Head toward Wendell, Garner, Fuquay-Varina, Rolesville, or Knightdale and that budget can land you 2,800+ sq ft, often new construction. Shop in Cary, Apex, or Holly Springs and the same $500K buys under 2,000 sq ft, usually an older resale.
Location vs. space, that’s the real trade-off in this market right now.
