The Cost of Carrboro Real Estate

Of the 12 detached homes being offered for sale in the Triangle MLS, the average price per square foot is $149 per square foot. The average house size is over 2000 square feet and the average price for a home available today in the Carrboro real estate market is $298,000.

Does a family really need 2000 sq/ft to 'roam' in their home? Personally, I feel if 2000+ sq/ft is what your family feels comfortable in-go for it. In fact I love a home with a open, spacious master bedroom with a walk-in closet and fabulous master bath.

Is a home in Carrboro really worth $149 a square foot? Sure. In fact, lots of people spend lots of money for the opportunity to live in our town. What's not to love? The Chapel Hill/Carrboro Schools are excellent, our local co-op grocery is the best place to spend a Thursday night, and our downtown is full of local business you can't find anywhere else in the state.

So as you continue the hunt for a home in Carrboro, don't lose sight of one of the most important goals throughout your real esate transaction: to become a member of our Carrboro Community. Trust me, once you move in, you'll be glad you did.
