Closed sales from August through October 2026, compared with August through October 2025. Days on market is NorthstarMLS's count for each closed sale; sale-to-list is the average of each sale price divided by its final list price.
These sales are NorthstarMLS closings, which cover eastern North Dakota: 530 of the 630 (84%) were in Cass County. Much of central and western North Dakota is served by other MLSs, and North Dakota is a non-disclosure state, so no public record of every sale price exists; the whole-state figures above use listing data and FHFA’s index instead.
