Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026 - Aug 2026).

Durham’s rolling three-month housing data shows a pickup in activity and a tighter feel for sellers. Active listings are up about a quarter from a year ago, but homes sold have climbed even faster, rising nearly 68 percent year over year. New listings and pending sales are also surging, with new listings up roughly 76 percent and contracts almost doubling compared with last year.

Pricing has moved sharply higher over the past year even as it dipped from early-summer highs. The typical home value over the latest three-month period is up more than 50 percent year over year, while the median list price has risen nearly 46 percent over the same time frame. Homes are moving quickly, with a median of just 7 days on market and about half of recent sales closing above list price.

Supply has tightened meaningfully compared with last year, with months of supply falling to just over three months and supporting Durham’s current seller’s market conditions. The share of homes selling above asking has increased modestly year over year, and the average sale-to-list ratio is just over 100 percent, indicating buyers are paying close to, or slightly above, asking prices. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these fast-moving trends can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with an experienced local real estate agent.



Learn more about what Durham has to offer.

Durham offers residents a friendly, close-knit community with convenient local amenities, ample outdoor spaces, and a calm, family-friendly pace.

Durham offers a distinctly rural, small-town lifestyle that feels worlds apart from nearby Chico, while still keeping city conveniences within easy reach. Almond and walnut orchards line country roads, and the community’s pace is noticeably calmer than in larger neighboring areas.

Life here often revolves around local schools and shared traditions. The Durham Unified School District is a central point of pride, drawing families who value close-knit campuses and strong community support. Weekend activities might include youth sports at Durham Community Park, a stop at Durham Community Library, or a quick trip to Bidwell Park in Chico for hiking, biking, and swimming.

Agriculture remains an important part of Durham’s identity, with roadside farm stands, harvest-season events, and long-standing local businesses that know their customers by name. Many homes feature larger lots, workshops, and space for hobbies, which attracts buyers looking for more land than they might find in Butte County communities closer to town centers.

Because Durham’s housing inventory is limited and highly sought after, timing and preparation matter. Buyers who understand the local rhythm and are ready to act quickly can secure properties that rarely come to market. Sellers who plan carefully, highlight lifestyle benefits, and price accurately can maximize results. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with the right Durham real estate agent to navigate this unique market with confidence.

“We picked Deanne to list our home because we had seen her work and professionalism in action with some friends of ours when they sold some LOP homes. Deanne took the time to make sure the listing price was correct and did not get caught up in trying to get to much for the property. Deanne was very professional in how she handled the buyers and the prosective buyers that looked at our home. We would recommend her to anyone in the Auburn CA area looking to buy or sell a home without a second thought.”

“I have to say from our first meeting I found Linda to be very pleasant, proffessioal and informative. This was reasuring to me as this was the first experience my wife and I have had with the process of buying a home. I was QUITE NERVOUS about buying a home for the first time, (and it did not help that I don't trust most people) but I have to say that Linda put me at ease with her explanation of the process, and what to look for when it comes to perchasing a home. We let her know what we were looking for, what we could afford and what area we wanted to live in. Linda MORE than met all of our expectation. I would HIGHLY recommend Linda to anyone looking for a pleasant and positive experience when it comes to buying a home!”

“We felt Paul Kaplan Group appeals to people who are interested in mid-century design, and would attract those people to our property. Stephanie was given high praise by some friends of ours who had recently bought and sold property with her. Stephanie was terrific, very proactive in keeping us informed every step of the way, always very responsive to any questions we had. We are extremely pleased with the results she got for us! I wish we could give her a higher rating than excellent, she really exceeded expectations in all the categories above.”

“Tami was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was extremely enthusiastic about our house, and did a great job of promoting it. The promotion drew in large numbers of visitors. Tami took excellent photos of the house, which helped immensely in attracting visitors. We eventually got a full-price offer, and even had the pleasure of meeting the buyers to show them around and explain the special features of the property. I would highly recommend Tami to anyone wanting to buy or sell a house.”
