The Census value is owners' own estimate, and the FHFA index covers the whole metro area (Raleigh-Cary, NC), not Cary alone. Moving a 2024 city median forward by a metro index is an estimate, and the projection carries two trends forward; it isn't a call on the next turn. For a specific ZIP code, use Predictye Property.
