Local Market Impressions
*data below is for Raleigh+Cary together
- Inventory Up Significantly YoY: Active inventory is up 39.4% compared to the same week last year (1,698 → 2,367), showing a notable increase in supply. However, inventory has slightly dipped week-over-week (-0.5%), suggesting a possible leveling off.
- Sales Volume Rising Despite Price Dip: Closed sales jumped 36.5% YoY and 18.3% week-over-week, reaching 213 transactions—a clear sign of strong buyer activity, even in the face of higher inventory and pricing fluctuations.
- Median Price Volatile but Up YoY: The current median sales price is $515,000, up 4.5% YoY but down 6.7% from last week’s $552,000. This suggests high price variability, possibly due to shifts in the mix of homes sold rather than underlying value decline.
- Market Balancing, Not Crashing: The combo of rising inventory and sustained sales volume points to a rebalancing market. Buyers have more choices, and while sellers are adjusting expectations, homes are still moving—just not always at peak pricing.

Rumors swirled this week that the beloved Stanbury Restaurant would expand into the former Escazu Chocolates space at 936 N. Blount St. (Escazu recently relocated to Gateway Plaza). But according to Raleigh Magazine, that’s not quite the case. While Stanbury isn’t expanding, the team is launching an entirely new concept in the space—new name, new menu—led by Stanbury chef Drew Maykuth. And honestly, that might be even more exciting. Look for an opening sometime next year. In the meantime, give Stanbury a follow. |
