Welcome to the Southern Wake County Real Estate Blog. This blog will primarily focus on Southern Wake County but periodically I will have information on other parts of Wake County as well as Harnett County, Johnston County and Chatham County. As a real estate agent, most of my real estate experience has been in Southern Wake County so that is where I have gained my real estate knowledge. A couple of times a week I will add articles about the features, pricing and amenities of new subdivision, commercial and retail development as well as government information (new roads, annexation updates, etc). Please feel free to add to my blog or make request for information about subdivisions, retails, governmental issues or other real estate issues.

Southern Wake County is developing by leaps and bounds since Cary and Apex are running out of land to build on. From State Road 1010 to the southern boarder of Wake County, homes are popping up everywhere. Cary is annexing new subdivisions to the south and west of the current city limits as they are being built and added to the towns water and sewer system. Holly Springs is developing their downtown area in a village theme and approving more communities and retail within their town limits. Fuquay Varina is a busy town with retail, eating establishments and communities springing up in the city limits and just outside the city limits everyday. The widening of Hwy 55 to 4 lanes most of the distance from Fuquay Varina, on the by pass around Holly Springs, through Apex and Cary, made the drive from these communities to Research Triangle Park a shorter commute and fueled the development of these areas.

In Southern Wake County, one can find new homes starting at $130,000 and up and resale homes starting at $110,000 and up. Custom homes can also be found in abundance in Southern Wake County starting in the high $200,000s and going up to $2,000,000. The homes that are in the city limits are on lots that are .10-acre lots up to maybe .33-acre lots and on city water and sewer. Larger lots can be found outside of the city limits and usually have private or community wells and private septic tanks. Many of the communities offer amenities such as a community pool or community ponds and parks. Southern Wake County offers a community for everyone to enjoy.

My next couple of articles will be featuring subdivisions: amenities, homebuilders, special features, pricing and more. Please come back and visit my blog for more details on communities in Southern Wake County.
