An Overview of Recent Wake County Area Real Estate Activity
Here’s an overview of recent activity that you should be aware of if you’re trying to sell your home. Data was pulled from the Triangle Multiple Listing Service:

- Year-to-date, the local housing market’s sales are up 4.5 percent when compared to the same period last year.
- And the average home sales price was up 3.5 percent.
- The Triangle region’s Housing Affordability Index was at 157, which is up 1 percent from last year. This number basically means that the household median income is 157 percent of what is necessary to qualify for the median-priced home in the region. The higher the number, the better the affordability.
