| 27612 | $865,510 | $700,000 | 32 Days | 23 Days |
| 27613 | $1,158,162 | $729,500 | 22 Days | 9 Days |

Grounded Perspective
Pricing: The spread between average and median prices remains the defining feature of this sector. In 27613, the average active list price sits at roughly $1.16 million against a $729,500 median. That gap comes from a substantial luxury shelf that includes several listings north of $3 million. The same pattern holds in 27614, which carries the highest median in the group at $832,500 on the strength of its estate inventory around Wakefield and Falls River. At the accessible end of the audit, 27615 posts the lowest median at $650,000, keeping North Ridge and Bent Tree among the more attainable entries into established North Raleigh.
Velocity: These timelines are measured from the homes currently under contract, the listings whose price and presentation actually matched the buyer market. By that measure, correctly positioned homes are still moving briskly: the median in 27613 is just 9 days, and 27612 and 27615 both sit under three weeks. The averages run meaningfully higher than the medians in every zip, which tells the honest second half of the story: for every home that goes under contract in its first weekend, another sits for two or three months before finding its number.
The Bottom Line
Midtown and North Raleigh enter mid-summer with 255 active detached resale listings across these four zip codes against 150 under contract, with active medians ranging from $650,000 to $832,500. Homes that hit the market prepared and priced to the data are still commanding contracts in one to three weeks; everything else is accumulating days on a growing shelf of alternatives. In this environment, positioning and preparation are worth more than optimism.
