The least expensive house we have listed, and an honest description of why
A 1972 brick ranch, 1,240 square feet, three bedrooms and a bath and a half. The roof is 2019 and the HVAC is 2020, so the expensive systems are handled. Everything cosmetic is not: the kitchen and bath are original, the carpet needs replacing and the popcorn ceiling should be tested for asbestos before removal, which is standard for the era. We are telling you this up front because it is the difference between a $289,000 house and a $360,000 house, and for the right buyer that difference is the whole point.
- Roof 2019, HVAC 2020
- Kitchen and bath original to 1972
- Test the popcorn ceiling before removal — standard for this era
- FHA 203(k) or HomeStyle renovation loan eligible

- Getting about About 22 miles to downtown Raleigh via US-401; roughly 25 miles to RTP.
Assigned schools
These are the base schools currently assigned to this address by Wake County Public School System. We list assignment as a fact and nothing more — we do not rate, rank or compare schools, and no one at Homestead will, because doing so is how housing discrimination happens in practice. Judge them yourself.

Under 20% down, so private mortgage insurance is included at an estimated 0.55% of the loan a year. On a conventional loan it comes off automatically once you reach 78% loan-to-value, and you can usually request removal at 80%. On most FHA loans it stays for the life of the loan.
Over the full term you would pay about $328,668 in interest, assuming you never pay extra and never refinance.
Estimates only. Actual rates depend on credit, loan type and the day. Wake County property tax is reassessed on a four-year cycle, so a recent revaluation can move the tax line. Talk to a lender for a real quote — we can introduce you to three.
