Durham Region Real Estate Market Analysis – May 2026

The Durham Region housing market continued to show signs of stability in May 2026, with home prices posting another modest monthly gain, sales activity increasing, and inventory levels tightening slightly. While the market remains softer than it was a year ago, the spring season continues to support healthy buyer demand and balanced market conditions.

April 2026

🏡 Home Prices Continue to Edge Higher

The average sale price in May reached $851,065, up 0.8% from April’s $844,018. Despite this month-over-month increase, prices remained 6.0% below May 2025’s average sale price of $905,702.

The second consecutive monthly increase in pricing suggests that the market may be finding greater stability after the adjustments seen throughout the past year. While affordability remains a consideration for many buyers, demand continues to support current price levels.

📉 Sale-to-List Price Ratio Remains Strong

The sale-to-list price ratio held steady at 99%, unchanged from April but down slightly from 100% in May 2025.

This indicates that buyers and sellers remain relatively aligned on pricing expectations. Well-priced homes continue to attract strong interest, while buyers still retain some negotiating power compared to the highly competitive conditions experienced in previous years.

📊 Sales Activity Picks Up Momentum

Durham Region recorded 804 sales in May, an increase from 708 sales in April. While this remains slightly below the 850 sales recorded in May 2025, the gap has narrowed considerably compared to earlier months this year.

The increase in sales reflects continued buyer confidence as we move through the spring market. Improved affordability compared to last year and stable market conditions are helping to keep transactions moving.

📋 New Listings Rise Modestly

There were 1,978 new listings in May, up slightly from 1,923 in April, but still well below the 2,461 new listings recorded in May 2025.

The lower level of new inventory compared to last year continues to help support market balance. While buyers have more options than they did during the peak seller’s market years, supply remains relatively controlled.

 

⏳ Homes Taking Slightly Longer to Sell

The average days on market increased to 37 days, up from 35 days in April. While homes are taking a little longer to sell, the increase is minimal and remains consistent with a balanced market where buyers are taking the time to evaluate their options.

Properties that are priced appropriately and marketed effectively continue to perform well.

📈 Inventory Tightens Slightly

Months of inventory decreased to 3.19, down from 3.29 in April. This slight tightening reflects the increase in sales activity and places Durham Region just above the threshold between a seller’s market and a balanced market.

The current inventory level suggests that neither buyers nor sellers have a significant advantage, creating a healthy environment for transactions.
