The Cary Home Report – Week of August 21st, 2023.

July housing data is finally in, showing an increase in median sale price. In June, the median sale price for a single-family house in Cary was $625,000. For July, it was $633,000 (an 11.5 increase from last year).

Days on the market compared to last year did not change much. Homes stayed on the market for an average of 33 days, compared to 32 days last year.

54.8% of homes sold above the list price in July. While this may seem high, that number was closer to 80% for the latter half of 2021 and the first half of 2022.
