The five highest-priced home sales reported in the Raleigh, North Carolina, metro area for the week ending October 4, 2026, totaled $15.06 million. All five were in Wake County: two in Raleigh, two in Wake Forest and one in Cary.
Three of the five are new construction, and the group runs from a traditional brick estate on a golf course to a three-story Craftsman-influenced home on nearly two acres of woods.
No. 1 — $5,233,320 · 4909 Foxridge Dr, Raleigh, North Carolina
The week’s top sale comes from Shadow Creek Estates, a private community off Durant Road in North Raleigh where Loyd Builders is the designer, developer and builder. The community’s natural landscape takes in a creek and stands of pine trees, and its 31 estate homesites average 1.25 acres.
The home at 4909 Foxridge Drive was built in 2025 on one wooded acre with hardwood trees. It is a two-story traditional design finished in brick and fiber cement, with four bedrooms, seven bathrooms and 6,710 square feet of living space. The primary suite is on the main floor, and an elevator serves the home. The property last sold for $695,000 in 2024, before the current house was built.
An entrance foyer leads into an open floor plan with high ceilings, coffered ceilings, crown molding and built-in bookcases over hardwood floors. The kitchen, combined with the dining area, has an island, quartz and granite counters, a pantry and a butler’s pantry. A gas fireplace warms the family room.
Outdoor living is generous. The home has front and rear porches, screened space and a balcony, and the backyard plan includes an outdoor kitchen with a gas grill and a fire pit. The community has security.
The home went under contract the same day it was listed and sold for $5,233,320, which was $447,140 above its asking price of $4.79 million. Christina Valkanoff of Christina Valkanoff Realty Group was the listing agent, and Kendall Clark of Choice Residential Real Estate represented the buyer.

The property last sold for $595,000 in 2024, before the current house was built.
Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances and custom inset cabinetry fill the kitchen, and a scullery adds prep space and storage. The living areas open onto a porch enclosed with phantom screens, where a fully equipped outdoor kitchen makes the space usable in every season. The builder used aluminum-clad casement windows and full spray-foam insulation, and the custom front door is fitted with electrified privacy glass.
The home sold $75,000 above its asking price of $3.25 million. Jim Allen of Coldwell Banker HPW was the listing agent, and Nicolle Lyn Schneider of Choice Residential Real Estate represented the buyer.

In the Preston community of Cary, an all-brick traditional home from 1996 sits on a golf course lot at 304 Pond Bluff Way. It sold for $2,750,000. A circular driveway and landscaped grounds set off the front, and sliders from the family room open to a patio with an outdoor fireplace and wide views of the course.
The home has four bedrooms, six bathrooms and 5,771 square feet. Hardwood floors cover the main level, and the kitchen is built around an oversized island, with a Wolf gas range, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and two dishwashers.

A room over the garage has its own full bath and a wet bar, along with surround sound speakers and prewiring for a movie projector and screen.

Solid mahogany double doors open onto white oak floors laid in a herringbone pattern, and ceilings rise past ten feet on the main level.
In the family room, solid oak beams cross an 11-foot ceiling, and four-panel sliders lead to a covered porch with a Phantom retractable screen. A see-through fireplace on that porch is shared with the primary suite. The kitchen centers on an 11-foot quartz island with a waterfall edge, and it has a JennAir 48-inch gas range and a walk-in scullery with a grocery scuttle.
