Durham Region Real Estate Market Analysis – January 2026

The Durham Region housing market opened 2026 with a slower start, as prices eased, sales dipped, and inventory levels rose modestly. While January is historically one of the quieter months in real estate, this year’s data reflects a market continuing its transition into balanced territory—offering both buyers and sellers clearer expectations and more measured conditions.

 

January 2026

 

December 2025

Average Sale Price Declines to Start the Year

The average sale price in January 2026 came in at $818,695, representing a 3.1% decrease from December’s $844,473 and an 8.7% drop compared to January 2025’s $896,611.

Seasonality plays a significant role in January pricing. Fewer transactions and cautious buyer activity often put downward pressure on average values at the start of the year. That said, this adjustment appears to be part of a broader normalization trend rather than a sharp correction. Prices continue to reflect a market that has shifted from peak conditions into a more sustainable range.

Sale-to-List Price Ratio Holds at 98%

The sale-to-list price ratio remained steady at 98%, unchanged from December but down from 100% in January 2025. This indicates that while buyers are negotiating slightly more than they were a year ago, sellers who price appropriately are still achieving close to asking price.

Balanced markets typically see ratios between 97% and 99%, and January’s figure reinforces that Durham remains in that range.

Sales Activity Slows Seasonally

There were 412 total sales in January, down from 455 in December and below the 489 sales recorded in January 2025. The slowdown is consistent with typical seasonal patterns, as many buyers and sellers wait until later in the winter or early spring to make a move.

Despite the year-over-year dip, the decline is moderate and aligns with broader cooling trends seen throughout 2025.

 

New Listings Surge as the Market Resets

One of the more notable shifts in January was the increase in new listings.
1,084 new properties hit the market, up significantly from 529 in December, though slightly below 1,213 listings in January 2025.

It’s important to note that January historically sees a wave of properties that were listed late in the previous year, terminated in December, and then reintroduced to the market in the new year. This seasonal relaunch effect contributes to the spike in listing activity and often gives buyers a refreshed selection to start the year.

 

Days on Market and Inventory Rise

Homes spent an average of 59 days on market in January, only slightly below December’s 60 days, indicating that buyers are continuing to take their time before committing.

Meanwhile, months of inventory rose to 3.64, up from 3.13 in December. This increase reflects both the rise in listings and slower sales activity. However, Durham remains comfortably within balanced market territory, where supply and demand are relatively aligned.

 

What This Means Moving Forward

January 2026 reinforces that Durham Region has moved into a stable and balanced phase of the market cycle. Prices have adjusted year-over-year, inventory is rebuilding gradually, and buyers have more breathing room than in previous high-pressure markets.

As we move toward the spring market, the key factors to watch will be:

• Whether buyer activity strengthens with improving weather

• How inventory levels trend once the initial January relistings settle

• Broader economic influences, including interest rates and consumer confidence

For now, Durham’s market is not overheating, nor is it oversupplied—it is operating in a controlled and sustainable environment.
