North Dakota Real Estate Market Analysis
North Dakota's real estate market spans a wide range of economic conditions, demographics, and price points. Whether you're a first-time buyer looking for the most affordable North Dakota metros or an investor weighing relative market strength, the PropertyIQ Score gives you a single data-first read — built from Zillow price momentum and Realtor.com market-flow signals, updated monthly — of how each market compares to its state.
North Dakota's housing market is heavily influenced by oil and gas cycle economics, particularly in the Williston Basin (Bakken formation). Fargo's agricultural services, healthcare, and university economy provides more stable demand insulated from commodity cycles. PropertyIQ's North Dakota scoring specifically models energy sector employment sensitivity for markets in the western half of the state where boom-bust cycles have historically created dramatic price swings.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many housing markets does PropertyIQ track in North Dakota?
PropertyIQ currently tracks 8 metro areas and 52 counties in North Dakota, each with its own PropertyIQ Score, home value trend, and days on market reading, refreshed monthly.
What does a PropertyIQ Score of 50 mean for a North Dakota market?
A score of 50 marks North Dakota's own state average demand momentum. PropertyIQ computes scores nationally across every US market, then calibrates the scale so a North Dakota market is read against North Dakota's own typical momentum rather than the national average. A market scoring above 50 is positioned to outperform the North Dakota average over the next three years, while one below 50 is positioned to lag it.
Where can I find ZIP code level housing data for North Dakota?
Every metro area and county listed on this page links through to its own ZIP codes, and each ZIP has its own market page with home value, rent, and days on market data. Start from a North Dakota metro or county below, then drill into ZIP codes for the most localized data available.

Every metro, county, and ZIP page for North Dakota shows a last updated date, and PropertyIQ Scores are recomputed monthly once that new source data lands.
