Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Year-over-year, Wake County’s typical home value is essentially flat, dipping less than a percentage point, while median list prices are down more noticeably. Active listings are up compared with last year, yet both homes sold and pending sales have declined, signaling softer demand. Months of supply has climbed sharply over the past year, aligning with its current Neutral Market reading.
In the latest September 2026 snapshot, the typical home value sits around the mid-$460,000s, and the median list price is very close to that level. Homes are spending a median of 47 days on the market, unchanged from last month but slightly higher than a year ago, and sellers are receiving about 98 percent of their list price on average.
Supply and demand dynamics have shifted over recent months as inventory has risen and sales volumes have edged down, giving buyers more options and slightly more time. At the same time, nearly 13 percent of homes are still closing above list price, showing that well-priced properties can attract strong interest. Compared with North Carolina overall, Wake County is higher priced and has a bit less supply relative to demand, with the state sitting closer to 4.8 months of inventory. With conditions balanced between buyers and sellers, Agent Pronto can connect both sides with an agent who understands how to navigate this evolving market.

Wake County offers residents a dynamic mix of strong job opportunities, top-rated schools, vibrant arts and culture, and abundant outdoor recreation in a welcoming, well-connected community.
Wake County stands out from nearby counties with its mix of major city energy, suburban comfort, and small town character, all within a short drive of each other. Raleigh, Cary, Apex, and smaller communities like Rolesville and Wendell share a strong sense of local pride, supported by respected schools such as Wake County Public Schools and higher education anchors like NC State.
Residents enjoy an active lifestyle that feels distinctly local.

“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!”

“We met Carolyn in April when we decided we wanted to start the home buying process and sell our townhome. From the very beginning we had a really good feeling about her. She was very personable, kind hearted, and listened to our needs. We told her what we wanted and what we were willing to budge on as well. She took it all into consideration when providing suggestions and showing homes. We were amazed at the wealth of knowledge that she brought to the table when it came to builders, areas to consider, inspections, price points, etc. I could go on and on. She is a Jill of all trades! With her amazing negotiation skills our offer on the house we wanted was accepted out of several offers and we bought the perfect home. My favorite part of this process was seeing that the things we thought were impossible become possible. For instance when it came to selling our townhome, we were in an area and neighborhood where similar homes were sitting on the market for months. She made some suggestions, we followed through and received an offer in 11 DAYS!! That speaks volumes on her expertise. We couldn’t have asked for a better Realtor for this whole process. We are forever grateful for Carolyn and Nord Property Group.”

“Working with Joshua was one of the best decisions we made during our homebuying journey! As first-time homebuyers purchasing a home from across the country, we knew this would be a big step, but Joshua made the entire experience so much easier. From the very beginning, Joshua worked hard to help us secure the home we fell in love with. It wasn't an easy one to get, but he fought for us and made it happen. Even with us being out of state, he made sure everything was taken care of. Our closing process was far from typical, and we faced some unexpected challenges with our lender that caused delays and uncertainty. Throughout it all, Joshua handled everything professionally, stayed on top of every detail, and did everything he could to keep things moving forward. He truly went above and beyond, helping us feel less stressed during a very challenging time. We cannot recommend Joshua highly enough! If you're looking for a realtor who will genuinely fight for your best interests, go the extra mile, and stand by you no matter how challenging the process gets, Joshua is the one you want on your side. We would choose him again in a heartbeat!”

“Angela is hands down the best!! Buying and selling can be stressful at times, but she manages the process expertly. She’s always many steps ahead of client needs, stays on top of every aspect of the process, communicates consistent updates, and is always available for questions. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor in the Triangle area. Thank you, Angela!!”

“Dana was fantastic to work with throughout our home purchase. From the first showing to closing day, she was responsive, honest, and always had our best interest in mind. She guided us through every step negotiating a great deal, handling the inspection and repair requests, and explaining the closing process in a way that was easy to understand. As first time buyers we had a lot of questions, and she was patient with every single one. She even showed up at the house to meet contractors on our behalf. We felt supported the whole way and could not have asked for a better realtor. Highly recommend Dana to anyone buying a home in the area”

“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.”

“Aaron was such a pleasure to work with! I know we were some of the pickiest people he's probably ever had to work with, but he never made us feel like it. We were never rushed or made to feel odd about asking so many questions about things we didn't understand, and Aaron took his time making us feel very safe and comfortable in this huge decision! His kindness and compassion really went a long way, 10 stars!!”

“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!”

“My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Kaitlin while purchasing our first home in Benson, North Carolina, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. As first-time homebuyers, the process was new to us and, at times, a little stressful—especially when navigating some difficulties with the sellers. Throughout the entire process, Kaitlin went above and beyond to advocate for us and made sure that all of our questions, concerns, and needs were heard and addressed. Having Kaitlin by our side made the home-buying process feel 10 times easier. She was always attentive, responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure we felt comfortable with every decision along the way. It was clear that she wasn’t just focused on getting the transaction completed—she truly cared about making sure we were getting what we needed and the best deal possible. Her dedication to her clients really sets her apart, and we are so grateful to have had her guiding us through such an important milestone in our lives. I would highly recommend Kaitlin to anyone looking to buy a home in the Benson area or surrounding communities. We would absolutely work with her again in the future and couldn’t imagine having gone through this experience with anyone else!”

“Love! Love! Love! Chambrea!!!! She worked so hard on my rental property ventures and it paid off!!! We wanted to invest in our home-state of NC even though we live in California, and she was our eyes, ears, hands, and feet so that we could realize our dreams. Chambrea is highly intelligent and professional and will work until the job is done RIGHT!!! We have a few hiccups along the way but she walked us through every single hurdle, and we were able to close! I will be using Chambrea in the future as we look to expand our rental property ownership! HIGHLY recommended.”

“I’m not even sure where to start! I knew I wanted a home, but beyond that, I was all over the place. I wasn’t sure what I wanted, what I needed, or even where to begin. After recently losing my mother, I also found myself missing the sounding board and guidance I had always been able to count on. Along came LaShanda. With a calm hand, incredible patience, and true professionalism, she guided me through the entire process. She listened to me, understood what I was looking for—even when I wasn’t quite sure myself—and somehow helped me find the place that felt like it was meant for me. My dream home. A townhome, to be exact! What could have been an overwhelming and emotional experience became one of the most meaningful journeys I’ve ever taken. She didn’t just help me buy a house; she helped me find a place I can truly call home. I will forever be grateful for her guidance, patience, expertise, and genuine care throughout this entire process. If you’re looking for a realtor who will truly listen, advocate for you, and walk beside you every step of the way, I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you for helping me find my home. You’ll always be a special part of this chapter of my life.”

“Rebecca helped my family with buying our home when we moved from CO to Morrisville, NC. She was incredibly patient with us, showing us numerous houses within a week period. She was honest with us throughout the process, pointing out the pros and cons of each home and giving us her professional opinion on what might be worth buying and what might not. In doing so, it never felt like she just wanted to make a sale, but instead it felt like she genuinely had our best interest at heart. She advocated for us when others made us feel like we weren’t a priority and consistently communicated with us to help ease our anxiety. We’re thankful to have had her by our side throughout this process and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor. Thank you, Rebecca!!!”
