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

Year over year, Downtown Durham home prices in this rolling three-month view are down sharply, with the typical home value falling more than a third. At the same time, inventory has expanded compared with last year, as active listings are up while the broader Durham city market shows a smaller increase and a lower median sale price.

In the latest period ending September 2026, typical home values sit around $627,000 and median list prices are just under that level, indicating sellers are pricing close to recent sales. Conditions now resemble a neutral market, with 6.6 months of supply compared with 4.6 months across Durham overall.

Recent activity shows slower movement, as the median days on market has stretched to about 100 days and only a small share of homes are selling above list at roughly 19 percent. Yet buyers still face meaningful pricing, and sellers must stand out in a market where closed sales and new listings are both lower than a year ago, so Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers connect with an agent who understands these shifting dynamics in Downtown Durham.

“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!”

“Working with Joshua was one of the best decisions we made during our homebuying journey! As first-time homebuyers purchasing a home from across the country, we knew this would be a big step, but Joshua made the entire experience so much easier. From the very beginning, Joshua worked hard to help us secure the home we fell in love with. It wasn't an easy one to get, but he fought for us and made it happen. Even with us being out of state, he made sure everything was taken care of. Our closing process was far from typical, and we faced some unexpected challenges with our lender that caused delays and uncertainty. Throughout it all, Joshua handled everything professionally, stayed on top of every detail, and did everything he could to keep things moving forward. He truly went above and beyond, helping us feel less stressed during a very challenging time. We cannot recommend Joshua highly enough! If you're looking for a realtor who will genuinely fight for your best interests, go the extra mile, and stand by you no matter how challenging the process gets, Joshua is the one you want on your side. We would choose him again in a heartbeat!”

“Love! Love! Love! Chambrea!!!! She worked so hard on my rental property ventures and it paid off!!! We wanted to invest in our home-state of NC even though we live in California, and she was our eyes, ears, hands, and feet so that we could realize our dreams. Chambrea is highly intelligent and professional and will work until the job is done RIGHT!!! We have a few hiccups along the way but she walked us through every single hurdle, and we were able to close! I will be using Chambrea in the future as we look to expand our rental property ownership! HIGHLY recommended.”

“My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Kaitlin while purchasing our first home in Benson, North Carolina, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. As first-time homebuyers, the process was new to us and, at times, a little stressful—especially when navigating some difficulties with the sellers. Throughout the entire process, Kaitlin went above and beyond to advocate for us and made sure that all of our questions, concerns, and needs were heard and addressed. Having Kaitlin by our side made the home-buying process feel 10 times easier. She was always attentive, responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure we felt comfortable with every decision along the way. It was clear that she wasn’t just focused on getting the transaction completed—she truly cared about making sure we were getting what we needed and the best deal possible. Her dedication to her clients really sets her apart, and we are so grateful to have had her guiding us through such an important milestone in our lives. I would highly recommend Kaitlin to anyone looking to buy a home in the Benson area or surrounding communities. We would absolutely work with her again in the future and couldn’t imagine having gone through this experience with anyone else!”

“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.”

“Pete is an extremely knowledgeable, kind, flexible realtor. He was very helpful with suggesting repairs prior to listing our home. He talked us through each step, knowing the possible outcomes and preparing us for different scenarios. He was ahead of the game. We landed three offers within days of listing our home. Pete got us over asking price and a backup offer. I am so grateful that we worked with him. I would absolutely do so again in the future.”

“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!”

“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.”

Her professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication truly set her apart. I always felt like she had my best interests in mind and worked hard to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible.

“Working with Pamela was an answer to our family's prayers. Selling a home can be a wild and stressful journey, especially when you are juggling a simultaneous purchase with shifting dates, but Pamela navigated all the twists and turns with ease and got our house sold in exactly 19 days! Her communication is top-notch, and she took so much of the burden off our plate, making a highly stressful situation feel easy and manageable despite the very tight deadlines. I've never met someone who cares about their craft with such a high level of professionalism, heart, and dedication. She completely shattered our expectations and delivered results far greater than I ever hoped for. 'Above and beyond' doesn't even begin to describe how impressed we are with her. Pamela is, without a doubt, the greatest realtor by a mile. If you need a listing agent, she is the one!”

“Working with Trixie during the process of purchasing my home was truly an outstanding experience from start to finish. As a buyer, there are so many moving parts involved—from finding the right property to navigating negotiations, inspections, and ultimately closing—and Trixie made every step feel manageable, organized, and even enjoyable. From our very first interaction, Trixie took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for in a home. She was attentive, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable about the market. She didn’t just show me listings—she carefully selected homes that aligned with my preferences, which saved me time and made the entire search process much more efficient. Her insight into the local market trends and neighborhoods was invaluable, and it gave me a lot of confidence in my decisions. What stood out most to me was Trixie’s communication and responsiveness. She was always available to answer questions, explain details, and provide honest advice. Whether it was a quick text or a longer discussion about next steps, I never felt like I was left in the dark. Buying a home can be stressful, but having someone like Trixie guiding me through the process made a huge difference. When it came time to make an offer, Trixie was strategic and thorough. She walked me through the entire process, explained what to expect, and advocated strongly on my behalf. Her negotiation skills were impressive, and I truly felt like she had my best interests at heart. She ensured that everything—from pricing to contingencies—was handled carefully and thoughtfully. The process didn’t stop there—Trixie continued to be an incredible resource throughout inspections, paperwork, and coordination with all parties involved. She stayed on top of deadlines, communicated with lenders, attorneys, and inspectors, and made sure nothing was overlooked. Her attention to detail and commitment to keeping everything on track was remarkable. Closing on a home can often be overwhelming, but Trixie made sure it went as smoothly as possible. She prepared me for what to expect, double-checked all documentation, and remained accessible right up to the final signature. Thanks to her hard work and dedication, the closing process felt seamless and well-coordinated. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. Trixie is professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely cares about her clients. She goes above and beyond to ensure a positive experience, and it truly shows in every aspect of her work. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
