Market Data
Triangle Market Intelligence Center
Compare major Triangle markets using one consistent methodology. Each figure includes a reporting period, source, and refresh date so you can distinguish measurable trends from general impressions.
Latest published period: May 2026 Data reviewed: October 12, 2026 90-day rolling · All Residential
Published period: May 2026Dataset reviewed: October 12, 2026
The dataset was reviewed recently, but the source's latest published reporting period still has a lag. That is why each metric is period-labeled and is not presented as live MLS data.

From data to decision
Use market data as context, not the final answer
The same market can behave differently by price point, property type and objective. Use these three paths to move from broad context to a specific decision.
I'm buying
Compare areas, model buying capacity, then validate live MLS inventory.
Plan my purchaseI'm selling
Use city trends as context, then rely on a property-specific CMA for pricing strategy.
Plan my saleI'm investing
Combine market context with property-level rent, expenses, financing and exit assumptions.
Analyze investmentsMethodology
The center uses a rolling 90-day window and All Residential to keep city comparisons consistent. Data is refreshed from Redfin's public dataset; a property-specific CMA or MLS analysis can produce different figures by neighborhood, property type or price segment.
These figures are informational and are not an appraisal, CMA, investment recommendation or guarantee of future results.
Sources & transparency
Redfin Data Center is the source used for the displayed metrics. Doorify MLS and Realtor.com Economic Research are linked as additional references for local analysis and context validation.
