Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Orange County real estate market, updated for January 2026. *
The typical home value in Orange County is projected to be $438,750 for the month of December. November’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the county to be $475,000—up 7.95% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, state-level data pegged home values at $387,000 in North Carolina for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $386,950 in December.
Orange County had 83 new listings and 98 listings that went under contract in November, decreasing the area’s total available inventory to 375—down 6.95% from the previous month. Inventory is projected to have further decreased in December.
Of those 375 active listings, 28.53% reduced their price in the month of November. The median listing price for homes in Orange County grew 6.8% from October to November, bringing the current median listing price to $550,000. Based on projected data for December, listing prices may continue to grow.
The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract fell year-over-year. In November 2025, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 41 days, compared to 54 days in November 2024. However, in recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be rising. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this December.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Orange County offers residents a welcoming community with abundant parks and outdoor spaces, strong schools, diverse cultural and recreational opportunities, and a stable economy that together support a high quality of life.
Orange County balances college-town creativity with a small-county sense of space and community. Anchored by Chapel Hill and Carrboro, it’s home to the University of North Carolina at UNC–Chapel Hill, where world-class performances at Carolina Performing Arts, exhibitions at the Ackland Art Museum, and trails at the North Carolina Botanical Garden add depth to everyday life. Historic Hillsborough pairs 18th-century streetscapes with indie shops, galleries, and cafes, while proximity to Durham broadens dining, tech, and healthcare options across the Triangle.
Outdoor time is easy to claim here. The Eno’s shady bluffs and riverside paths in Eno River State Park and the summit views at Occoneechee Mountain State Natural Area reward weekend wanderers, and the celebrated Carrboro Farmers’ Market keeps kitchens filled with local produce year-round.
Families appreciate strong public schools and a full slate of youth sports, libraries, and cultural programs supported by the county government. Commuters find straightforward access to major employers, while housing ranges from restored mill cottages and historic farmhouses to new energy-efficient builds in planned communities.
