📊 Raleigh Real Estate Market Update | Welcome to June
As a Realtor with Linda Craft Team, REALTORS®, I monitor the Triangle-area housing market trends in real time to help buyers and sellers make informed decisions and gain an advantage in today's market.
🏡 May 2026 Theme:
"Steady Eddie" — with a slight hint of leverage shifting back toward sellers!
Here are the key highlights from the Greater Raleigh real estate market:
✅ Sales Volume increased 13% to $1.66 billion
✅ Closed Transactions increased 10% to 2,817
✅ Median Home Price rose 2.2% to $427,190
✅ Housing Inventory remained stable at 3.08 months of supply
✅ Average Days on Market held steady at 23 days
✅ 36% of all listed homes were under contract as of June 1
✅ Active Inventory increased to 14,950 homes (year's high)
✅ Sellers received an average of 99.4% of list price
💡What Does It Mean?
While economic headlines continue to focus on mortgage rates, inflation, geopolitical uncertainty, and stock market volatility, the local housing market remains remarkably resilient.
In fact, despite affordability challenges, May showed signs that buyers and sellers are adapting to the current environment rather than waiting on the sidelines.
The biggest takeaway? Real estate remains hyper-local. National headlines rarely tell the full story of what's happening in your neighborhood, price range, or specific situation.
