Durham Region Real Estate Market Analysis – December 2025
The Durham Region housing market closed out 2025 with a familiar seasonal slowdown in December, marked by fewer sales, reduced new listings, and longer selling times. While prices remained under pressure compared to last year, month-over-month values edged slightly higher, and inventory tightened enough to keep the market firmly in balanced territory—setting the stage for a potentially more active start to 2026.

Average Sale Price Edges Up Month-Over-Month
The average sale price in December came in at $844,473, up 0.4% from November’s $840,833, though still 9.2% lower than December 2024’s $930,207.
This modest monthly increase suggests that prices may be beginning to stabilize, even as overall activity slows during the holiday season. With fewer transactions taking place, pricing tends to reflect only the most motivated buyers and sellers, which can help limit sharper swings.
.
Sale-to-List Price Ratio Holds at 98%
The sale-to-list price ratio remained unchanged at 98%, consistent with November but down from 100% last year. This continues to signal a market where buyers have negotiating power, while sellers who price realistically can still achieve close-to-asking-price results.
Sales Slow Seasonally but Improve Year-Over-Year
Durham recorded 455 sales in December, down from 622 in November, in line with the typical holiday slowdown. Notably, sales were higher than December 2024’s 404 transactions, pointing to underlying demand that may carry into the new year once seasonal constraints ease.
New Listings Pull Back Sharply
New listings dropped to 529, down significantly from 1,186 in November, and slightly above 486 listings last December. This sharp decline reflects many sellers opting to wait for the spring market, which helped prevent inventory from building excessively at year-end.
Homes Take Longer to Sell as Inventory Tightens
The average days on market rose to 60 days, up from 51 in November, showing buyers are taking more time to make decisions. Despite slower sales, months of inventory dipped to 3.13, down from 3.46, keeping Durham just inside balanced market territory.
The tightening in inventory is largely the result of fewer new listings rather than an increase in buyer activity.
Conclusion
December 2025 closed out the year with predictable seasonal softness, but without signs of instability. Prices edged slightly higher month-over-month, inventory tightened, and year-over-year sales improved modestly.
As Durham Region heads into 2026, the market appears to be resetting rather than retreating. Buyers may continue to benefit from balanced conditions and negotiation opportunities, while sellers who prepare early and price strategically could be well-positioned as activity begins to build in the months ahead.
Year-End Summary (December 2025)
As 2025 comes to a close, the Durham Region real estate market has clearly transitioned into a more balanced and sustainable environment. While prices finished the year lower than 2024, month-over-month stability, tightening inventory, and a modest improvement in year-over-year December sales suggest that the market is resetting rather than declining. Buyers and sellers alike are entering 2026 with more predictable conditions, realistic pricing expectations, and renewed focus on strategy over urgency.
