North Dakota Housing Market 2026: Prices, Sales & Trends

North Dakota's median closed sale price is $329,000, measured across 3,834 closings Resideline tracked statewide over the last six months, as of September 2026. These are closings we track directly, a measured sample rather than a complete state record, which is why we can show the detail below at all. A statewide median hides how far apart North Dakota's markets sit. Among its highest-volume markets, Williston carries the highest median and Minot the lowest. That gap is the reason a state figure belongs in a market briefing rather than in an offer: it describes the middle of the distribution, not a price you can underwrite against.

North Dakota's largest markets by closing volume

Volume matters as much as price here. Higher transaction volume generally provides more potential comparable sales, although the usable set for a specific property still depends on property type, size, condition, location and recency.

How to price a specific North Dakota property

Work from the closings, not from the state number. Start with sales of the same property type inside a tight radius, match size and condition before you widen anything, and treat the figures above as a sanity check on the answer rather than as the answer. A statewide median is useful for spotting which markets deserve attention; it will mis-price an individual address in either direction.

Run any North Dakota address through Resideline and you will get the local comparable set and the property's value together, in one report.
