Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Durham real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
Durham’s home values now sit well above the broader Washington County area, with a typical home value of $773,500 compared with $574,900 countywide. Month to month, prices in Durham have eased, with the typical home value down about 10.6 percent. List prices have also edged lower, as the median list price in February reached $768,000, off 0.9 percent from the prior month.
In the latest month, homes in Durham moved quickly, spending a median of just 14 days on the market, and half of recent sales closed above the asking price. Sellers on average received about 102.4 percent of list price, reinforcing the current seller’s market rating of 8 out of 10.
Inventory remains tight, with only 4 homes available in February and months of supply at just 1 month, and new listings were limited to 3 while buyers put 5 homes under contract. Projections for March point to further adjustment, with the typical home value expected to be about $727,638, the median list price near $764,500, and inventory easing to 3 active listings. With roughly 50 percent of listings seeing a price drop even in this strong environment, conditions can feel fast-moving for both buyers and sellers, and Agent Pronto can connect buyers and sellers with an agent who understands how to navigate Durham’s shifting numbers.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Durham offers residents a welcoming, tight-knit community with friendly neighbors, convenient local amenities, and easy access to outdoor recreation and green spaces.
Durham offers a quieter, more intimate feel than nearby Portland and Tigard, yet keeps you close to major employers, retail, and transit. Tucked between Tualatin and Lake Oswego, this small city is almost entirely residential, which gives daily life a relaxed, neighborly rhythm that can be hard to find in larger communities.
Much of the local identity centers on green space and walkability. Durham City Park runs along Fanno Creek, with playgrounds, picnic areas, and access to the Fanno Creek Trail for biking and jogging through a connected corridor of parks. Families appreciate proximity to the Tigard-Tualatin School District, including nearby elementary and middle schools just outside city limits. For everyday errands and dining, residents look to shopping and restaurants in adjacent Tigard and Tualatin, while downtown Portland is an easy commute via I‑5 or nearby WES Commuter Rail connections at Washington County stations.
Community life is closely tied to the city’s small scale and active local government, reflected in resources from City of Durham and recreation options coordinated with neighboring parks and centers such as the Tualatin Public Library.
With limited inventory and strong regional demand, timing and preparation matter in Durham. Whether you are planning a strategic sale or hoping to secure the right home in a competitive market, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local real estate professional who knows how to guide both buyers and sellers.
