Grounded Perspective
Pricing: Apex (27502) gained $25,000 to $674,900. Apex/Friendship (27523) fell $107,900 to $1,020,000, the second-largest drop in this cycle, on 33 active listings — enough to take seriously, but that zip carries the widest price spread in the tier. Fuquay-Varina (27526) held exactly flat at $475,000 across 243 listings, and Holly Springs (27540) eased $10,000 to $650,000.
Velocity: Steady at 23 days, effectively unchanged from 22, and third-fastest in the audit. Fuquay-Varina improved to 32 days from 38 — meaningful on an 85-listing pending pool, the largest in the audit. Holly Springs slipped to 19 days from 16 and Apex to 21 from 17, both still fast. Apex/Friendship held at 18.
The Bottom Line
494 active against 187 pending. The busiest tier in the audit by contract volume, and the one where the numbers moved least — volume without drama.
