The competitive Cary real estate market continues to heat up, with a recent land sale setting a new benchmark. A New York investment firm, JEN Partners, recently acquired an 11-acre parcel in southwest Cary for a staggering $5.6 million, translating to an impressive $500,000 per acre. This significant purchase underscores the strong demand for land in Cary and highlights the continued growth and desirability of this thriving community.
High Demand Fuels Record-Breaking Prices
Cary’s strong job market, excellent schools, and high quality of life have made it a highly sought-after destination for homebuyers and investors alike. This robust demand has fueled a significant increase in land values, with developers eager to capitalize on the growing population and robust housing market. The recent $5.6 million land sale serves as a testament to the strong investor confidence in Cary’s future and the continued appeal of this thriving community.
According to the Triangle Business Journal, the land is earmarked for Phase Two of Roberts Crossing, a popular townhome subdivision in southwest Cary. The seller, Pranay Parekh, purchased the land for $3.3 million in March 2023 and had a subdivision application approved by the town of Cary in December of the same year. The land has an assessed value of $2.62 million, highlighting the significant increase in value within a short period.
This is not the only instance of skyrocketing land prices in Cary. The Triangle Business Journal also reports that land in southeast Cary for a multifamily project went for $750,000 per acre, and Tri Pointe Homes spent millions acquiring land for new developments in the area. These examples further illustrate the intense competition for land in Cary and the strong growth potential that investors see in the market.
