I would watch pricing and pace together before making a move.

If you are deciding whether to act now or wait, Raleigh, NC is giving you a clear but mixed signal. Last month, a typical sale landed at $449,990 and homes were taking 28 days, so I would focus on timing and pricing together before you make a move.
Last month in Raleigh, NC, the typical sale finished at $449,990, and the usual sale timeline was 28 days. That tells me this market still rewards clean pricing, but it does not reward hesitation. For a seller, that is a cue to price with discipline and be ready for serious attention early. For a buyer, it is a reminder to move quickly on the right home without assuming every listing will sit. Watch the first two weeks closely. Set your price or offer strategy around the 28-day pace. Keep your next step simple and direct.
