Over the past year appreciation is modestly positive (~5% year-over-year) and about 25% over five years, indicating steady, longer-term growth rather than extreme volatility. Average days on market for similar single-family homes is approximately 30 days, reflecting persistent buyer demand, particularly from families attracted to top-rated Wake County schools and access to greenways. For sellers, this environment supports pricing with confidence; for buyers, success typically requires clear financing and quick decision-making.
