“The Starkeys are true professionals with deep expertise in real estate transactions, and it’s clear they genuinely care about their clients. From the start, they set clear expectations for every aspect of selling our home and consistently followed up to keep everything on track. Amanda and Kevin work seamlessly as a team. Amanda provided invaluable guidance on staging, helping our home look its absolute best, while Kevin expertly led us through evaluating offers and negotiating terms. We felt aligned with his strategy throughout, including how to handle offers and inspection requests. Their approach delivered excellent results—we received multiple offers within just two days and ultimately sold to a wonderful couple, which meant a lot to us given how much pride we took in our home. I would highly recommend the Starkeys and would happily work with them again in the future.”

Wake Forest real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Wake Forest real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Year-over-year, typical home values in Wake Forest have edged down about 4.13 percent to roughly $454,000. Inventory is up 6.15 percent from last year, and pending sales have increased 7.69 percent, signaling steady buyer activity despite softer prices. New listings are up 32.17 percent over the year, giving buyers more options than they had before.
In March 2026, homes were listed around a median price of $465,000, with 259 properties on the market and 152 new listings added. Homes spent a median of 57 days on the market, which is 34.48 percent faster than the prior month but still about 46.15 percent slower than a year ago.
Roughly 32 percent of listings saw a price drop, and about 17 percent of homes sold above list, with the average sale-to-list ratio at about 0.986, reflecting moderate negotiation between buyers and sellers. Months of supply sits near 3.4, and with a market gauge of 26, Wake Forest is still tilted toward sellers, even as values run slightly under the broader Wake County typical value of about $468,490. Looking ahead to April 2026, projections show the typical home value edging up to about $456,005, median list price near $467,500, and inventory rising to around 279, so both buyers and sellers can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands these shifting conditions.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
