2nd Quarter Market Update 2023

We are still seeing low inventories across our market; however, we are beginning to see a more balanced market, and even a slight buyer’s market at higher price points and with some new construction. Keep in mind, often new construction is listed at time of permit, so our “Active” numbers are a little skewed as “active” does not necessarily mean “available” for quite some time. Price/square foot has decreased over the last year due to an increase in new construction inventory; re-sale homes are still highly competitive as they are usually on larger lots and ready for immediate move-in.
 
I believe our local housing market is going to continue to be robust despite rising rates. We still have such a surplus of people moving into the entire Triangle area. Buyers right now are coming from all over the country in addition we always have local renters, empty nesters, and growing families staying locally in Fuquay-Varina. Please consider Front Porch Realty YOUR LOCAL go to real estate company and follow all of our social media!

MARKET UPDATE YEAR-END 2022 | SW WAKE COUNTY

Happy New Year!
 
Just when we thought real estate in the Triangle could not surprise us anymore! 2023 brings us a much slower-paced market with months of inventory just beginning to look slightly balanced. Our buyers slowed way down; I believe partly because they were priced right out of the market with the rising interest rates as well as out of an abundance of caution.  Rents are high, but house payments are even higher.  I believe buyers at every life stage took a step back and are cautiously analyzing what is important to them in their household. Despite that, the Triangle is continuing to experience record growth which will continue to bring the buyers to our area. We will continue to see a shortage of re-sale homes as those re-sale owners that have refinanced are choosing not to go anywhere.

Welcome Home to 3812 Bostwyck Dr, Fuquay-Varina

Welcome to 3812 Bostwyck Drive, Fuquay-Varina, NC, 27526

This ALL BRICK custom-built home sits in the perfect North Fuquay-Varina location on a beautiful and private 3/4 acre wooded lot.

We asked our homeowner to let us know what made them choose this home and the Southwyck neighborhood so we wanted to share with you what we learned!

“What first attracted you to your home?”

All brick home, hardwood floors on the first floor, the open floor plan, and a beautiful wooded lot that backs up to a creek. Inside features hardwood floors on the first floor. The location is unbeatable! Great schools for our kids to attend and outside of City limits!

Any memories in your home that you would like to share with your buyer?

Sitting in the sunroom or on the screened porch, watching the beautiful sunsets. Enjoyed watching the kids play in the backyard and the creek!

What would you consider your homes best selling feature?

The house is all brick and sits on a wooded lot, even more so the houses do not sit on top of each other in this neighborhood. Great location to easily get to Downtown Fuquay or to Raleigh!

Anything about the location or neighborhood of your home you would like to share?

Once 540 is finished, the home will be very close to access the outer loop! Being on the North side of town is easy access to Raleigh and RTP!
