How much is my DuPont home worth?
Start with the market: residential homes in DuPont sold for a median of $587,500 from August through October 2026, up 3.5% from a year earlier (NWMLS InfoSparks). Homes sold at a median of 97.3% of list price in 25 days, and supply was 2.6 months — tighter than Pierce County overall. But only 14 homes sold in those three months, so the median can swing on a few sales. Your home’s value depends on its neighborhood within DuPont, views, size, age, condition, and the closest recent sales.
DuPont is unlike most Pierce County cities. Much of it is a master-planned community built from the 1990s onward, with walkable neighborhoods, trails, Puget Sound bluff views, and the Home Course golf course — plus the historic company-town homes of the original DuPont village. It sits right at the edge of Joint Base Lewis-McChord, with quick I-5 access toward Tacoma and Olympia.

What the DuPont market looks like right now
NWMLS InfoSparks, residential, August–October 2026 compared with the same period in 2025:
- Median sale price: $587,500 (+3.5%)
- Median price per square foot: $263 (−16.0%)
- Closed sales: 14 (−56.3%)
- Median days on market: 25 (+66.7%)
- Median sale-to-list price: 97.3% (−2.3%)
- Homes for sale: 21 (+23.5%)
- Months of supply: 2.6 (+52.9%)
What that tells you: DuPont inventory is still lean, but sales slowed sharply this fall and buyers are negotiating more than last year. With so few sales, the swings in median price and price per square foot mostly reflect which homes happened to sell — a few larger homes can push the median up and the per-foot number down. That’s why DuPont pricing has to come from specific comparable sales, not the headline numbers.
What moves a DuPont home’s value
Neighborhood and builder. DuPont’s neighborhoods were built in phases by different builders, with different lot sizes, floor plans, and HOA setups. Buyers compare within the same neighborhood first.
Views and location. Puget Sound, Olympic Mountain, and Mount Rainier views carry premiums, as do homes near trails, parks, and the golf course. Proximity to I-5 and the JBLM gates matters for commuters.
Age and updates. Many DuPont homes are now 20 to 30 years old. Original roofs, furnaces, water heaters, and builder-grade finishes are coming due, and buyers notice. Updated kitchens, newer flooring, and modern systems set homes apart. Our post on improvements worth making before you sell helps you prioritize.
HOA and community rules. HOA dues, what they cover, and any rules on rentals, exterior changes, or parking affect buyer interest. Have your HOA documents ready early — see HOA resale certificates in Washington.
Military demand. JBLM brings a steady flow of buyers, many on PCS timelines and using VA loans. Move-in-ready homes that meet VA appraisal standards tend to draw them. If you’re leaving on orders yourself, see selling your home with PCS orders from JBLM.
How to get your actual number
A real valuation compares your home to the closest recent sales in the same DuPont neighborhood, with similar size, age, and condition — then adjusts for views, updates, lot, and current competition. In a small market, pending sales and active competition matter as much as closed sales.
