Just Listed in Highcroft Subdivision in West Cary North Carolina is 5712 Highcroft Drive. This is the latest best deal in West Cary; 4635 square feet, six bedrooms, four full baths, walk out basement, home is nears one of Wake Counties best elementary schools, Highcroft Drive Elementary School. This is just a super buy, seller paid $629,000 in 2007 home is severly under priced due to 540 construction (home is 300 feet from 540 through buffer). At $118 a sq ft in one of West Cary premier subdivisions this is worth the gamble that 540 will be very low impact.

There are amazing deals in Highcroft right now, there is no fundamental reason why prices are low, great homes, great location, the market is just uneasy. A great time to get a great deal.

I love this house. It was a screaming deal in June of 2008 when it went on the market, so much so I wrote this blog.

Now it is $40,000 cheaper and listed at per square foot than the neighborhood sells for on average... a perfect storm for buyers. The home is four bedrooms, three baths, finished attic, on a fantastic cul de sac, fenced yard and backs up to one of Wake County's highest performing elementary schools...for $435,000 or $119 a sq ft. A screaming deal.

502 Millsfield Drive, Cary, NC 27519. Click to see photos, this house has an amazing kitchen.

How this home compares to the rest of the West Cary Market

Highcroft is a great development in West Cary, North Carolina. It has a park, access to great biking routes, close to the Tobacco Trail & Thomas Brooks Park, and dearest to my heart a top ranked elementary school right in the center of it all! The quality of life in Highcroft is outstanding, greenways everywhere, so the dogs love it, friendly people all over.

There are currently 17 active listings in Highcroft, I have absolutely no idea why, but it has created opportunity. Twenty four months ago Highcroft sold for $140 a square foot, the trailing six month average is $128.99 a square foot.

Due to what I like to call "panic agenting" (when agent panic and convince unwitting seller to unnecessarily drop prices) you can buy a fantastic home and quality of life for under $390,000. You do need a guide, where is 540? What is the word on the street with pricing? You need a saavy buyers agent to guide you.

We can handle that! Look at the Highcroft homes for sale on ChangingStreets.com, lets look at options and find you the right buy in West Cary! (there are some great new builds around the corner if you don't mind driving to school that are not in the MLS!)

The home search link above is dynamic and always up to date so shop with confidence!
