July 2025 Top Real Estate Sales and Market Conditions for Holly Springs, Apex, and Fuquay-Varina

South Wake Housing Market Cools Sharply year-over-year; Prices Hold in Select Areas

[July’s top sales for Holly Springs, Apex, and Fuquay-Varina are listed below.]

Holly Springs, NC, Aug. 6, 2025 — Analysis of Wake County real estate property data for the South Wake housing market—covering Holly Springs, Apex, and Fuquay-Varina—has revealed a sharp drop in July sales compared to a year earlier, signaling a cooling phase after an unusually hot summer in 2024. Area‑wide sales fell nearly 60%, from 366 homes in July 2024 to 148 this year. This steep decline contrasts with the national market, where year‑over‑year sales were relatively flat, and reflects the comedown from last year’s elevated activity levels.

Despite fewer transactions, prices remained resilient in much of the region. The overall South Wake median sale price rose 4.6% from $555,000 to $580,500, though the average dipped slightly from $618,114 to $599,642, suggesting a shift in the mix of homes sold.

Holly Springs saw the most dramatic change—sales plunged 91% (75 to 7), but prices soared. The average rose from $705,060 to $793,157, and the median jumped from $700,000 to $859,600, indicating activity concentrated at the high end.
Apex sales dropped 52% (168 to 80), with the average price falling from $654,997 to $623,730 while the median edged up from $595,000 to $609,500, showing softness at the top but stability in the mid‑market.
Fuquay‑Varina saw sales cut in half (123 to 61), the average price increase from $512,581 to $545,844, and the median slip slightly from $482,500 to $475,000, pointing to more higher‑end transactions despite a weaker middle tier.

Overall, South Wake’s steeper declines in volume—compared to state and national trends—reflect a market cooling from last year’s overheated conditions. Elevated mortgage interest rates and broader economic uncertainty are also weighing on buyer demand, contributing to slower sales even as prices in some towns, particularly Holly Springs, remain strong. The region appears to be rebalancing from peak activity, with demand more selective and concentrated than a year ago.
