The 9 Most Expensive Fayetteville Homes on the Market in April 2022

A few months ago, we did a story on the most expensive homes on the market in Fayetteville, and since then there's been a lot of change in the market! So we thought it was time to give the list a refresh and show you what's out there.

Of course homes at these price ranges don't sell quite as quickly as others might, but there's still a lot of new stuff to see here. Plus, some of the homes that were on here before have changed price.

There are nine homes currently listed above $800,000 in Fayetteville. That's not including plenty of those in the greater Fayetteville area. For the sake of this exercise, we're keeping it to the Fayetteville zip codes.

As we discovered last time, most of these homes have a theme to them: size and location. Although, there are now more homes out in the Gates Four area than are in the Haymount area. That's a bit of a change.

But we're looking at homes with four or more bedrooms, three or more bathrooms, and lots of amenities.

So, let's take a look at the most expensive Fayetteville homes currently on the market, as of April 18, 2022:

Sorry Raeford friends, it seems that you - along with many other North Carolina cities - may not be so good at money management.

According to the latest survey from our friends at WalletHub.com, Raeford comes in next to last in the country for money management. Only the good folks in Willis, Texas might be worse at in fact, as Raeford came in ranked No. 2,571 on the list.

WalletHub ranked 2,572 U.S. cities on money management, based on 10 key indicators. Those included things like average credit scores, late mortgage payments, and debt-to-income ratios.

Raeford was done in on the rankings by exceptionally bad credit card debt-to-ratio rankings, at 7.75 percent.

But Fayetteville, don't get too excited. We didn't do much better here, coming in at No. 2,503 on the list, the third percentile. And Hope Mills, you're not in the clear either, coming in at No. 2,546 on the list.

Among North Carolina cities, Cary came out best overall, ranked at No. 96 in the country, a whopping 2,475 spots better than Raeford at money management. We ranked all the North Carolina cities below.

"A survey of consumer financial literacy reflects a growing need for financial instruction in U.S. households. Only 57% of adults, for instance, give their knowledge of personal finance high marks, and 47% maintain a budget and keep an eye on their spending," WalletHub said in their release. "Good money management skills are more important now than ever during the COVID-19 pandemic."

Some experts think a lack of education at even the high school level contributes to some of this problem.

"Financial skills should be taught as a mandatory part of the high school curriculum," said Dorris Perryman, Adjunct Associate Professor of Accounting at Bristol Community College. "Many students are working evenings, weekends, spring, and summer breaks. Financial skills will help students understand money management. Financial knowledge will help break the poverty cycle because students will garner a better understanding of how money, credit cards, insurance, and other tools work."

Here's where every North Carolina city ranks on the list, as well as the top cities in the United States, led by Scarsdale, New York and Cupertino, California (the home of Google):
