. I would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase or sell a house in the Raleigh area.”

“Toni has been a joy to work with from the very beginning. As a first time home buyer, Toni's guidance, patience and expertise in this process has been nothing short of amazing. I am truly Blessed to have been connected to Toni and her team of people to walk with me this process.”
“As first-time homebuyers, we feel very lucky that Bilt matched us with her. We had seen mixed reviews online about different eXp agents, so we weren’t sure what to expect, but she was fantastic from start to finish. She was patient, proactive, and always took the time to explain things, answer our questions, and give us honest advice. We were ready to accept the seller’s counteroffer, but without us even asking, she kept negotiating and came back a couple of hours later with an even lower price. That really showed us she was looking out for our best interests. She was also very responsive, even while out of the country on vacation. We had one small issue with an inspector she recommended, but she did everything she could to help get it resolved. Our parents were also involved in parts of the process and came away just as impressed. We’re very grateful we were matched with her and would absolutely recommend her.”
“Yoana and Mihai were extremely knowledgeable, professional and honest helping us sell our Cary, NC home. We sold above asking price in one day. Their experience made the entire process very easy. We could not have been more pleased with their services and would highly recommend them for your real estate needs.”
“Absolutely Amazing! I just wanted to say THANK YOU to the best agent in the business! Tim patiently waited while we figured out exactly what we wanted to do. When we finally found the home we wanted, it wasn’t going to be easy—but HE MADE IT HAPPEN! He got it done ON TIME and UNDER BUDGET! 5 Stars just isn't enough- He runs his own firm, runs renovation jobs, and always makes time for his clients! I don't know how he does it all!! If you’re looking for an LOCALLY OWNERED FIRM and an owner/agent who will be patient, persistent, and truly go to bat for you, Atlas Central NC Realty/w owner Tim Supples is your guy!”

“Brett and Caitlin helped us find the perfect house and sell our house quickly. We were looking for something very specific. Even when we got discouraged by what was available, Brett and Caitlin kept researching and found a great place for us. When it was time to sell, they went above and beyond with staging and photos and were able to sell our house quickly.”
“We have known Giri for years, so we already knew he was someone we could trust — but working with him as our real estate agent exceeded our expectations. He gave us thoughtful advice that opened our eyes to options we hadn't even considered, and backed it up with data and financial modeling that helped us make confident decisions. He was always quick to respond, patient with our questions, and his connections with mortgage brokers and property managers made the entire process feel seamless. We couldn't have asked for a better guide through the journey, and we'd recommend him without hesitation.”

Her professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication truly set her apart. I always felt like she had my best interests in mind and worked hard to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a realtor who is trustworthy, hardworking, and exceptional at what she does.”
