Raleigh Home Buying Window Closing: What May 2026 Data Shows
Raleigh home buying window closing conversations picked up after Cotality’s May 2026 data showed national home price growth reaccelerating to 0.8% annually, the first uptick in two years. Kevin Martini and Logan Martini of Martini Mortgage Group break down why the reacceleration is uneven, what it does and does not mean for Wake County and the Triangle, and how a first-time buyer should weigh the cost of waiting against today’s still-available negotiating room. The data does not point to a spike, but it does point to a narrowing window.
