Wake County held steady in September, with months of supply at 3.6 for a third straight month, its highest level since 2014, and the median price matching August at $460,000.

Saturday adds Hum Sub’s Diwali celebration in Cary and a new documentary festival made entirely of Durham stories, and Sunday closes with cardboard robots on stage at Mettlesome. There’s plenty to fill Friday, October 9 through Sunday, October 11.
