The report uses Doorify MLS Residential listing records labeled City = Cary and StateOrProvince = NC, limited to single-family residences, townhouses and condos at all prices and bedroom counts. The MLS labels do not necessarily match Cary's incorporated town boundaries. A property can have more than one listing record, so sold-listing counts do not necessarily represent unique property transfers or every sale within town limits.
Monthly sales use the calendar month in which the sale closed. The latest figures come from the most recent fully refreshed, completed month; the incomplete current month is excluded. The charts show the latest 6 or 12 completed months, optionally compared with the matching calendar months one year earlier. The accessible table retains all 24 completed months. Year-over-year comparisons are not formally seasonally adjusted. For-sale and under-contract snapshots have separate check times and are not month-end inventory figures.
Median sold price is the middle sale price among qualifying closed listing records with valid positive sale prices. Changes in the median can reflect differences in the types, sizes and prices of homes sold, not necessarily changes in the value of comparable homes.
Counts from 1 through 4 are hidden; a true zero is shown as 0. Each median or percentage requires at least 10 valid observations for that measure, including within individual home-type rows. Median sold prices require at least 10 valid positive sale prices. Related totals or sample counts may also be hidden if they would reveal a suppressed small count, such as the number of closed listings without a valid sale price. Hidden does not mean zero. Figures are withheld when data access, coverage or freshness cannot be confirmed.
Under contract means a sale has been agreed to but hasn't closed. The report does not provide neighborhood-level statistics, historical inventory or months of supply. These figures cannot by themselves establish a buyer's or seller's market, determine an individual property's value or predict future prices.
The home-type rows show current for-sale counts alongside the latest completed month's sold-listing counts, median sold prices and median calendar days to contract.
For listings that closed during that month, median days to contract measures calendar days from the reported OnMarketDate to PurchaseContractDate. Records qualify only when the on-market date is on or before the contract date and the contract date is on or before the closing date. Missing or invalid dates are excluded; zero days is valid. Off-market intervals are not subtracted, and earlier relistings are not combined. This is not MLS days on market (DOM/CDOM), an estimate of how long currently active homes will take to sell or a prediction.
For closed listings with valid positive ClosePrice and ListPrice values, the sale-to-asking percentage is the median of each listing's ClosePrice divided by ListPrice, multiplied by 100. It is not a ratio of median prices. The below-asking percentage is the share of these eligible listings whose ClosePrice is lower than ListPrice. ListPrice is the asking price recorded on the closed listing, which may differ from its original asking price. Neither measure accounts for concessions, credits or incentives.
For current Active listings with valid positive ListPrice and OriginalListPrice values, the price-reduction percentage is the share whose current asking price is below the original recorded asking price. This compares the two recorded prices, not the number of reductions during a month, individual price-change events or the listing's complete price history.
