Raleigh, NC office market
The Raleigh, NC office market in 2024-2026 has been defined by a wide gap between distressed assets selling at deep discounts and stabilized Class A properties attracting selective buyers at reset pricing. Sale prices averaged $158/SF in 2024 and recovered to roughly $203-$213/SF by late 2025, while cap rates have hovered in the 8.5% to 9.1% range. Leasing demand is gradually improving in amenitized districts, and the near-total halt of new office construction is expected to tighten supply over the medium term, supporting valuations for well-located assets.
What's driving Office prices in Raleigh
Office sale prices in Raleigh fell sharply in 2024 (averaging $158/SF, down roughly 48% year over year per CommercialCafe/Yardi), then partially recovered to approximately $203-$213/SF by Q3-Q4 2025 as private buyers stepped in at reset pricing, though values remain well below pre-2022 levels.
- Near-zero new office supply coming online in 2026 is expected to gradually tighten vacancy and support rents for well-located Class A and B assets
- Elevated overall vacancy (roughly 20-21% citywide per Yardi/CommercialCafe 2024 data) keeps downward pressure on pricing for older and less-amenitized buildings
- Growing pipeline of lender-driven and distressed sales as loan maturities approach, widening the buyer opportunity set but depressing average sale prices
- Life sciences, biotech, and tech tenant demand concentrated in select submarkets (North Wake, Downtown, Midtown) is creating a two-tier market with pockets of sub-12% vacancy
