Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Durham’s rolling three-month data shows a market with limited but active inventory. There are 30 active listings and just 2.5 months of supply, which is consistent with its seller’s market label. Contract activity has picked up sharply compared with a year ago, with homes sold up more than 115 percent and pending sales up about 126 percent.
Prices have moved higher over the past year even as listing and sales patterns shifted. The typical home value is up more than 45 percent year over year, and the median list price has climbed about 64 percent in the same period.
Marketing times and negotiation patterns point to a market that still favors sellers, but with buyers exercising some leverage. Homes are taking a median of 28 days to go under contract in this rolling three-month view, slightly faster than a year ago, and about 41 percent of sales are closing above list price, with an average sale-to-list ratio near 99 percent. At the same time, new listings are down more than 30 percent year over year, which helps keep supply tight even as demand rises. With these crosscurrents in Durham, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting them with an experienced local agent who understands the latest conditions.
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.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“We highly recommend Herbert to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! We have been working with Herbert since we purchased our very first home, and he has continued to help not only us but also our family members and friends with their home purchases over the years. Herbert is more than just a real estate agent to us. He is incredibly friendly, trustworthy, professional, and genuinely cares about his clients. He always takes the time to listen, answer questions, and make sure everyone feels comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. He treats his clients like family, not just another transaction. We recently worked with him again on another property purchase, and once again, he provided excellent service. We truly appreciate his dedication, patience, and continued support throughout all these years. We are grateful to have Herbert as our trusted real estate agent and would absolutely recommend him to our family, friends, and anyone looking for an agent who truly cares.”

“Neal was fantastic to work with, and we can’t recommend him highly enough! My wife and I weren’t actively looking to buy a new home when we unexpectedly stumbled upon our dream home. Since we didn’t have a real estate agent at the time, we reached out to Neal, who had previously sold several homes on the same street, as well as another highly recommended realtor. What immediately set Neal apart was his responsiveness, initiative, and willingness to go above and beyond. While the other realtor suggested we obtain pre-approval before taking the next steps, Neal had already previewed the property, begun evaluating its value, and started putting together a strategy for our offer. He also connected us with a mortgage broker to get the pre-approval process moving. His proactive approach and sense of urgency made our decision to work with him an easy one. Throughout the entire home-buying process, Neal was professional, attentive, and incredibly thorough. He stayed on top of every detail, from our initial offer and negotiations to the final walkthrough. He communicated regularly, coordinated seamlessly with the seller’s agent and our lender, and made sure everything stayed on track. Thanks to his dedication and expertise, we were able to close on our dream home in less than 30 days! What we appreciated most about Neal was that he genuinely cared about helping us secure the right home, rather than simply completing a transaction. His professionalism, work ethic, and attention to detail gave us tremendous confidence throughout the process. We’re incredibly grateful for everything Neal did for us and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”

“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.”

“We had such a great experience working with Lacie. From start to finish, she made the whole process feel so much easier and less overwhelming. She is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, well connected, and just really good at what she does. She has a great social media presence, knows how to get a property seen, and has connections for just about anything that needs to get done along the way. More than anything, we always felt like Lacie had our best interests at heart. We trusted her completely and never felt like we were just another transaction. By the end of it, she felt more like a friend than our realtor, and we are so grateful for everything she did for us. I would recommend Lacie in a heartbeat to anyone buying or selling a home. She is exactly the kind of person you want in your corner.”

“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!”

If you want reliability, experience and expertise in an agent, contact Adam and you will certainly be in great hands.”

“Working with Jess was incredible. Not only is she knowledgable and thorough, she's super relatable. Going to see homes and navigating my purchase was like hanging out with a good friend. She took the time to understand what my style was and what I wanted, including the compromises I was willing to me. The home that I bought, which I love was actually one that I didn't want to go see at first. I wasn't interested from the pictures online but she convinced me to go anyways and I fell in love! She's a great person to have in your corner.”
