Is it worth buying in Cary?

I'm a remote worker and The unemployment rate is 3.8%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $287,000 on average. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The city has invested a lot in new development.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 10 years ago from Minneapolis and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Midtown. It's surprisingly good for what you get.

Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in real estate. If you're in consulting you might struggle.

People: Generally solid. It took about 7 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like farm-to-table.

Good luck with whatever you decide..

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I love the pace of life here. Internet is better than expected in most areas.
