This thoughtfully designed ranch offers comfortable, single-level living without compromise.

The primary suite is spacious and well-appointed with an ensuite bath; storage is plentiful across closets and built-ins. A practical mudroom/entry from the garage and a roomy laundry area simplify routines.

A factual market snapshot around 2977 Mavisbank Cir.
Apex remains one of the strongest suburban markets in the Raleigh-Cary MSA thanks to limited inventory and ongoing employment growth across RTP. At an asking price of $725,000 (~$287/SF), this home sits above town median prices but aligns with demand for newer, single-story product in top school clusters. Recent local trends show modest annual appreciation (~3–6% in the past year) and tight inventory with average DOM below 30 for well-priced homes. For buyers seeking low-maintenance, near-new construction in a family-friendly neighborhood, this property presents a compelling value; for sellers, it should draw qualified buyers quickly if priced and marketed proactively.
