Where the official Wake County list lives
The records behind this list are kept by the Wake County Department of Tax Administration. Many counties let anyone look up a property there for free, and some publish the whole list. Check the office's website for the format and any fee.
The free route is real: for one list in one county, the county office may be enough.

North Carolina rules and the North Carolina guide explain how the process works.
Why these owners may sell
Managing a house from another state is hard. Out-of-state owners, often heirs or former residents, are among the most willing sellers.
