Cary has shifted to buyer-friendly territory

Days on market have nearly doubled year-over-year. Inventory is up over 20%, homes are selling at 97.9% of asking price, and price reductions have climbed from 54.7% to 61% of listings. Median list prices hold around $635K — but sellers are negotiating. Modest appreciation of 2–4% is forecast for 2026, driven by corporate anchors like Epic Games and SAS and continued population growth. Spring (Feb–July) remains the strongest selling window.

Sellers: this is normalization, not a crash

If a seller client expresses concern about market softness, use this framing: "What we're seeing in Cary is a normalization after years of extreme competition — not a downturn. Inventory is rising moderately, homes are still selling above 97% of asking, and 174 homes sold in January alone — up 35% from last year. Buyers have more options, but demand hasn't left. Strong pricing strategy matters more now than it did in 2022." This positions you as calm, data-driven, and trustworthy.

Sponsor or attend a Cary community event this month

Cary's community identity is a major draw for relocating buyers — from DC, New York, and Fayetteville, according to Redfin migration data. Show up where your market shows up. Consider sponsoring a local 5K, farmers market booth, or neighborhood HOA event. Even a simple branded presence at a town park, greenway trailhead, or school event reinforces that you're not just selling Cary — you live it. Take a photo, tag the Town of Cary, and post it. Community = credibility.
