What is the median home price in North Dakota?
The median home value in North Dakota is $294K as of Jul 2026, up 5.3% over the past year. Curb Report tracks North Dakota home values monthly from Zillow's home value index, with a county-by-county breakdown.
What is the average home price in North Dakota?
The average home price in North Dakota is about $294K as of Jul 2026. Strictly speaking that figure is the typical home value from Zillow's home value index, which behaves like a median rather than a true arithmetic mean. That is the more useful number: a real average is pulled upward by a small number of luxury sales, so it overstates what an ordinary North Dakota home costs.
How long does it take to sell a house in North Dakota?
A typical North Dakota listing spends 52 days on the market before it sells or is withdrawn, as of Jul 2026. That is the statewide median; individual counties vary widely, and the county breakdown below shows where homes move fastest.
Is North Dakota a buyer's market or a seller's market?
North Dakota currently has 4.32 months of supply as of May 2026, meaning it would take that long to sell every active listing at the current sales pace. Under roughly six months is conventionally read as a seller's market and above it as a buyer's market, so North Dakota sits on the seller-leaning side of that line today.
Is now a good time to buy a home in North Dakota?
Curb Report's 12-month price forecast for North Dakota currently points to strong growth ahead. Weigh it against the North Dakota home-price trend and each county's outlook below before you buy.
Will the North Dakota housing market crash?
North Dakota's housing crash risk is currently moderate, based on how prices compare with local fundamentals and the 2008 baseline. Elevated risk doesn't predict a crash; it flags where the downside is larger if conditions turn. See the county-by-county crash-risk breakdown on Curb Report.
