Holly Springs (27540) moved the other direction, down to $660,000 from $683,900, while Fuquay-Varina (27526) ticked up to $475,000 and continues to carry the region’s deepest bench (259 active).

The Bottom Line
499 active against 195 pending, still the largest region in this series by volume. Apex/Friendship’s climb to a $1,127,900 median is the story here — that’s now the second-highest median of any zip in this entire audit, trailing only Village District in ITB Core.
