Grounded Perspective
Pricing: Wake Forest (27587) keeps the deepest bench of any zip in this entire audit at 267 active resales, narrowly ahead of Southwest Wake’s Fuquay-Varina (259). Its $599,900 median is essentially flat from two weeks ago. Youngsville (27596) eased to $459,000, Franklinton (27525) slipped to $367,500, and Creedmoor (27522) fell to $340,000 — now the lowest median of any zip in the whole audit.
Velocity: Youngsville sped up notably, down to a 27-day median from 38 last cycle. Wake Forest held steady at 29. Franklinton jumped to a 46-day median from 28, and Creedmoor remains the tier’s slowest at 58.
The Bottom Line
421 active against 161 pending. Creedmoor’s slide to the cheapest median in the entire audit, paired with one of its slowest paces, suggests sellers there need to reset expectations rather than wait it out.
