The Coley Forest house that led the Raleigh metro area’s reported home sales for the week ending September 20, 2026 was still being finished when it reached the market, and its buyer was left to make some of the remaining selections. Designed by Tony Fraizer, the five-bedroom residence at 2211 Wheeler Rd closed above its asking price on September 14, 2026.
Five sales across the metro area came to $12.14 million for the week. Three carried Raleigh addresses, in Coley Forest, Anderson Heights and Lakeview Ridge, and the other two were in Cary, one of them in Copperleaf. The oldest house on the list went up in 1954 across from Carolina Country Club; the newest was completed this year.
No. 1 — $3,560,000 · 2211 Wheeler Rd, Raleigh, North Carolina
The house at 2211 Wheeler Rd closed on September 14, 2026 for $3,560,000, $85,000 above its final asking price of $3,475,000. It has five bedrooms and a reported 5,550 square feet, and the property previously changed hands for $630,000 in 2023, before the current residence was completed in 2025.
Listing materials identify Tony Fraizer as the designer. A floating staircase rises out of the entry foyer, and the primary suite sits on the main level rather than upstairs. A separate entrance at the rear of the house opens into a mudroom with a designated pet space built in beneath the stairs, and that mudroom leads to a bonus room set up to work either for entertaining or as a private study.
Four more bedrooms occupy the second floor, each with an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in closet, and a second bonus room shares the level with them. A stackable washer and dryer space was worked in under the stairs that climb to the third floor. On the main floor, sliding doors open onto a covered porch that overlooks the back yard. Coley Forest sits within the Glenwood area of Raleigh.
The $3.56 million closing placed Christina Ragsdale Gupton and Melissa Hinsdale Graham of Berkshire Hathaway HomeService on the listing side of the No. 1 transaction in RealtyWire’s Raleigh Metro Area Top 5 for the week ending September 20, 2026.

No. 2 — $2,349,000 · 2825 Claremont Rd, Raleigh, North Carolina
A 2019 custom build on Claremont Road traded for $2,349,000 on September 16, 2026, closing at its full asking price. Allure Homes built the five-bedroom house, which has five bathrooms and a reported 4,703 square feet, and the property previously changed hands for $1,342,000 in 2019.
The Anderson Heights address sits inside Raleigh’s Beltline, minutes from Midtown, North Hills and downtown Raleigh. Listing materials put unusual weight on the yard, describing a lot with room to entertain and a degree of separation from the city that is hard to come by this close in. Inside, the floor plan is arranged around daily use and working from home rather than around formal entertaining rooms.
Keller Williams Realty’s Erica Jevons Sizemore was the listing agent on a sale that went under contract 7 days after the current listing date and ranked No. 2 in RealtyWire’s Raleigh Metro Area Top 5 for the week ending September 20, 2026.

No. 4 — $2,075,000 · 2425 Argyle Dr, Raleigh, North Carolina
A brick Colonial Revival built in 1954 at 2425 Argyle Dr closed on September 18, 2026 for $2,075,000. The four-bedroom house stands directly across from Carolina Country Club on a 0.72-acre lot in Lakeview Ridge, with a circular driveway, a three-car garage, irrigation and accent lighting among the landscaping, and a reported 4,271 square feet.
A blue stone covered entry with an iron railing fronts the house, and skylights and solar tubes carry daylight through the first floor. That level holds a foyer, formal living and dining rooms, an office and the primary suite, with a vaulted kitchen and family room opening into each other. The kitchen has custom maple cabinetry, solid surface countertops, a paneled refrigerator, a wine refrigerator, a trash compactor and a Viking six-burner gas cooktop, and its floors are heated, as are those of the primary bath. The suite itself adds vaulted ceilings, a sitting room, a gas fireplace, dual walk-in closets and a bath with a jetted tub and a separate shower.
Two staircases lead up to an en-suite bedroom and two more bedrooms that share a hall bath. Four fireplaces are spread through the house, three gas and one wood-burning, among them a stacked stone fireplace in the family room, and there is first-floor laundry, updated windows, copper gutters with guards and a finished basement reached by its own stairwell, which the reported square footage does not include because of its ceiling height. Outside are a vaulted screened porch, a wood deck with a built-in gas grill and a paver patio overlooking the grounds.
The Lakeview Ridge house went under contract 9 days after the current listing date, and Marshall Rich of Rich Realty Group was the listing agent on the No. 4 sale in RealtyWire’s Raleigh Metro Area Top 5 for the week ending September 20, 2026. Lee Williams of Berkshire Hathaway HomeService represented the buyer.

Cumaru floors run through the main level, where the kitchen has a large island under a coffered ceiling, and a bench-and-cubby area with a computer niche sits off the garage entrance. The primary suite is on the first floor and has his-and-her walk-in closets.
