“Kevin and The Sold by Starkey Team were phenomenal! As first time homebuyers who had very little idea of the process, but had properties already in mind, Kevin was able to jump right in getting us information and putting offers in. Him and Autumn were involved in every step of the process, handling as much of the communication as they could and providing guidance in times of uncertainty, which took a lot of the stress off our shoulders. We will 100% be recommending them to everyone!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).
Year over year, Watts Hospital-Hillandale has seen home values move sharply higher, with the typical home value up more than 30 percent in this rolling three-month window. Median list prices have climbed even faster over the same period, rising by over 50 percent compared with a year ago. Compared with the wider Durham market, where prices are roughly flat year over year, this neighborhood is showing much stronger upward pricing pressure.
Looking at the latest rolling three-month period through June 2026, inventory has expanded, with active listings up nearly 28 percent from last year to 24 homes. Months of supply has also increased dramatically to about six months, up from closer to one to two months a year ago, signaling more options for buyers even as prices trend higher.
Buyer activity has moderated, with homes sold down about 25 percent year over year and pending sales falling nearly half, while homes now sit on the market a median of 40 days versus just a few days last summer. No recent sales closed above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio has eased to just under 96 percent, a shift from the frequent bidding wars seen in prior years. With pricing still strong but conditions less frenzied, both buyers and sellers in Watts Hospital-Hillandale can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate agent to help them navigate this changing market.

“Our experience with Melissa was outstanding in all aspects and we appreciated her strong customer focus! She was exceptionally knowledgeable and provided great insight for our out of state move and home purchase. We would highly recommed Melissa without any hesitation what so ever!!”
“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!”
