Durham real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Durham real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Durham’s housing market is seeing a steady flow of homes and contracts right now. In March 2026, buyers could choose from about 917 active listings, with 507 new listings hitting the market and 393 going under contract. That level of activity, combined with 3.3 months of supply, lines up with its current Seller's Market reading of 23 on the market gauge.
Pricing is adjusting upward even as homes take some time to sell. The typical home value sits near $425,000, up 6.52% from the prior month even though it is down 1.16% compared with last year. Sellers are listing a bit higher, with a median list price of about $439,000, and values are projected to rise to roughly $438,000 next month as median list price moves toward $448,915.
Marketing time tells a mixed story for both sides of the table. Homes spent a median of 45 days on the market in March, sharply lower than the prior month but more than double the pace from a year ago, while about 25% of sales closed above asking and the average sale-to-list ratio hovered near 0.98. Roughly 37% of sellers adjusted their price at least once, and Durham’s typical value of $425,000 sits slightly above Durham County’s $415,000, where prices have slipped about 4.6% year over year and inventory totals 1,157 homes. With inventory projected to edge up to about 947 listings next month and conditions still tilted toward sellers, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding the right real estate agent to navigate this market.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

“The Starkeys are true professionals with deep expertise in real estate transactions, and it’s clear they genuinely care about their clients. From the start, they set clear expectations for every aspect of selling our home and consistently followed up to keep everything on track. Amanda and Kevin work seamlessly as a team. Amanda provided invaluable guidance on staging, helping our home look its absolute best, while Kevin expertly led us through evaluating offers and negotiating terms. We felt aligned with his strategy throughout, including how to handle offers and inspection requests. Their approach delivered excellent results—we received multiple offers within just two days and ultimately sold to a wonderful couple, which meant a lot to us given how much pride we took in our home. I would highly recommend the Starkeys and would happily work with them again in the future.”
