GROUNDED DATA PROTOCOL:
Manual audit of Single-Family detached resale inventory only; new construction excluded. Prices reflect the 437 active listings on the market September 15, 2026. Days on market reflect the 154 listings currently under contract — the homes buyers actually chose.
| Zip | Avg Price (Active) | Med Price (Active) | Avg DOM (Pending) | Med DOM (Pending) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 27522 | $436,871 | $337,000 | 67 Days | 60 Days |
| 27525 | $431,125 | $374,750 | 53 Days | 47 Days |
| 27587 | $702,199 | $599,000 | 53 Days | 29 Days |
| 27596 | $510,405 | $465,000 | 36 Days | 26 Days |
Grounded Perspective
Pricing: Three of four zips gained, which no other tier managed this cycle. Franklinton (27525) led at $374,750, up $7,250, with Youngsville (27596) up $6,000 to $465,000. Creedmoor (27522) eased $3,000 to $337,000. Wake Forest (27587), which alone accounts for 274 of this tier’s active listings, finished within $900 of where it started at $599,000.
Velocity: Still the slowest tier in the audit at 41 days, and the least changed — all four zips finished within two days of where they started. Creedmoor is the bottleneck at 60 days to contract, up 2. Franklinton sits at 47, up 1. Wake Forest held at 29 on a 92-listing pending pool, the steadiest large zip in the audit, and Youngsville improved a day to 26.
The Bottom Line
437 active against 154 pending. Wake Forest is doing the work — nearly two-thirds of this tier’s inventory and three-fifths of its contracts — while Creedmoor and Franklinton continue to clear slowly.
