July’s Market Stats Are In!

Toronto remained an important market to watch in July. Sales were up 13% compared with July 2025, even as the average sale price remained 7% below last year. Month over month, sales declined 8% and the average price declined 7%. Property type mattered too, with detached, semi-detached and townhouse prices all lower than both last year and June, while condo prices edged 1% higher from June.

Durham Region told a different story. Sales were down 7% year over year and 15% from June, while the average sale price was 9% below last year and 3% below June. But the individual communities show why regional numbers only tell part of the story.

Ajax stood out with sales up 6% year over year and 16% from June, while its average sale price rose 4.5% month over month. Pickering’s average price also increased, up 3% year over year and 4% from June. Oshawa, Clarington and Whitby all recorded lower average prices and fewer sales than a year earlier.

Moving further east, Northumberland’s average sale price increased 7% from June, while sales were up 30% compared with last year. Within the region, Port Hope recorded a 12% month-over-month increase in average price, while Cobourg was up 21%. Peterborough and Kawartha Lakes moved in the opposite direction, with average prices declining from both June and last year.

A great takeaway from our July office meeting was taking a closer look at what's happening in our local real estate market 📍

The latest stats show sales activity picked up in many of our local communities through June, while average sale prices remained fairly steady across most of Durham Region. It's a good reminder that a busy market doesn't always mean dramatic price changes, and every community has its own story.

If you're curious about what these trends mean for your neighbourhood, I'm always happy to chat real estate.

The Bank of Canada Keeps Interest Rate at 2.25%
No changes... again. The Bank of Canada has held its key interest rate steady for the 6th straight time.

Here's Why
• Canada's economy is showing signs of growth after a slow start to the year
• Inflation is still above target, but it's expected to cool over the coming months
• Consumer spending and exports are helping support the economy
• Global risks, including Middle East tensions and U.S. trade talks, are still creating uncertainty

Bottom Line
The Bank says it's prepared to raise or lower rates if needed, but for now it believes 2.25% is the right level.
Borrowing costs aren't changing today, and unless inflation flares up again, interest rates are expected to stay where they are for the rest of the year.

Checked out the new Paradise Beach Bar at the Ajax waterfront yesterday, and it’s definitely worth a visit! 🌴🍹

Great atmosphere, cold drinks, tasty food, and a relaxed beach vibe right here in our own backyard. It’s nice to see a local spot bringing people together along our beautiful waterfront.

If you’re looking for a cool place to unwind this summer, add it to your list! ☀️🌮🍻

Your Market Update 📣
Across Durham, Northumberland, Peterborough, Kawartha Lakes and the GTA, one trend stood out above everything else, Buyers are coming back! ✨

⬆️ Sales activity increased almost everywhere, continuing a pattern that's been building over the past several months. In Durham, this marks the 4th consecutive month of increasing sales. The GTA posted stronger year-over-year sales even as new listings declined, a combination that suggests competition is gradually beginning to tighten.

📍Durham Region continues to show remarkable stability. Average prices barely moved month-over-month while sales climbed, creating balanced conditions that benefit both buyers and sellers.
🔹Pickering saw sales jump 28% year over year while homes continued selling for 99% of asking price.
🔹Clarington was one of the strongest performers, with sales up 16% from May and 5% year over year, even as average prices eased, giving buyers more opportunities.
🔹Whitby and Oshawa both remained incredibly competitive, with homes selling at essentially full asking price and average days on market staying in the low 20s.
🔹Ajax continues to stand out for buyers looking for value in west Durham, posting a monthly price increase while maintaining one of the quickest selling times in the region.

🏡 Looking outside Durham, Kawartha Lakes experienced one of the strongest monthly price gains, with average prices rising 5%.
🔸Peterborough continues to quietly strengthen. Sales climbed more than 20% year-over-year, average prices remained remarkably stable, and detached homes were actually more expensive than a year ago, reinforcing the area's long-term resilience.

🔎The biggest takeaway? This is no longer one market. Each community is following its own path. Some are seeing stronger demand, others are offering buyers more negotiating power, while a few premium markets are quietly regaining momentum. Broad headlines rarely tell the full story.

🎯Whether you're buying, selling, or simply keeping an eye on your neighbourhood, understanding what's happening locally has never been more important.

The Spring Market Is In Full Swing!

💪 The spring market continued to strengthen across the GTA. Sales activity increased, inventory tightened, and buyer confidence improved.

📊 Momentum picked up across the Durham Region and east. Peterborough and Prince Edward County stood out with the strongest price growth, while Durham remained stable.

☀️Kawartha Lakes and Northumberland saw increased sales activity but softer pricing, giving buyers more negotiating power.

⚖️ While inventory remains higher in many areas, the gap between sales and new listings narrowed in May, pointing toward a balanced market.

👀 Looking ahead, if sales strengthen further relative to listings, selling prices will level off and even start to grow as we move into 2027.

GTA home sales were up 6.3 per cent in May while new listings dropped 18.9 per cent compared to May 2025, signaling tighter market conditions as the spring market gains momentum.

Even with inventory trending lower, buyers continued to benefit from improved affordability on the back of lower selling prices and borrowing costs compared to last year.
