🏡 MARKET STATS MONDAY — DURHAM REGION

Here's what happened in the Durham Region real estate market for the week ending October 25, 2026.

🏠 Average Sale Price: $764,000
📊 Sale-to-Ask Ratio: 98.1%
⏳ Average Days on Market: 30.6
🔑 Properties Sold: 105
📍 New Listings: 371

Sellers, pay attention!

The numbers are looking eerily similar to this time last year.

If inventory doesn't start dropping as we approach the new year, we could be heading into 2027 with a significant number of unsold homes, just as the next wave of listings hits the market.

That could mean even more competition for sellers come spring.

Thinking of selling in 2027? Your timing and strategy could make all the difference.

🏡 MARKET STATS TUESDAY!

A day late thanks to some Facebook technical difficulties, but the Durham Region numbers are in!

Here's what happened in the local housing market last week:

🏘️ PICKERING — 435 Active | 12 Sold

🏘️ AJAX — 317 Active | 9 Sold

🏘️ WHITBY/BROOKLIN — 464 Active | 19 Sold

🏘️ OSHAWA — 731 Active | 23 Sold

🏘️ COURTICE/BOWMANVILLE — 338 Active | 13 Sold

🏘️ NEWCASTLE — 86 Active | 3 Sold

🏘️ SCUGOG — 175 Active | 6 Sold

📊 DURHAM AREA TOTAL
2,546 Active Listings | 85 Sold

⏱️ Average days on market for homes that sold: 21.5 days.

Here's what caught my attention.

There are 2,546 homes available across these communities, but only 85 sold last week.

That means buyers have plenty of choices, and sellers have plenty of competition.

But here's the interesting part: the homes that actually sold spent an average of just 21.5 days on the market.

Homes are selling. Not every home is selling. There's a difference.

Whether you're thinking of buying, selling, or just wondering what your home is worth in today's market, I'm always happy to have a conversation.

🏡 DURHAM REAL ESTATE | MARKET STATS TUESDAY

Thanksgiving weekend is behind us, and the latest Durham Region numbers tell an interesting story.

📊 Week ending October 11, 2026

🏠 2,524 active listings — down 6.4% from last year

🔑 114 homes sold — up 25.3% from last year

📍 348 new listings — down 6.2% from last year

📉 35 expired listings — up 52.2% from last year

So what does this mean?

Buyers are still making moves. In fact, more homes sold this week than during the same week last year.

But let's keep things in perspective. There are still over 2,500 properties available across our local market, and buyers have plenty of choices.

For sellers, pricing and presentation matter. Simply putting a home on the market and hoping for the best isn't a strategy.

For buyers, there are opportunities worth exploring, but that doesn't mean every property is a bargain.

The market doesn't owe us a spring recovery.

Whether you're buying, selling, or just trying to figure out your next move, let's have a conversation.

💰 $801,828 average sale price
📊 99.08% of final asking price achieved

📊 MARKET STATS MONDAY — DURHAM REGION

October started with a pretty big pile of expired listings across Durham Region.
📅 Some context matters here: a lot of these expiries are the normal month-end contract hangover, with listings set to expire September 30th. So I wouldn’t look at one week and say the sky is falling.

⚠️ But it’s still a lot of homes that were on the market and didn’t sell.
🏠 Oshawa — 37
🏠 Pickering — 25
🏠 Ajax — 23
🏠 Whitby/Brooklin — 18
🏠 Scugog — 14
🏠 Courtice/Bowmanville — 8
🏠 Newcastle — 2

📈 When you look at the graphs going back to 2024, the bigger story is pretty clear: inventory remains high while weekly sales continue to run well below the number of homes available.

👀 Buyers have choices — and sellers have competition.

If you’re thinking about selling, or your home was on the market and didn’t sell, the question isn’t just “When will the market get better?”
The better question is:
What does the market look like right now, and what would we need to do to get you sold in it?

Market Stats Monday — a day late, but the numbers still matter. 📊

Inventory continues to build across Durham Region, while sales are simply not keeping pace.

And sellers should be careful with the idea of “I’ll just wait until the market comes back in the spring.”
A lot of sellers made that decision last year — and for many, waiting came at a significant cost as inventory increased and competition became tougher.

Nobody knows exactly what the spring market will bring. But if you need to sell, waiting and hoping isn't a strategy.

Get the property on the market. Price it for the market you're actually in. Make the adjustments you need to make. And get it sold.
There are buyers out there — but with this much choice, sellers have to compete for them.

Market Stats Monday 📊 — Week Ending September 20

Inventory has started creeping back up across the Durham-area markets I track.

This week across the seven Markets:
2,491 active listings | 436 new listings | 93 sales | 40 expired listings

Compared with the same week last year, active inventory is actually down 9.7%, while sales are down 11.4%.

The number that jumps out at me? Expired listings are up 73.9%.

More homes are failing to sell, pricing and strategy matter.

Market Stats Monday 📊

The summer market is winding down, and one trend is pretty clear across Durham Region: active inventory has been falling.

Whitby, Ajax, Oshawa, Pickering, Courtice/Bowmanville and Newcastle have all seen the number of homes available for sale come down from their summer highs.

Sales, meanwhile, continue to move at a much steadier pace.

Now comes the interesting part.

Will the traditional post-Labour-Day fall market bring a fresh wave of listings?

If it does, sellers will have more competition. If it doesn’t, buyers could find themselves choosing from a much tighter selection of homes than we saw earlier this summer.

Either way, September should tell us a lot about where the fall market is headed.

And with tomorrow being a big day for a lot of families, good luck to everyone heading back to school, starting university, beginning a new job, or just starting a new chapter. Hope it’s a great one!

MARKET STATS MONDAY 🏡📊

As we head into September, there’s something sellers should be watching.

Active inventory has started to ease from its summer highs in several Durham Region markets. But there’s also a lot of chatter among agents about new listings being held back for the September market.

If those properties all start hitting at once, we could see another rush of inventory — and that means even more competition for sellers.

We can already see how much choice buyers have:

Whitby: Inventory has eased slightly but remains in the mid-400s.

Ajax: Active listings have pulled back from their summer peak, but inventory still significantly outweighs weekly sales.

Pickering: Inventory has been trending down recently after climbing through the spring.

Oshawa: Inventory has levelled off after its spring and summer climb, but remains high.

Courtice/Bowmanville: Inventory remains around the 300 mark with sales running well below available supply.

Newcastle: The biggest recent change — inventory has fallen considerably from its early-summer peak.

Here's what I'll be watching next:

DOES SEPTEMBER BRING MORE BUYERS — OR DOES THE EXPECTED WAVE OF NEW LISTINGS ARRIVE FIRST?

For sellers considering coming to market this fall, that's important. If a large number of homeowners have the same September plan, waiting could mean launching into more competition, not less.

And for buyers, another inventory increase could mean even more selection and negotiating leverage.
