A few notable trends:
- Median sale price dipped slightly from $470,000 to $465,000
- Four transactions exceeded $30 million, including Capital Marketplace in Raleigh ($80.6M)
- Transaction volume increased month-over-month
- Lending activity cooled modestly, with deed of trust recordings down from April
The takeaway? While pricing appears to be stabilizing, transaction activity across Wake County remains active, particularly in the investment and commercial sectors.
As always, watching transaction volume can often tell us as much about market health as pricing alone.
