10K Steps Is a Myth–Try This Instead

Cary Real Estate Market Trends
May was the hottest month of the year — June is opening just as strong
May's final numbers are in and they're striking. The median price hit $640K with homes moving in just 6–7 days — the fastest pace of 2026.
The most urgent signal: new listings dropped 16.9%, meaning fewer sellers are entering the market just as buyer demand is peaking. That supply squeeze is pushing prices up and cutting decision windows dramatically.
North Cary premium neighborhoods — Lochmere, Chatham Ridges, Kildaire — are selling in 5–7 days at $700K+, with move-up families from South Cary competing with executives relocating from downtown Raleigh.
June historically brings modest inventory increases as spring sellers list, but demand also peaks as families race to close before school starts. This is the most competitive stretch of the year — act accordingly with every client.

The Answer to the Cary Spotlight Hook Trivia Question 👇👇👇
A: Zero
You said: What color eggs do peacocks lay?Peacocks do not lay eggs because the term "peacock" specifically refers to the male of the species. Instead, the female peahen lays eggs that vary from buff-white, warm beige, and light brown to a pale pinkish-tan, occasionally featuring minimal dark speckling or freckling. Both males and females are collectively known as peafowl.
