“Best decision my wife and I made was to have this wonderful husband and wife team sell our house! We were previously with a different agent who we felt didn’t understand the tough townhome market in the area. We were wanting more guidance on the market, more pro-active communication from our relator, and knowledge on how to effectively price our home. We found ALL OF THIS with the Sold by Starkey Team! Within a few weeks of Kevin & Amanda becoming our new realtors we sold our home! The entire process was so smooth and we were kept informed on current market trends and the selling process the entire time. This team really shines with understanding the local market and providing constant communication! Real Estate is not a hobby for this team, they are true realtors! We highly recommend Sold by Starkey team - You won't be disappointed!”

Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly Inventory and Sales Activity for Durham County
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Durham County home prices have eased compared with a year ago even as the broader state has inched up. The typical home value is down nearly 6 percent year over year, while North Carolina overall is roughly flat. Inventory has expanded about 12 percent over the same period, and months of supply has climbed more than 50 percent to 4.4 months, supporting its current classification as a buyer’s market.
Looking at September 2026 specifically, the median list price is up a little over 5 percent from last year and also jumped more than 6 percent from August, suggesting sellers are still testing higher price points. Homes are taking longer to sell, with median days on market up about 10 percent year over year to 53 days, while the share of properties selling above list has slipped to under 12 percent and is down both month over month and year over year.
Recent activity shows mixed momentum, with homes sold up modestly from last year but pending sales only slightly higher. New listings are essentially flat year over year, yet active listings keep building, giving buyers more options and more time to decide. Compared with the state as a whole, Durham County’s supply is a bit tighter than North Carolina’s 4.8 months, but conditions still tilt toward buyers. In this shifting environment, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands these trends and how to navigate them.

“Angela is hands down the best!! Buying and selling can be stressful at times, but she manages the process expertly. She’s always many steps ahead of client needs, stays on top of every aspect of the process, communicates consistent updates, and is always available for questions. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor in the Triangle area. Thank you, Angela!!”
“We had an excellent experience buying with Farhan Khan coming from out of state. He communicated proactively with us throughout the process, made sure are we are well informed, was always helpful, and went the extra mile. He also offered valuable guidance when it came to negotiating and putting an offer. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in buying or selling a home in the Greater Raleigh area.”
“We actually dealt with Coralie! She was extremely knowledgeable and guided us through the entire process of purchasing our property. Very responsive when we had a question and always answered quickly to be courteous of our time. I’ve never had someone response to me on weekends and from home as much as she did to make sure we were taken care of! Can’t say thank you enough for the great experience!”
“Marjorie gave us the support and guidance on sale of our home. Always responsive and patient with us. Would recommend to others looking for a realtor.”
“Selling a home is such a big and emotional milestone, and we truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better to walk through it with us than our sister/sister-in-law and Brother-inlaw Chris! Having someone we love and trust by our side made this experience so much more meaningful. They put their heart into helping us, worked tirelessly for us, and made sure we felt supported every step of the way. And somehow, They managed to get our home SOLD in just ONE WEEK! We already knew how wonderful they were as people, but watching them work as a realtor made us appreciate them even more. Their dedication, compassion, professionalism, and genuine care for their clients shine through in everything they do. We are beyond grateful for all the time, effort, and love they poured into helping us through this chapter. We couldn’t be more proud to call them family, and we would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. They truly are the best!”
“Matthew went above and beyond to make sure that our home sale went smoothly. He made sure everything was taken care of, and that we always knew what was going on. His knowledge of the area and clear communication made the selling process a breeze. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
“Addie was AMAZING! She really represents her clients well. She is there every step of the way. I couldn't be more satisfied with the level of service she provided.”
“Crystal was an outstanding professional in helping me purchase my new home. She was always available and responsive, very informative, and made the entire process so much smoother from beginning to end. I would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase or sell a house in the Raleigh area.”
“She has gone way beyond our expectations. Good freind Like a sister”
“Toni has been a joy to work with from the very beginning. As a first time home buyer, Toni's guidance, patience and expertise in this process has been nothing short of amazing. I am truly Blessed to have been connected to Toni and her team of people to walk with me this process.”
“As first-time homebuyers, we feel very lucky that Bilt matched us with her. We had seen mixed reviews online about different eXp agents, so we weren’t sure what to expect, but she was fantastic from start to finish. She was patient, proactive, and always took the time to explain things, answer our questions, and give us honest advice. We were ready to accept the seller’s counteroffer, but without us even asking, she kept negotiating and came back a couple of hours later with an even lower price. That really showed us she was looking out for our best interests. She was also very responsive, even while out of the country on vacation. We had one small issue with an inspector she recommended, but she did everything she could to help get it resolved. Our parents were also involved in parts of the process and came away just as impressed. We’re very grateful we were matched with her and would absolutely recommend her.”
“Yoana and Mihai were extremely knowledgeable, professional and honest helping us sell our Cary, NC home. We sold above asking price in one day. Their experience made the entire process very easy. We could not have been more pleased with their services and would highly recommend them for your real estate needs.”
“Absolutely Amazing! I just wanted to say THANK YOU to the best agent in the business! Tim patiently waited while we figured out exactly what we wanted to do. When we finally found the home we wanted, it wasn’t going to be easy—but HE MADE IT HAPPEN! He got it done ON TIME and UNDER BUDGET! 5 Stars just isn't enough- He runs his own firm, runs renovation jobs, and always makes time for his clients! I don't know how he does it all!! If you’re looking for an LOCALLY OWNERED FIRM and an owner/agent who will be patient, persistent, and truly go to bat for you, Atlas Central NC Realty/w owner Tim Supples is your guy!”
“Pour Elle est present elements, Elle est tres profferionelle,,Elle est toujours sourillantr et toujours dispose pour donne son support quan on aura lesion Elle est toujours pres a touts apple de la part de son client.felicitation Melisa et son staff que Dieu vous benisse”
“Brett and Caitlin helped us find the perfect house and sell our house quickly. We were looking for something very specific. Even when we got discouraged by what was available, Brett and Caitlin kept researching and found a great place for us. When it was time to sell, they went above and beyond with staging and photos and were able to sell our house quickly.”
“Pat's expertise won us the house we dreamed of - we got exactly what we needed, and a rare find! Believe me, we had a *long* list of wants, and it took a *long* time for the right place (that was in our budget!) to land on the market. I had every confidence that Pat would only let us make an offer on a solid investment - she has her client's best interest truly at heart. When the dream property showed up on the market, Pat happened to be away on an epic adventure - but, with true devotion to us as her clients, she found a spot on the mountain and used her last bit of phone battery where she could get a little signal just to keep the ball rolling! Pat's sub got us in to see the house right away, and was so friendly and easy to work with - and as soon as Pat was back in town she took back over and guided us through negotiations that got a bit complex after the inspection, and worked hard to negotiate a good deal with a great outcome. I'm not someone who feels confident about negotiations, so we just trusted Pat and knew she would take good care of us, and she did! We are forever grateful; home-buying can be such an emotionally draining experience, but Pat's calm and steady confidence kept us grounded. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“We have known Giri for years, so we already knew he was someone we could trust — but working with him as our real estate agent exceeded our expectations. He gave us thoughtful advice that opened our eyes to options we hadn't even considered, and backed it up with data and financial modeling that helped us make confident decisions. He was always quick to respond, patient with our questions, and his connections with mortgage brokers and property managers made the entire process feel seamless. We couldn't have asked for a better guide through the journey, and we'd recommend him without hesitation.”
“Joline one of the best Agents I have see especially having bought many properties over the years. She was able yo assist me through a number of properties of which came with tremendous returns on the investment. I would recommend anyone to seek her expertise while selling or buying real estate.”
“Bill was amazing during our move from Maryland to North Carolina. He provided detailed reports of different communities, spent a few days driving me around, and answered relentless questions. His insight and scientific approach was different and better than other realtors I have worked with in the past. 100% recommend him”
