As of April 30, 2026, the average closed home value in Raleigh’s 27607 zip code is $960,313. The median list price for active inventory sits at $500,000, reflecting a mix of high-end properties near North Carolina State University and Ridgewood Shopping Center, and more affordable townhouses and smaller homes in nearby neighborhoods. Prices have remained relatively flat over the last year. Using data from the Triangle MLS (TMLS) 19 homes closed in April 2026, compared to 13 homes the year prior.  

While the average sale price is high, 27607 is a 'split' market. Properties in the Coley Forest, University Park, Wilmont, Sunset Hills and Ridgewood neighborhoods command a premium, driven by larger lots in neighborhoods with mature landscaping and great curb appeal.  The Meredith Woods and Inside Wade townhouses are more homogeneous neighborhoods feature smaller lots, and sell for much less.  These lower priced properties allow buyers an opportunity to enjoy the same great local amenities and convenience more comfortably.
