Uxbridge History • November 5, 2025

86 Brock St W Uxbridge

by Shane Coxworth

86 Brock Street West – From Printing Press to Modern Hub

Nestled in the heart of Uxbridge’s historic downtown, 86 Brock Street West has been a cornerstone of community enterprise for more than 150 years. Its story begins in 1869, when the building first came alive with the sound of the printing press. That June, the first edition of The Uxbridge Journal—the town’s first successful newspaper—rolled off the presses right here. The Journal quickly became an important voice for local news, events, and progress, helping to document the town’s growth and spirit through the late 19th century.

Over the decades, as technology and times changed, so too did the uses of this building. By the 1970s, the scent of ink and paper had long since faded, replaced instead by the aroma of freshly baked pizza. Locals will remember Pizza Village, a popular spot for families and friends to gather. In the 90’s, the business changed hands and signage, becoming Sammy’s Pizza and Subs, continuing the tradition of serving up comfort food from this well-loved address.

In 2002, 86 Brock Street West underwent a major renovation and received a fresh new look, complete with a coat of grey paint. Following the facelift, the building became home to Strawberry Threads, a women’s clothing boutique known for its unique fashions, on the main floor, and The Tin Cup, a cozy café, on the lower level. Together, they brought a renewed energy to this corner of downtown Uxbridge, blending retail and community connection in one space.

The years that followed saw the building continue to evolve with the times. It later housed Nortek, a local technology company, and an insurance brokerage, reflecting Uxbridge’s growing mix of small businesses and professional services.

In 2020, 86 Brock Street West received another round of extensive renovations. The foundation was repaired, the bricks were cleaned and restored to their original colour, and the structure was brought back to its former charm — a beautiful blend of heritage character and modern craftsmanship.

86 Brock St W, 2025

Today, 86 Brock Street West stands as a proud example of Uxbridge’s ability to honour its past while embracing the future. From printing presses to pizzerias, boutiques to business offices, this storied building continues to be a vital part of the town’s ever-evolving landscape — a reminder that history lives on not only in our archives but also in the walls that surround us every day.

There were 10 price adjustments, matching the steady pace of recent weeks.

Sales activity showed some balance, with 2 properties sold conditionally (down from 4 last week) and 7 sold firm, an increase from 5 the week prior.

At week’s end, there were 156 active listings in Uxbridge, down from 164 the previous week — a sign that some sellers may be holding off as we move deeper into fall.

🏠 Scugog

In Scugog, there were 3 new listings this week, down from 7 last week, along with 5 properties returning to the market after being previously listed.

8 properties had price adjustments — consistent with last week’s numbers.

Week of October 19 – 27

As we move further into the fall real estate season, both Uxbridge and Scugog continue to show steady market activity. Inventory levels remain healthy, with moderate listing and sales numbers as buyers and sellers adjust to the shifting pace of the market.

Weekly Real Estate Market Minute for the Townships of Uxbridge and Scugog

Here’s how the week of October 19th to October 25th shaped up:

Uxbridge

7 new listings (down from 10 last week)
7 properties were relisted and brought back to the market
11 price adjustments (down from 19 last week)
4 properties sold conditionally (same as last week)
5 properties sold firm (up from 2 last week)

141 active listings at week’s end

Both townships are showing balanced fall activity. While the number of new listings has softened slightly, sales remain steady, indicating that buyers are still actively engaged.

Monday Market Minute – Uxbridge & Scugog Real Estate Update
Week of October 12 to October 18

This week’s numbers show both Uxbridge and Scugog continuing to move through a steady fall market, with a few interesting shifts in listings and price activity.

Weekly Real Estate Market Minute for the Townships of Uxbridge and Scugog

Let’s start in Uxbridge:

10 new listings hit the market this week (up from 7 last week),
14 properties were relisted,
19 properties saw price adjustments (more than double the 9 from last week),
4 properties sold conditionally, and
2 properties sold firm.

We’re seeing more sellers adjusting pricing to attract buyers, which is typical for this time of year as the market finds its balance heading into late fall.

Moving to Scugog:

6 new listings (down from 7 last week),
4 relisted properties,
9 price adjustments (down from 13 last week),
5 conditional sales, and
10 firm sales, an increase from 9 last week.

Overall, both markets remain balanced—buyers are taking their time, while sellers are showing flexibility on pricing.

As we move deeper into October, it will be interesting to see if listing activity holds or starts to taper off as we head toward the winter season.

Toronto Regional Real Estate Board – Market Stats At A Glance – September 2025

Brock Township Real Estate Market Analysis – September 2025

The real estate market in the Township of Brock experienced a significant price correction in September 2025, as average sale prices dropped sharply from August’s highs. However, despite lower prices, sales activity strengthened, and inventory levels stabilized—signaling a shift back toward a balanced market after several months favoring buyers.

September 2025

August 2025

Average Sale Price Declines Sharply

The average sale price in September 2025 was $664,489, a 21.7% decrease from August’s $848,623 and a 26.0% drop year-over-year from $898,438 in September 2024.

This sharp decline can largely be attributed to fewer high-end sales. In August, two properties sold for over $1.5 million, heavily influencing that month’s average. In contrast, September saw only one property sell for $1.1 million, with the remaining 13 homes selling for under $700,000. This shift toward lower-priced transactions offers a clearer reflection of the true mid-market activity in Brock Township.

Sales Volume Increases Despite Lower Prices

Interestingly, sales activity picked up in September, with 19 homes sold, compared to 13 in August and 8 in September 2024. This uptick suggests that more affordable pricing has re-engaged buyers who may have been previously priced out of the market.

Sale-to-List Price Ratio Falls

The sale-to-list price ratio dropped to 93%, down notably from 98% in August and 97% this time last year. This decline indicates that buyers are negotiating more aggressively, and sellers may be adjusting expectations in response to broader market conditions.

Inventory Remains Stable

Inventory levels held relatively steady, with 93 active listings, just below 95 in August and slightly above 90 listings in September 2024. New listings rose to 49, up from 34 in August, though still below the 52 recorded last year. The consistent number of available homes suggests the market is maintaining a healthy level of supply as demand continues to adjust.

Days on Market & Inventory Balance

Properties spent an average of 61 days on the market, indicating that homes are taking longer to sell compared to earlier in the year. Meanwhile, months of inventory dipped to 4.89, down from 7.31 in August, moving Brock Township back into a balanced market where supply and demand are more evenly aligned.

Conclusion

September 2025 marked a correction phase in the Brock Township real estate market. Prices pulled back significantly after several months of luxury-driven averages, but sales volume increased as more buyers entered the market at lower price points. With inventory stabilizing and months of supply moderating, the market is now finding its footing in a more balanced position.

Heading into the fall, expect continued cautious optimism—buyers have regained some leverage, while sellers who price competitively will continue to see solid interest and successful sales.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) from January 2024 through September 2025 provide a clear snapshot of how the Durham Region real estate market has evolved across all property types, architectural styles, and home configurations

Toronto Regional Real Estate Board – Market Stats At A Glance – September 2025

Scugog Township Real Estate Market Analysis – September 2025

The Township of Scugog’s real estate market saw a noticeable shift in September 2025, with stronger sales activity and a surge in average prices, largely driven by higher-end property transactions. While buyer opportunities remain, the market edged closer to balance as demand picked up heading into the fall season.

September 2025

August 2025

Average Sales Price

The average sales price in Scugog climbed to $1,088,279 in September 2025 — a 15.7% increase year-over-year from $940,838 in September 2024, and a 21.6% jump month-over-month from $894,895 in August 2025.

This sharp rise was influenced by several luxury transactions. Five properties sold between $1.5 million and $2 million, compared to just one in August. Meanwhile, 16 homes sold under $1 million, showing that while the upper-end sales boosted the average, the market still has activity across various price points.

This blend of affordability and high-value sales suggests a healthy mix of market interest from both move-up buyers and first-time homeowners.

Sales Activity

September saw 29 total sales, up from 20 in August, but slightly below the 32 sales recorded last September. The sale-to-list price ratio came in at 96%, dipping slightly from 97% in August, which shows buyers are still negotiating successfully — though the gap between asking and selling prices remains relatively tight.

This pickup in sales volume reflects renewed buyer confidence, even amid broader economic uncertainty and lingering affordability challenges across the GTA.

Listings & Inventory

New listings surged in September, reaching 96, nearly doubling the 50 new listings recorded in August and well above 70 from last year. Active listings also ticked up to 132, compared to 128 last month and 98 a year ago, offering buyers more choice and sellers more competition.

The months of inventory fell from 6.40 in August to 4.55, marking a move from a buyer’s market back into balanced market territory. This tightening suggests demand is absorbing listings more quickly as the fall market gains momentum.

Days on Market

Homes in Scugog took an average of 57 days to sell, a modest improvement from 64 days in August. While properties are still spending nearly two months on the market, this shorter timeline hints at stronger buyer engagement compared to the slower pace earlier this summer.

Key Takeaways

Average price jumped 21.6% month-over-month, boosted by five luxury sales over $1.5 million.
Sales volume increased, showing renewed market activity heading into fall.
New listings nearly doubled, expanding buyer choice and easing pressure on prices.
Months of inventory dropped to 4.55, signaling a shift toward balance.
Homes sold faster, reflecting improving buyer confidence.

As we move deeper into the fall market, Scugog continues to stabilize. With prices trending upward and inventory holding steady, both buyers and sellers can find opportunities. Buyers should act decisively on well-priced listings, while sellers should stay realistic on pricing to stand out in an active but balanced market.

Uxbridge Township Real Estate Market Analysis – September 2025

The Uxbridge housing market showed a strong rebound in September 2025, with the average sale price climbing to $1,385,109, marking a 15.2% increase from August’s $1,202,325 and an impressive 29.8% jump from September 2024’s $1,067,444. This upward movement was driven by a noticeable shift in the types of properties selling — with more higher-end homes trading hands compared to the previous month and the same period last year.

In August 2025, only one property sold above $2 million, and nearly half of all sales were under $1 million. In contrast, September saw two properties sell over $2 million and eight additional properties sell between $1.5 million and $2 million, pulling the average price upward. This change in sales composition highlights a return of mid- to upper-tier buyers to the market.

September 2025

August 2025

Sales Activity

A total of 23 homes were sold in September, slightly higher than August’s 21 sales and September 2024’s 20 sales. The modest increase suggests steady buyer interest, especially in higher-value properties, despite broader market uncertainty.

Sale-to-List Price Ratio

The sale-to-list price ratio remained steady at 96%, unchanged from August. This consistency indicates that while prices rose, buyers are still negotiating, and sellers are pricing properties more realistically to meet current market conditions.

Active Listings

Active listings increased to 133, up from 123 in August and 99 at the same time last year. The ongoing rise in available properties reflects a healthy level of supply, providing buyers with plenty of options while preventing prices from overheating.

New Listings

The number of new listings jumped to 87, compared to 50 in August and 70 in September 2024. This surge in new inventory could signal renewed seller confidence, as homeowners look to take advantage of stronger prices and steady sales activity heading into the fall market.

Days on Market

Properties took an average of 73 days to sell in September, up slightly from 67 days in August, suggesting that while buyer interest is solid, transactions are still taking time to finalize—especially in higher price brackets.

Months of Inventory

The months of inventory fell slightly to 5.78, down from 6.15 in August, moving the market just into balanced territory. This subtle shift hints that while buyers still hold some leverage, market conditions are stabilizing, balancing supply and demand more evenly.

Conclusion

September 2025 marked a turning point for the Uxbridge real estate market, with a significant rise in average sale prices driven by a wave of higher-end home sales. Despite longer selling times and a steady sale-to-list ratio, the market continues to show resilience as it edges closer to balance.

With more listings coming to market and consistent buyer interest, Uxbridge is showing signs of stability after months of fluctuation. As we move into the fall, both buyers and sellers will be watching closely to see whether this momentum carries forward or if the market cools once again.

Durham Region Real Estate Market Analysis – September 2025

As summer turned to fall, the Durham Region real estate market showed encouraging signs of balance and resilience in September 2025. Prices edged higher for the first time in months, sales activity gained momentum, and inventory levels remained stable—suggesting that buyers and sellers are adapting to a new normal. While year-over-year prices are still slightly lower, the gap continues to narrow, hinting at renewed stability. With the GTA market seeing renewed strength, time will tell whether that momentum will ripple eastward into Durham or if the region will continue to move at its own steady pace.

September 2025

August 2025

📈 Average Sale Price Edges Up for the First Time in Months

The average sale price rose to $877,963 in September, up 2.0% from August’s $860,951, though still 1.85% lower than September 2024’s $894,499. This is the first month-over-month price increase since the spring, indicating a modest rebound in buyer confidence as the market adjusts to new realities.

📊 Sales Activity Strengthens Year Over Year

There were 707 home sales in September 2025, up from 676 in August and 672 in September 2024. This marks the second consecutive month of year-over-year sales growth, signaling that demand remains steady despite affordability challenges. Buyers appear to be re-engaging as prices soften and more options become available.

📉 Sale-to-List Price Ratio Holds Steady

The sale-to-list price ratio remained at 98%, unchanged from August but down from 100% last year. This consistency shows that sellers are pricing more realistically, while buyers continue to negotiate with confidence. Homes are still selling close to asking, but the era of frequent bidding wars has clearly passed.

📈 Listings Increase, Keeping the Market Balanced

New listings climbed to 2,082, up from 1,675 in August and 1,964 in September 2024. Despite the increase in supply, the months of inventory held steady at 3.97, virtually unchanged from 3.99 the month before. This stability indicates that supply and demand are moving in tandem, maintaining a balanced market environment across the region.

⏳ Homes Taking Slightly Longer to Sell

The average property took 46 days to sell in September, up slightly from 43 days in August. This continues the trend of slower-moving sales seen throughout the summer, reflecting a market where buyers are deliberate, and homes require more time and marketing exposure before selling.

Conclusion

The Durham Region real estate market in September 2025 continued to show resilience and balance. Prices rose slightly for the first time in several months, sales improved both month-over-month and year-over-year, and inventory remained stable. While the market is clearly more measured than in past years, it’s also more sustainable—offering opportunities for both buyers and sellers.

With the GTA market showing renewed energy, time will tell if that momentum trickles eastward into Durham or if local conditions continue to chart their own steady course. For now, Durham remains a balanced and competitive market—defined by realistic pricing, steady demand, and a gradual return to normalcy after several dynamic years.

Monday Market Minute – Uxbridge & Scugog Real Estate Update
Week of September 28 to October 4

As we move into October, the real estate markets in both Uxbridge and Scugog are showing signs of the typical fall transition — fewer new listings but steady buyer activity. Let’s take a look at how things shaped up during the week of September 28 to October 4.

Weekly Real Estate Market Minute for the Townships of Uxbridge and Scugog

Uxbridge Market Update

In Uxbridge, we saw 7 new listings, down from 15 the previous week. Another 2 properties that had been previously listed were brought back to market.

There were 9 price adjustments, compared to 17 last week — showing some stabilization in pricing as sellers adapt to current market conditions.

Sales activity remained steady with 3 properties selling conditionally, the same as last week, and 6 properties selling firm, down slightly from 9.

At the end of the week, Uxbridge had 164 active listings, down from 170 the week before. Among these were 19 vacant land properties and 9 condominiums, continuing to provide a variety of options for buyers looking for different types of investments.

Scugog Market Update

In Scugog, 4 new listings hit the market, a drop from 11 the previous week. An additional 10 previously listed properties were brought back to market.

There were 18 price adjustments, compared to 21 last week, suggesting continued efforts from sellers to stay competitive.

6 properties sold conditionally — unchanged from the week prior — while 6 properties sold firm, just one less than last week’s total.

By week’s end, there were 150 active listings in Scugog, down from 163 the week before. Of these, 8 were vacant land properties and 4 were condominiums.

Market Insights

Overall, both markets are showing a gradual cooling in new listings as we move further into fall — a trend that’s typical for this time of year. However, steady conditional and firm sales indicate that buyers are still active, particularly as they aim to secure homes before winter and potential interest rate changes.

Sellers who are serious about moving this season should focus on pricing competitively and presenting their home in top condition to stand out in the crowd.

Uxbridge History • October 1, 2025

Siloam United Church

by Shane Coxworth

A Look Back at the History of

Siloam United Church and Cemetery

Nestled along Durham Regional Road 8, the Siloam Cemetery stands as a quiet reminder of a once-thriving rural congregation whose roots stretch back to the mid-19th century. Both the church and cemetery are deeply tied to the families who settled and built community in this part of Uxbridge Township.

Early Beginnings

Before the church itself was even established, the land became a place of remembrance. The first known burial took place in 1859, when William Frankish was laid to rest. His grave marks the beginning of what would become the Siloam Cemetery, a final resting place for many of the area’s early residents.

In 1874, Samuel and Mercy Widdifield sold land for both a church and cemetery, officially securing the site as a place of worship and community gathering. Just one year later, in 1875, the church was dedicated, standing proudly as a beacon of faith for the surrounding rural community.

Stepping Inside the Church

Like many rural churches of its time, Siloam was built with both simplicity and purpose. Passing through the Narthex, the small entrance vestibule, worshippers entered the Nave, where two aisles divide the pews into three sections. The outer rows hold seven pews each, while the inner row contain six. Families would slip into their places, coats neatly folded at their sides, as neighbours greeted one another in hushed tones.

The church is filled with light from three tall windows on either side, their glass catching the sun and illuminating the wooden interior. In winter, the glow of the wood stove at the back provided warmth, its chimney stretching the length of the church to distribute heat as best it could.

At the front stands the Sanctuary, the raised space where the Altar is set. Here, ministers led the congregation in hymns and prayer, their voices echoing against the tall ceiling as the faithful joined in, filling the little church with song and devotion.

Entrance to the Nave and wood stove

The Sanctuary and Altar

Becoming Siloam United

For the next several decades, the church served as a cornerstone for the local congregation. Like many other Methodist churches across Canada, it transitioned in 1925 when the Methodist, Presbyterian, and Congregationalist churches united to form the United Church of Canada. With this change, the congregation adopted the new name Siloam United Church, and the cemetery was renamed Siloam United Church Cemetery.

Closing and Legacy

By the mid-20th century, rural church attendance had begun to decline. In 1966, after more than 90 years of service, the doors of Siloam United Church were closed. While the congregation may have moved on, the memory and significance of the building and cemetery were never forgotten.

Today, the cemetery is simply known as Siloam Cemetery, and both it and the former church property remain well cared for. Each year, an annual gathering celebrates the history of this sacred space, welcoming families, descendants, and community members to honour the past and preserve the stories of those who once worshipped and lived here.

Attached wood shed

A Lasting Place of Reflection

Though the church no longer holds weekly services, the Siloam Cemetery and its historic building continue to embody the enduring spirit of the community. They stand as a link between the present and the early pioneers of Uxbridge Township—an enduring reminder of faith, family, and heritage.

Uxbridge History • September 17, 2025

A Church Transformed: The History of Uxbridge’s Former Free Methodist Building

by Shane Coxworth

A Church Transformed:

The History of Uxbridge’s Former Free Methodist Building

From Sanctuary to Suites: The Story of Uxbridge’s Former Free Methodist Church

At 61 Main Street South in Uxbridge stands a building that quietly blends history with modern living. Today it’s a fourplex with four private residences, but its walls tell a story that reaches back nearly 150 years.

Beginnings on Bascom Street

This structure was originally built as a Methodist Episcopal Church on Bascom Street. In 1878—long before modern machinery—Uxbridge residents undertook the remarkable task of moving the entire church to its current location on Main Street South. Such building relocations were feats of determination and community spirit, using rollers, horses, and sheer manpower.

Becoming the Free Methodist Church

After the move, the church became known as the Free Methodist Church, serving as a place of worship and fellowship for nearly a century. Generations of Uxbridge families gathered here for services, weddings, and community events, making it a spiritual anchor in the heart of town.

Preparing for a New Home

As the congregation grew, so did the need for a larger facility. In September 1963, the church purchased land on Reach Street with plans for a new, more spacious church. This forward-thinking decision paved the way for the next chapter of the congregation’s life.

A New Chapter in 1976

By 1976, the congregation had outgrown the space and built a new Free Methodist Church on the Reach St property. The original building was closed for worship, but its story didn’t end there. Rather than being demolished, it was thoughtfully converted into a fourplex, preserving its heritage while meeting a growing need for housing.

The Free Methodist Church on Reach Road

Historic Character Meets Modern Living

Even though its windows and exterior have been updated, the property still retains the proportions and overall silhouette of a traditional church, a quiet nod to its origins. Inside, the building now contains four fully self-contained units—three spacious two-bedroom suites and one well-appointed one-bedroom unit—each with its own private entrance, full four-piece bathroom, kitchen, and living area.

61 Main Street South is more than just a residence; it’s a testament to Uxbridge’s ability to adapt and preserve its history. Next time you pass by, take a moment to appreciate how this former house of worship continues to serve the community—just in a different way.

Toronto Regional Real Estate Board – Market Stats At A Glance – August 2025

Brock Township Real Estate Market Analysis – August 2025

The Brock Township real estate market showed strong price growth in August 2025, even as sales activity eased slightly and inventory conditions tilted further into a buyer’s market. High-value transactions once again influenced average pricing, while overall demand remained steady.

August 2025

July 2025

Average Sale Price Jumps – Driven by Luxury Sales

The average sale price in August 2025 climbed to $848,623, representing a 19.7% increase from July 2025 ($708,738) and a 13.3% rise year-over-year from $749,240 in August 2024.

However, this figure is skewed by the sale of two properties over $1.5 million, while the rest of the month’s transactions closed under $950,000. In July, a farm property sold for $1.3 million, but more than half of sales that month were under $800,000. This shows that while average prices are up, most homes in Brock continue to sell in a more moderate price range.

Sales Activity Slows Seasonally

There were 13 home sales in August, down from 16 in July 2025, but still above the 10 sales recorded in August 2024. This dip reflects the usual late-summer slowdown, though year-over-year growth highlights that demand remains stronger than last year.

Sale-to-List Price Ratio Strengthens

Sellers enjoyed slightly more favourable conditions in August, with the sale-to-list price ratio improving to 98%, up from 96% in July and 97% last year. This suggests that buyers, despite more choices, are willing to pay close to asking prices for well-priced properties.

Inventory Remains Elevated

Active listings totaled 95, just below July’s 98, but well above the 75 listings recorded in August 2024. New listings, however, slowed to 34, compared to 58 in July, though still higher than the 30 new listings last year. This slight pullback may help temper supply growth heading into the fall.

Days on Market & Buyer’s Market Conditions

Homes took an average of 50 days to sell, reflecting longer selling times compared to earlier this year. Meanwhile, months of inventory increased to 7.31, up from 6.13 in July, pushing Brock Township further into buyer’s market territory. Buyers now have greater negotiating power, particularly in mid-range price brackets where inventory is deepest.

Conclusion

August 2025 was a month of contrasts for the Brock Township real estate market. While the average sale price rose sharply due to a handful of luxury transactions, the majority of homes sold at more typical price points. Sales activity cooled slightly, but remained stronger than last year, while elevated inventory continues to favor buyers. As the market transitions into the fall season, sellers will need to remain competitive on pricing and presentation, while buyers benefit from more choice and negotiating leverage.

From Toronto Regional Real Estate Board

Toronto Regional Real Estate Board – Market Stats At A Glance – August 2025

Scugog Real Estate Market Update – August 2025

The Township of Scugog’s housing market saw a mix of ups and downs in August 2025, reflecting the balancing act between buyer demand and available supply.

August 2025

July 2025

Average Sales Price

The average sales price for August came in at $894,895, which represents a 13.1% decline year-over-year compared to $1,029,883 in August 2024. However, prices made a notable rebound month-over-month, rising 11.2% from $804,833 in July 2025.

Luxury sales helped drive this increase. In August, two properties sold for over $1 million, including one that reached $1.5 million. By comparison, July also had two million-dollar-plus transactions, though at lower thresholds, while last August saw three homes sell for over $2 million.

Sales Activity

There were 20 total sales in August 2025, slightly down from 21 in July and 23 last August. Despite the decline locally, this runs counter to the GTA-wide trend, where overall sales were up 2.3% year-over-year.

The sale-to-list price ratio held steady at 97%, the same as July, but up from 94% last year, showing that sellers are aligning closely with market expectations.

Listings & Inventory

New supply slowed in August with 50 new listings, down from 65 in July and slightly lower than 53 last year. Active listings sat at 128, compared to 134 last month and 101 in August 2024, indicating that while choice remains for buyers, fewer fresh listings entered the market.

The months of inventory ticked up slightly to 6.40 from 6.38 in July, keeping Scugog firmly in buyer’s market territory.

Days on Market

Homes in Scugog took an average of 64 days to sell in August, reflecting a slower pace compared to more competitive markets. This extended timeline reinforces the negotiating power buyers currently hold.

Key Takeaways

Prices rebounded from July but remain well below last year’s levels.
Luxury sales (including one at $1.5M) helped lift the average price.
Sales volume eased, but Scugog is moving against the wider GTA trend of year-over-year growth.
Inventory remains high, and with over 6 months of supply, buyers continue to hold the advantage.

As we move into the fall market, buyers will find opportunities with ample inventory and room to negotiate, while sellers will need to price strategically to attract offers in a competitive environment.

Toronto Regional Real Estate Board – Market Stats At A Glance – August 2025

Uxbridge Township Real Estate Market Analysis – August 2025

The Uxbridge housing market cooled in August 2025, with average home prices dipping sharply after last month’s spike driven by multiple high-end sales. The average sale price fell to $1,202,325, down 17.8% from July’s $1,462,171 and 6.9% lower than August 2024’s $1,291,179.

This shift reflects the different mix of homes sold. In July, six high-value properties sold between $1.5M and $2.5M, which pushed the average higher. In contrast, August saw only one property sell over $2 million, while nearly half of all sales closed under $1 million, pulling the average down significantly.

August 2025

July 2025

Sales Activity

A total of 20 homes were sold in August, unchanged from August 2024 but slightly below July’s 21 sales. This consistency in year-over-year sales suggests demand remains present, though buyers are clearly leaning toward more affordable price points.

Active Listings

There were 123 active listings in August, down from 140 in July, but still higher than the 88 listings recorded in August 2024. While inventory eased slightly, it remains elevated compared to last year, contributing to a market environment where buyers continue to hold the upper hand.

Sale-to-List Price Ratio

The sale-to-list price ratio slipped to 96%, down from 98% in July, showing that buyers are negotiating more aggressively and sellers are adjusting expectations.

New Listings

New listings dropped sharply to 50, down from 82 in July, but still above the 35 new listings in August 2024. This reduction in new supply helped ease total inventory slightly, though overall conditions remain competitive for sellers.

Days on Market

Homes took an average of 67 days to sell in August, up from 65 in July, indicating a slower pace of buyer decision-making. Longer selling times suggest buyers are exercising caution and taking advantage of the wider range of available properties.

Months of Inventory

Months of inventory edged down slightly to 6.15 from 6.67 in July, though it remains above the threshold of a balanced market, keeping Uxbridge firmly in buyer’s market territory.

Conclusion

August 2025 reinforced Uxbridge’s status as a buyer’s market. While total sales held steady, the shift in price mix toward more affordable homes pulled the average sale price down sharply from July’s inflated high. Elevated inventory, longer selling times, and reduced sale-to-list ratios all point to buyers maintaining the upper hand.

For sellers, success in this market will require sharp pricing and patience, while buyers continue to benefit from greater negotiating power and wider selection. As we head into the fall, much will depend on whether new listings remain restrained or whether inventory builds again, putting further pressure on prices.

Toronto Regional Real Estate Board – Market Stats At A Glance – August 2025

Durham Region Real Estate Market Analysis – August 2025

The Durham Region housing market showed further signs of cooling in August 2025, with prices continuing to decline, homes taking longer to sell, and inventory levels rising. With sales activity slower compared to last year, the overall picture reflects a market moving deeper into balance as both buyers and sellers adjust to changing conditions.

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.
