August 2025

 

July 2025

📉 Average Home Price Declines Sharply

The average sales price fell to $860,951 in August, a 2.7% drop from July’s $885,259 and 5.2% lower than August 2024’s $907,997. This marks one of the sharpest month-over-month declines this year, underscoring the pressure affordability and borrowing costs continue to place on home values.

📊 Sales Volume Dips Below Last Year

Durham Region recorded 676 sales in August 2025, down from 852 in July as the late summer slowdown took hold. Compared to 709 sales in August 2024, this marks a 4.7% year-over-year decline. This runs counter to the broader GTA, where sales actually rose 2.3% compared to last year. The contrast highlights how Durham’s market is cooling more noticeably than the GTA overall, reflecting more cautious buyer activity across the region.

 

📉 Sale-to-List Price Ratio Falls to 98%

For the first time since August 2019, the sale-to-list price ratio dropped to 98%, down from 99% in July. This shift signals that buyers are gaining leverage at the negotiation table, and homes are no longer consistently selling at or above asking price. For sellers, realistic pricing strategies are now more critical than ever.

 

📈 Listings Ease but Inventory Rises

New listings totaled 1,675, a drop from 2,058 in July but slightly higher than the 1,605 recorded in August 2024. Despite fewer new listings month-over-month, the slower pace of sales has pushed months of inventory up to 3.99 from 3.30 in July, moving the market further into balanced territory.

---

⏳ Homes Taking Longer to Sell

The average days on market increased to 43 days, up from 39 in July. This trend highlights growing buyer caution, as purchasers take more time to weigh options, negotiate, and secure financing. Sellers should be prepared for longer marketing periods and fewer multiple-offer scenarios.

Conclusion

The August 2025 Durham Region housing market continued its shift toward balance, with prices declining, the sale-to-list ratio falling to its lowest level since 2019, and homes taking longer to sell. Sales activity dropped both month-over-month and year-over-year, in contrast to the broader GTA, where transactions actually rose compared to last year.

This divergence shows that Durham is cooling faster than surrounding markets, with buyers exercising more caution and sellers needing to adjust expectations. For buyers, this creates greater negotiating power and more choice. For sellers, success will depend on competitive pricing and patience, as properties take longer to attract offers. Heading into the fall, the key question is whether Durham will catch up to the GTA’s slight sales rebound or continue to soften further.
