Duluth Market Insight

March 2026

(Based on February 2026 FMLS data, YTD thru 2/2026, for ZIPs 30096 and 30097)

Detached Homes: Prices Up, But Buyers More Selective

Duluth’s detached market is showing price growth alongside longer timelines. In 30096, the YTD median sale price is $489,500, with an average of $523,100 and 49 DOM. Inventory has expanded to about 3.1 months of supply, giving buyers more options than last year.

In 30097, the YTD median is $731,000, with an average of $1,000,072 and 30 DOM, while supply sits around 2.2 months—still relatively tight compared to 30096.

Townhomes & Condos: More Volatility, Longer Selling Windows

Attached housing is more sensitive to pricing and condition. In 30096, the YTD median is $302,500, with 67 DOM and ~4.7 months of supply, reflecting clear buyer leverage.

In 30097, the YTD median is $424,000, with 67 DOM and a higher ~5.9 months of supply, indicating a slower, more competitive segment for sellers.

What It Means for Sellers

Duluth remains a desirable market, but buyers are more selective and timing matters more. Detached homes still command strong pricing—especially in North Duluth—but inventory growth means sellers must stand out.

Best results come from:

Tight, comp-based pricing,
Strong curb appeal and interior presentation, and
A strategic launch to capture early buyer attention
