The Raleigh housing market has been slowly catching fire over the past decade, fully igniting over the past few years.
Raleigh is the second-most populous city in North Carolina — the population has increased over the past 20 years from just under 300,000 to over 470,000 residents — and also happens to be one of the fastest growing cities in the United States. At one point, Raleigh was also named the second-most educated city in America, with over half of its residents holding at least a bachelor’s degree.
Those who call Raleigh a college town are spot-on, as Raleigh is home to at least 11 major colleges, including North Carolina State University. The city is within an hour’s drive of both Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, making it neutral ground for Blue Devils and Tar Heels fans alike.
Raleigh, though, is known for more than just brains and basketball; it’s also a great place to find smoked “whole hog” barbecue, complete with signature vinegar and pepper-based glaze.
Home values in the area have jumped over 29% in the past year, way faster than the national growth rate of 19%, according to Zillow.
If you’re thinking of buying property in Raleigh, you’ll want to check out our assessment of the homebuying, demographic, and market trends in the area.
The Raleigh housing market has been hot and median home prices are projected to continue to rise in the coming year, according to price data, forecasting Raleigh real estate trends, from Zillow.
Despite a slower increase in home sales in 2021 relative to 2020, the steady rise in home prices and continued decrease in the average amount of days listings spend on the market, may signal a housing market that has more room to run.
Homes sold on the real estate market in Raleigh typically close around 4% above the listing price and typically spend around 51 days on the market before an offer is accepted.

Prospective homebuyers will need to be vigilant if they hope to buy a house in 2022, as data from Zillow shows that home prices are likely to increase at a faster rate in the coming year.
Currently, the average home in Raleigh spends around 33 days on the market before it’s snapped up, so homebuyers shopping for a house in the interim may finally have some breathing room.
Raleigh households tend to be wealthier and more educated than the United States as a whole. This is possibly due to its proximity to some of the most prestigious educational institutions in the South.
In fact, UNC, North Carolina State University, Duke University and their affiliate health systems all rank among the top 10 employers in the greater Raleigh-Wake County metropolitan area.
As the state capital of North Carolina, Raleigh offers a solid foundation of government jobs through the State of North Carolina, Wake County and the City of Raleigh. In recent years, the city and its surrounding areas have also seen major growth in professional services, including tech, healthcare and financial services.
In fact, Raleigh has developed a reputation as a rapidly developing tech hub in the South. The city was rated number one in job growth in STEM-related industries (science, technology, engineering and mathematics); it also ranked number two in growth of technology jobs, second only to Austin, Texas.
Major tech companies like International Business Machines, Red Hat Inc. (a subsidiary of IBM) and Cisco Systems all house major branches in and around Raleigh, and each location employs thousands of Raleigh residents.
