Here’s what actually happened in Durham Region last month. 602 homes sold in August, down 11% from 676 the year before. The average selling price came in at $819,569, down about 5% year-over-year. Days on market held steady, right around 29 days, basically unchanged from last August.
What this means: Durham has moved into a balanced market, not tilted toward buyers or sellers. But new listings are down sharply across the GTA, and if that trend holds into fall, competition for well-priced homes increases and pricing power starts shifting back toward sellers.
If you’re selling, pricing accuracy matters more in a balanced market, not less. If you’re buying, the negotiating room from the past year may start narrowing. Either way, knowing where the market actually stands, not where you assume it stands, is the difference.
