Best In North Carolina Real Estate™: The Triangle

Briar Chapel leads North Carolina in new-home stock with 86.0% of homes built since 2010 — the highest share in the Triangle. This data comes from ALEX Intelligence’s exclusive analysis of U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, 2024, published October 19, 2026. The report ranks cities across the Triangle metro, including Durham, Apex, Cary, and Chapel Hill, showing Briar Chapel at #1 in new construction. While newness often signals modernity and demand, it also reveals a potential oversupply of standardized housing — a trend that could affect long-term appreciation. This data reflects the Triangle’s unique shift toward planned communities.
