â¨Durham Region January 2026 Market Watchâ¨
It's been a hot minute since I posted, but here comes a detailed market report your way!
The Durham market is currently navigating a balanced environment as we move through the winter season. A typical seasonal slowdown has limited recent activity primarily to serious buyers, which has also helped reduce listing competition for those looking to sell.
For Buyers: Your selection of homes is beginning to grow as new listings emerge from their seasonal lows. With fewer multiple-offer scenarios becoming the norm, you can expect a market where selling prices align more closely with, or even land below, the asking price. Increasing buyer confidence is also being supported by recent shifts in mortgage rates, making it an excellent time to get prepared and know your options.
For Sellers: Lower inventory levels mean your property has a better chance of standing out, but a strategic approach is vital. In a market where buyer demand is currently soft, realistic pricing is the most important factor in securing a successful sale. Focusing on professional presentation and wide exposure will help you capture the attention of motivated winter buyers.
