Cary, NC, Jul. 4, 2026 — Wake County’s typical home price dipped slightly in May, down $5,000 to $465,000, even as more homes sold than the month before (3,247 vs. 3,193) — a sign of a steady, active market rather than a slowdown. Borrowing activity cooled a bit, too, with property-secured loans down from April but roughly level with a year ago.

Cary held up well against that backdrop: 193 homes sold in May with a median price of $595,000, about $130,000 above the county median, and an average price of $675,409 pulled up by several sales over $1.5 million. Prices ranged from $500 (a family property transfer, not a market sale) up to $2,275,000, underscoring that Cary’s high end stayed strong even as countywide prices eased.
