Raleigh-Cary has secured the #1 spot in North Carolina’s median home value rankings, with a median of $418,400, according to ALEX Intelligence’s 2026 data release. This is not a temporary spike — it’s a structural shift driven by sustained in-migration, high-value employment, and constrained supply. How can new development models break this cycle?
