The wider Raleigh area
The FHFA House Price Index, which tracks repeat sales of the same homes, rose 1.1% in the Raleigh-Cary metro area from the second quarter of 2025 to the second quarter of 2026, and 45% over five years. The FHFA index covers the whole metro area and only homes with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac mortgages, so it moves differently from the town figure.

The Census Bureau’s 2023 American Community Survey five-year estimates put the median value of owner-occupied homes in Holly Springs at $485,500 and median household income at $132,435. The survey averages five years of responses, so it trails the market.
