What recent foreclosure notices do and do not mean for your decision
You are deciding whether distressed properties change your view of the market. In Apex, NC, the most recent count is small, so I do not treat it as a broad-market signal by itself.
Looking at recent distressed activity, there were three distressed properties shown recently, each listed as a notice of foreclosure sale. No pricing outcomes for those distressed entries were reported. That matters because people often overreact to a headline. Some metrics were not reported for this period. Even so, with only three distressed properties shown, the practical move is to treat distress as a property-by-property opportunity or risk, not as a blanket statement about all homes in Apex, NC. If you are buying, keep your focus on the homes that fit your needs and budget, and treat distressed situations as higher-complexity options that require careful review of condition and timeline. If you are selling, do not let a small distressed count spook your pricing anchor to the recent closed behavior and negotiation norms. In Apex, NC, I recommend you make decisions from the broader market numbers, not from a handful of unusual cases.
