The May housing market brought something buyers haven't had in a while: options.
Here's what stood out across the Triangle:
• Median sales price: $416,829 — essentially unchanged from this time last year.
• Median days to close: 22 days, giving buyers a little more breathing room than we've seen in recent years.
• Active inventory: 11,509 homes, up nearly 9% year over year, meaning more homes to compare and less pressure to make snap decisions.
• Median price per square foot: $210, a slight dip that's worth watching as the market continues to shift.
What does this mean?
The market isn't crashing, and it's not as frenzied as it was a few years ago. We're seeing a healthier balance where buyers have more choices and sellers still benefit from steady home values.
The biggest advantage right now isn't timing the market it's making informed decisions with better data and more inventory available.
If you're wondering what these trends mean for your neighborhood or your buying or selling plans, let's talk. Every market is local, and your strategy should be too.

Thinking about moving to Durham, NC… but not sure if it’s actually the right fit for your life?
I just put together two things that I wish I had when I first got here:
✨ A quick quiz: “Is Durham Right for You?”
✨ A deeper blog post breaking down what’s really shifting in cities right now—and why Durham keeps showing up as one of the most resilient places in the country
Because here’s the thing…
Not every “fast-growing” city is built to last. And not every city that’s a little quieter is falling behind.
Durham is doing something different. Slower. More intentional. And honestly… more sustainable.
If you’re in that early “maybe we should move” phase—or even narrowing things down—this will give you clarity (not just hype).
✨ Start with the quiz

📖 Then read the full breakdown

And if you take the quiz, I’d love to hear what you got 👀

New podcast episode is live ✨
If you’re buying a home in North Carolina, you need to understand how inspections actually work here.
North Carolina is a caveat emptor state — which means buyer beware. Homes are sold as-is, and inspections are one of your most important protection tools.
In this episode, we break down:
• What a North Carolina home inspection includes
• What inspectors actually look for
• How negotiations work after the report
• When to ask for repairs or credits
• And yes… the wildest things we’ve ever seen at inspections 👀
If you’re relocating to Durham or anywhere in the Triangle, this is essential viewing before you go under contract.
Watch the full episode and let me know your questions below.

This one didn’t linger long. A quiet, tree-lined setting, thoughtful design, and just the right balance of space and warmth made it an easy yes. Homes like this tend to find their people quickly, especially when they offer privacy, beauty, and a little breathing room from the noise.
Grateful for my clients and the trust they place in me through every step of the process. Onward to due diligence and closing day 🌿🏡

1013 Forrestal Place is officially spoken for. This Omstead I Farmhouse charmer, complete with a porch made for sweet tea afternoons, a screened porch for year-round living, and a dreamy primary suite with a closet that truly delivers, has found its people. From the open, light-filled kitchen to the flexible upstairs bonus space and the blank-slate backyard, it’s easy to see why this one didn’t last long. We couldn’t be happier for the future homeowners.
If you love this layout, there are still great options including the opportunity to build this plan on Lot 2

B Wallace is back on Bivins and is delivering the goods, this time with the Omstead I!! Prairie Contemporary build. The house is sited nicely on a nearly 3 acre lot while being a mere 20 minute drive to all things downtown Durham. The only party animal (neighbors) nearby are the goats that live across the road. Don’t worry, they go to bed early. Inside, the house offers an ample five bedroom, 3.5 bath floor plan, which can accommodate a variety of residential needs. The first floor features an open floor plan that will be dreamy for entertaining or hugely practical for those needing unimpeded sight lines on less trustworthy (little/ furry) household members. Upstairs, you’ll find the spacious primary suite along with a bathroom big enough for the most hectic of Monday morning preparations. A swoon-worthy closet can easily handle all four seasons, and even has a window for assessing looks without giving the dreaded fluorescent lighting ‘just got over the flu’ skin tone. The second floor also features two additional bedrooms, and a smaller room that could serve as a flex space or office. This house is perfect for someone wanting more rural vibes in their home lives without foregoing convenient access to urban areas.

Hi everyone. I created a YouTube Community specifically for people relocating to Durham and the Triangle.
If you’re considering a move, planning a visit, or just trying to figure out whether this area fits your life, this space is for you. You can ask questions, share what you’re navigating, and help shape the content I create next.
Tell me where you’re moving from, what’s drawing you here, or what you’re still unsure about. I’d love to know what would actually be helpful for you right now.
