“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.”

Northeast Durham real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Northeast Durham real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
In Northeast Durham, March 2026 brought some noticeable month-to-month shifts. Typical home values edged down about 1.49% from the prior month to roughly $297,990, while the median list price inched up 1.09% to about $308,330, and homes took longer to sell at a median 52 days on market.
Compared with a year ago, trends look more dramatic. Typical home values are down about 8.31% year over year. Yet new listings have climbed 34.78%. Pending sales are up an even stronger 69.09%.
Inventory tells a mixed story, with 66 homes on the market in March, up 24.53% from last year but down 17.5% from the prior month, and projected to ease to 59 homes in April. Only about 8.45% of recent sales closed above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under full price at 0.986, underscoring a seller’s edge but with some room for negotiation. Northeast Durham’s market gauge is a 7, indicating a seller’s market, even as typical values sit well below the broader Durham city figure of about $425,000. With typical values projected to dip slightly to around $295,740 next month and list prices expected near $309,995, buyers and sellers can both benefit from having an expert local agent, and Agent Pronto can connect them with the right one.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
