The Pecan Street Index

North Carolina housing-market dispatches

City- and metro-level reads across North Carolina, from The Pecan Street Index.

Asheville, NC · 2026-06-29

Asheville avg sale price fell back under $500K — now $490K

Dropping back below $500K re-opens a buyer pool that had been priced out — and puts sellers on notice that the last few months' comps are no longer defensible.

Raleigh Cary, NC · 2026-06-29

Wake Forest avg sale price crossed $500K — now $526K

Crossing $500K is a narrative hinge — buyer shopping-by-price bands and seller list-price anchoring both reset when a market moves past a round number.
