Resale

In the current Raleigh market, new construction and resale homes are trading at nearly the same median price — $450,767 for new construction versus $451,367 for resale in the Raleigh-Cary area. But the list price is only the starting point. Builders are offering $10,000 to $30,000 in incentives and rate buydowns, while resale sellers are offering concessions on roughly half of all transactions. Which side gives you more depends on your timeline, your location priorities, and how you weigh short-term savings against long-term value.
