Best In North Carolina Real Estate™: The Triangle

🏆 31.2% of Triangle Cities Now Have Median Home Values Above $500,000 — ALEX Intelligence, 2026. This isn’t just a price trend — it’s a structural shift in who can live in the Research Triangle. Only five of 16 cities now fall above the $500K threshold, and the gap is widening. The same tech jobs, corporate expansions, and infrastructure investments that are fueling growth are also pricing out new residents. This is not a temporary spike — it’s a filter. The market is no longer about affordability; it’s about access.
