Inventory in Durham is very limited, with just 6 homes on the market and only 1 new listing recently. Buyers are still writing offers, with 2 properties going under contract despite the small pool of options. With 6 months of supply and a seller’s market gauge reading of 30, conditions lean toward sellers but are not extremely overheated.
Pricing is telling a more complex story. Typical home values have climbed sharply to about $1,075,000, up 59.26% from last year and 26.77% in just a month, far above the roughly $412,500 typical value in Butte County overall. At the same time, the median list price sits around $249,000, and about one-third of sellers have reduced their asking price, showing that some homes need adjustments to attract offers.
Homes are spending a long time on the market at a median of 124 days, even though that figure has dropped 53.38% month over month, and no recent sales have closed above list price, with sale-to-list ratios averaging about 0.98. Looking ahead to March 2026, typical values are projected to move toward $1,188,500 as inventory potentially tightens to about 4 homes, while list prices are expected to hold near $249,000.
