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.

Swipe through to see what happened in your area and how July compared to last month, and last year!

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.

SOLD!

Some homes 🏡 are so much more than bricks and mortar.

I've had the privilege of helping sell a home that has been in the same family for many years. Within those walls are decades of memories. Family dinners, holidays, milestones, laughter, and countless everyday moments that made it a home.
Selling a property with so much history is never just another transaction. It's an emotional chapter, and I'm incredibly grateful that this family trusted me to help guide them through it with care and respect.

Being invited into such an important moment in someone's life is something I never take for granted. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your family's story. It truly means more than you know
