Cary Real Estate Market Trends

Peak spring is here — inventory up, but demand absorbing it

We're now at the heart of Cary's strongest selling window. The median sale price is holding at $620K — up 6.9% over the past two years — and homes are averaging 2 offers per listing with a sale-to-list ratio of 97.9%.

Active inventory remains elevated at 708+ listings, but the market is absorbing supply efficiently: DOM sits at 35–41 days, firmly in balanced-to-seller territory. Bankrate data confirms the best time to buy in Cary is January (98.4% list) and best time to sell is November (99.4% list) — which means sellers listing today are in the prime run-up window.

A 2–4% appreciation forecast for 2026 remains intact, supported by continued population growth and corporate anchors like Epic Games and SAS.
