Is the housing market slowing down in Williston, ND?
29 homes sold in Williston, ND during May 2026, against 39 in the same months a year earlier. Williston, ND is a small enough market that a year-to-year swing this size is as likely to be luck of the draw as a real shift, so we do not call a direction.
This page is about how many homes changed hands, not what they cost. The two move separately: prices are set by the homes that did sell, and volume tells you how many people managed to transact at all. A market can hold its prices while activity quietly drains out of it.
Here is the honest problem with Williston, ND. It records 29 sales in a window and 39 a year earlier. On counts that small, a difference of a dozen houses reads as a double-digit percentage, and a dozen houses is well within the range that a couple of delayed closings can produce. Plenty of sites will print that percentage for you. We would rather tell you the count is real and the trend is not measurable.
The longer view, all measured over the May window so the season is held constant: 36 homes sold two years ago, 39 last year, 29 now. We report those three counts as published and draw no trend through them, for the reason above.
What is on the shelf next to what is selling: 85 homes were on the market in Williston, ND, and 29 sold. At that pace it would take about 2.9 months to clear them all. There are more buyers than homes for sale. Sellers have the edge.
Every comparison on this page is to the SAME calendar months a year earlier, never to last month. Home sales roughly double between January and May in most of the country, so a month-over-month reading would tell you about the season and nothing about the market.
