Apex, NC Realtors

Redfin put the Apex median sale price at $621,662 for the three months ending June 2026, down 2.1% year over year, with a median of 32 days on market and about two offers per home. Sellers still closed near their asking price at roughly 99.2% of list. The practical read is that correctly priced homes move and overpriced ones wait, which is a different market from the one Apex had in 2021.

Most Apex parcels pay a combined $0.9106 per $100 of assessed value for FY2026-27, made up of the Wake County rate of $0.5371 and the Town of Apex rate of $0.3735. On a $621,662 home that works out to about $5,661 a year. Both rates rose for this fiscal year, with the town moving from 35.6 cents to 37.35 cents, so budget from the current rate rather than a prior-year bill. Wake County reappraises property effective January 1, 2027, which will reset assessed values before rates are next set.

Redfin put the median sale price for the three months ending June 2026 at $621,662 in Apex, $645,149 in Cary and $629,657 in Holly Springs. Apex was the least expensive of the three by median, and all three softened slightly year over year. Because the medians land within about 4% of each other, the decision usually comes down to commute, the specific subdivision and what is actually listed the week you are shopping rather than to price.

Wake County Public School System assigns every address a base school, and Apex addresses fall to schools including Apex Elementary, Apex Friendship Elementary, Apex Middle, Apex Friendship Middle, Apex High and Apex Friendship High. The detail buyers miss is that a base school can be capped, and a capped assignment sends new students to a designated overflow school instead. Confirm the current assignment for the exact address through WCPSS enrollment rather than relying on a listing description, because assignments change as new schools open.

There is no standard rate, and commissions in North Carolina are negotiable and set in writing between you and your agent. A buyer signs a written agreement covering their agent's compensation before touring homes, and a seller agrees to a listing fee separately, so the two are negotiated as separate items. Ask what the fee covers, including photography, staging guidance and the marketing that runs while the home is listed. Call 919-249-8536 and we will quote our fee for your situation directly.
