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

Brock Township Real Estate Market Analysis – June 2025

The Brock Township real estate market experienced a notable shift in June 2025, with prices correcting sharply following May’s spike and inventory levels continuing to build. Market conditions have begun to tilt in favor of buyers, driven by increased supply and more moderate price activity.

June 2025

May 2025

Average Sale Price Drops After May Spike

The average sale price in June 2025 dropped to $648,047, marking a 22.8% decline from May’s $839,694 and a 15.3% year-over-year decrease from $764,727 in June 2024. While the decline may appear steep, it’s important to remember that May’s average was significantly skewed by two high-end sales ($1,630,000 and $1,400,000). In contrast, no properties sold over $1 million in June, offering a more grounded and realistic view of current market pricing.

Sales Activity Remains Steady

June saw 15 residential transactions, a slight drop from 18 in May, but still an improvement over the 11 sales recorded in June 2024. This stable performance suggests that while pricing has cooled, buyer interest remains consistent—particularly as more inventory becomes available.

Pricing Realignment & Seller Strategy

The sale-to-list price ratio held steady at 97%, unchanged from May but slightly down from 99% last June. Sellers are still achieving near-list prices, but the dip from last year hints at increased buyer negotiation power amid rising supply.

Inventory Growth Signals Buyer’s Market

Inventory continued to rise, with 97 active listings, up from 87 in May and 69 in June 2024. New listings also edged up slightly to 62, just above May’s 61 and well above the 42 new listings from a year ago. As choices increase, buyers are afforded more flexibility and leverage in negotiations.

Time on Market & Inventory Levels

Homes spent an average of 32 days on the market, reflecting a moderate pace of sales. With months of inventory increasing to 6.47, up from 4.83 in May, the market is shifting back into buyer’s territory. This change could pressure sellers to price more competitively in the coming months.

Conclusion

June 2025 brought a cooling phase to Brock Township’s real estate market following May’s price surge. With no high-end sales to skew the numbers and inventory on the rise, the data points to a more buyer-friendly market. Despite the softer pricing, demand has held relatively steady. Heading into the summer, buyers may find more opportunities, while sellers should prepare for increased competition and more deliberate purchasing behavior.

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

Durham Region Real Estate Market Analysis – June 2025

The real estate market in Durham Region continued its trend toward balance in June 2025, as home prices edged lower, inventory grew, and buyer activity showed signs of leveling off. As the spring market fades into summer, both buyers and sellers are adapting to a shifting landscape shaped by affordability concerns and evolving market dynamics.

June 2025

May 2025

📉 Average Sale Price Declines for Second Month

The average sales price in Durham Region dropped to $891,662 in June, down 1.6% from May’s $905,702 and a significant 6.8% below June 2024’s average of $956,428. This marks the second consecutive monthly price decrease and the largest year-over-year decline of the year so far—an indication that market conditions are softening, especially as higher borrowing costs continue to influence purchasing power.

📊 Sales Volume Dips Slightly

June saw 817 home sales, down modestly from 850 in May, and below the 877 recorded in June 2024. While this isn’t a sharp drop, it reinforces the narrative of a cooling market, where buyer urgency is slowing and decision-making is becoming more deliberate.

📉 Sale-to-List Price Ratio Holds Steady

The sale-to-list price ratio remained flat at 100%, unchanged from May. This shows that, on average, homes are selling for their asking price—but no longer above it—suggesting that bidding wars are less common and that buyers are holding firm on price negotiations.

⏳ Homes Taking Longer to Sell

The average days on market increased to 34 days, up from 29 in May. This jump reflects a market where homes aren’t moving as quickly, and sellers may need to adjust expectations or pricing strategies to attract offers.

📈 New Listings and Inventory Levels Climbing

Durham Region welcomed 2,282 new listings in June, slightly down from 2,461 in May, but still higher than the 2,232 new listings in June 2024. Combined with slower sales, this rise in listings has led to an increase in available inventory, giving buyers more choices and reducing pressure to act quickly.

The months of inventory rose to 3.58, up from 3.29 last month, pushing the market closer to a fully balanced state. This gradual shift is significant—it signals a move away from the seller-dominated conditions of the past few years.

Conclusion

The Durham Region housing market in June 2025 continued its slow but steady transition toward balance. With prices declining, inventory growing, and sales volume easing, it’s clear that both buyers and sellers are navigating a more level playing field.

While this environment presents more opportunities for buyers—particularly those who were previously priced out—sellers can still succeed by staying realistic on pricing and flexible in negotiations.

As we move into the quieter summer months, all eyes will be on whether this trend of softening continues or if the market finds a new equilibrium in the face of broader economic uncertainty.

🏘️ Monday Market Minute – Uxbridge & Scugog Real Estate Update

(June 8–14, 2025)

Welcome to this week’s Monday Market Minute! As we move deeper into June, the real estate markets in Uxbridge and Scugog are continuing to evolve with rising inventory, stable pricing activity, and a mix of both resale and new-build options.

Here’s a snapshot of what happened last week in both townships:

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

📍 Uxbridge Market Overview

13 new listings hit the market (same as last week)
4 previously listed properties were brought back to market
11 price adjustments, down from 17 the previous week
3 conditional sales, a small drop from 5
4 firm sales, up from 3
Total active listings: 178, a slight increase of 1 from the previous week

🏗️ Key Insight:

Out of the 178 active listings, 21 are vacant land properties and 12 are new subdivision homes. While the numbers suggest growth in inventory, not all are move-in-ready resale homes—so buyers will want to keep that in mind.

📍 Scugog Market Overview

21 new listings, up from 17 last week
- 8 of those are brand-new construction homes
9 homes returned to the market
15 price changes, a slight increase from 14
7 conditional sales, down from 10
9 firm sales, up from 7
Total active listings: 154, up 10 from last week

🏗️ Key Insight:

Scugog’s inventory includes 8 vacant land properties and 16 new subdivision homes, so while buyers have more choices, the mix of listing types continues to diversify.

📝 Final Thoughts

Overall, we’re seeing continued growth in inventory in both markets—but a large share of that is made up of vacant land and new construction. This is important for both buyers and sellers:

Buyers have more options, but should be aware that not every listing is move-in-ready.
Sellers should pay attention to price positioning and presentation—especially in a market with more competition and an increasingly informed buyer pool.

As always, if you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just want to know what this means for your property, we’re here to help you make sense of the data and plan your next step.

From Toronto Regional Real Estate Board

Uxbridge Township Real Estate Market Analysis – May 2025

The real estate market in Uxbridge Township continued to show signs of stability in May 2025, though pricing and inventory shifts suggest that buyers are gaining more choice and leverage. The average sale price settled at $1,291,327, marking a 2.3% decline from April’s $1,321,060 and a 7.7% drop compared to May 2024’s $1,398,709. It’s worth noting that a single high-value sale at $3.7 million likely elevated the average price, masking the full extent of the price softening in the general market.

May 2025

April 2025

Sales Volume & Price Positioning

Despite the downward trend in average pricing, total sales increased to 26 transactions, slightly up from 25 in April and 22 last May, suggesting that buyer activity remains steady. The sale-to-list price ratio held firm at 97%, unchanged from both the previous month and last year, indicating a market where properties are still selling close to asking but without the aggressive bidding seen in previous years.

Inventory Growth & New Listings

The number of active listings surged to 125, up from 103 in April and significantly higher than the 81 listings recorded in May 2024. At the same time, new listings rose to 89, representing an increase of 15% from last month and a remarkable 56% jump from the same time last year.

This influx of listings suggests that sellers are entering the market in greater numbers, likely motivated by the active spring season and perhaps a desire to list before any broader economic shifts impact buyer confidence.

Market Balance & Buyer Behavior

With more inventory available, the months of inventory climbed to 4.81, up from 4.12 in April, maintaining a position within the balanced market range. This means supply and demand are roughly aligned, giving both buyers and sellers reasonable negotiating ground.

Homes also sold in an average of 27 days, a strong improvement from 48 days in April, indicating a faster-moving market, likely fueled by motivated buyers who are capitalizing on increased selection and slightly softer prices.

Looking Ahead

While average prices continue to adjust, the Uxbridge market remains fundamentally healthy and balanced. Rising inventory and steady sales suggest we’re entering a more normalized real estate cycle, with both buyers and sellers adapting to current conditions.

As the summer market approaches, all eyes remain on broader economic trends and consumer confidence. For now, Uxbridge offers a stable environment for those looking to make a move, whether entering the market or looking to list.

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

Brock Township Real Estate Market Analysis – May 2025

The Brock Township real estate market saw a strong performance in May 2025, with key indicators pointing to an active and balanced marketplace. Although average prices surged, the month’s data also highlights the impact of high-end transactions and an increase in both supply and demand.

May 2025

April 2025

Average Sale Price Surges — But Needs Context

The average sale price jumped to $839,694, reflecting a 26.2% increase from April 2025 ($665,233) and a 10.8% gain over May 2024 ($757,333). However, this spike should be viewed with caution. Two significant high-end sales—one at $1,630,000 and another at $1,400,000—played a major role in elevating the overall average.

When those two sales are removed from the equation, the adjusted average price drops to $717,972, which paints a more balanced and representative picture of the typical home sale in the area. This figure suggests that, while the market remains healthy, it’s not experiencing unchecked price inflation.

Sales Activity on the Rise

May saw a total of 18 homes sold, up from 15 in April and a notable increase over the 12 homes sold in May 2024. This uptick in sales reflects stronger buyer confidence and ongoing demand, consistent with seasonal trends as the spring market approaches its peak.

Seller Confidence Holding Steady

The sale-to-list price ratio rose slightly to 97%, up from 96% in April and consistent with May 2024. This indicates that sellers are largely achieving their asking prices, and homes are being listed at market-appropriate values.

Inventory & Listings Expand

The market welcomed an influx of supply in May. Active listings climbed to 87, up from 71 in April and significantly higher than 55 in May 2024. Additionally, new listings rose to 61, compared to 54 in April and 35 one year ago. This increase is a welcome development for buyers, providing more choice and easing upward pressure on prices.

Days on Market & Inventory Balance

Homes sold more quickly in May, with an average days on market of just 22 days, down from 35 in April, indicating that well-priced properties are attracting immediate attention. Despite the rise in new listings, months of inventory only increased slightly to 4.83, up from 4.73, keeping Brock Township firmly within balanced market territory.

Conclusion

May 2025 was an encouraging month for Brock Township’s real estate market. While the average sale price appeared to jump significantly, it was clearly influenced by a couple of high-value sales. Adjusted figures suggest a steadier, more moderate growth. With increased sales activity, rising inventory, and healthy buyer engagement, the market continues to present stable conditions for both buyers and sellers as we head into the summer months.

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

Scugog Township Real Estate Market Analysis – May 2025

The Scugog Township real estate market continued to demonstrate strong price performance in May 2025, though the sharp increase in average sale price was once again influenced by a few standout transactions. While sales volume remained consistent, the surge in both listings and inventory indicates a market with growing activity, albeit with signs of shifting buyer-seller dynamics.

May 2025

April 2025

Price Trends: Inflated Averages Due to High-End Sales

The average sales price for May 2025 climbed to $1,247,932, marking a 17.6% increase from April and a 19.5% year-over-year jump from May 2024 ($1,044,101). However, this substantial rise is largely due to two luxury home sales—one at $3,650,000 and another at $2,770,000—which heavily skewed the monthly average. When adjusted for these outliers, the pricing trend appears less dramatic and more in line with moderate market appreciation.

Sales Activity: Steady and Predictable

Total home sales came in at 25, matching the level from May 2024 and slightly below April’s 27. This consistency reflects stable buyer interest, even as prices remain elevated and inventory expands. The market is holding a steady rhythm, which can be seen as a positive in an otherwise uncertain economic landscape.

Market Competitiveness: Slight Erosion in Seller Leverage

The sale-to-list price ratio dipped to 97%, down from 98% in April and 100% in May 2024, indicating that sellers are accepting slightly less than their asking prices. While still reflective of a relatively balanced environment, it does suggest that buyers are gaining modest leverage in negotiations—likely due to expanded inventory and greater choice.

Inventory & Listings: A Surge in Supply Driven by New Builds

Inventory climbed significantly with 119 active listings, up from 85 in April and 101 a year ago. New listings surged to 90, compared to just 56 last month and 73 in May 2024. This increase is partly due to an influx of newly built homes entering the market, which is expanding buyer options and gradually increasing overall housing supply.

The months of inventory rose to 4.76, up from 3.15, keeping the market in balanced territory, though trending toward a buyer’s market if inventory continues to grow without a corresponding increase in demand.

Time on Market: Quick Turnarounds Continue

Days on market averaged 40 days, showing that homes are still selling at a healthy pace, despite the rise in inventory. This indicates a continued appetite among buyers, especially for well-priced and desirable properties.

Market Outlook: Stability Amid Expansion

While headline figures suggest strength, especially in average pricing, the underlying data points to a market that’s stabilizing. The consistent sales volume, slower price negotiation, and rising inventory levels show that buyers are becoming more selective. With more housing options, especially through new construction, competition could increase, potentially moderating price growth in the months ahead.

Conclusion: A Balanced Market With Expanding Inventory

The Scugog housing market in May 2025 remains resilient, but it’s also evolving. High-end sales have lifted averages, but the overall pace of sales and increase in available listings point toward a more balanced and competitive environment. For sellers, pricing strategically is key. For buyers, greater inventory and slightly softer negotiation margins make this a more favorable time to explore opportunities. As we head into the summer market, all eyes will be on whether inventory growth outpaces demand and how interest rates and economic signals influence buyer behavior.

🏡 Durham Region Real Estate Market Update – May 2025

As the spring real estate season rolls on, the Durham Region housing market is showing clear signs of adjustment. While activity remains steady, we’re seeing a shift in momentum that suggests a more balanced and thoughtful pace than in past years. Here’s what the latest data from May 2025 tells us about where the market stands—and where it might be headed.

May 2025

April 2025

📉 Prices Soften Month-over-Month and Year-over-Year

The average sale price for May 2025 came in at $905,702, down 0.9% from April’s $913,500 and a notable 5.16% drop from May 2024’s $954,942. The average sales price has been fluctuating month over month, however we are not seeing the price drop that buyers seem to be waiting for.

📊 Sales Volume Increases Seasonally, But Trails Last Year

Durham saw 850 total home sales in May, up from 769 in April, continuing the typical seasonal upswing in buyer activity. However, sales were still below last May’s total of 907, further emphasizing that this year’s spring market is more subdued compared to recent peaks.

📉 Sale-to-List Price Ratio Slips Slightly

The sale-to-list price ratio decreased to 100%, down from 101% in April. This slight dip means fewer homes are selling above asking price, which could be an early indicator that bidding wars are easing, giving buyers a bit more breathing room during negotiations.

🏘️ New Listings Surge, Adding Pressure to the Market

New listings hit 2,461 in May, a significant jump from 2,135 in April and well above the 2,082 listed in May 2024. This uptick in inventory is contributing to a shift in market balance. As more properties become available, buyers have more choices, and sellers may need to adjust pricing expectations.

⏱️ Days on Market Increasing

Homes in Durham Region spent an average of 29 days on the market in May, up from 25 days in April. This trend indicates that buyers are taking more time before making offers, possibly waiting for price reductions or negotiating more aggressively.

📦 Inventory Levels Continue to Rise

Months of inventory increased to 3.29—up slightly from 3.18 in April. This movement keeps the market just at the line between a seller’s market and a balanced one. If this trend continues into the summer months, we could officially enter balanced market territory, where neither side holds a distinct advantage.

🌍 External Factors Still Weighing on Confidence

While local market fundamentals are gradually shifting, it’s important to recognize the global and national economic landscape as well. Ongoing uncertainty in the U.S. economy, a lingering trade war, and cost-of-living pressures are shaping buyer and seller behavior. That said, with Canada’s federal election now behind us, there’s hope that political stability may support improved consumer confidence moving forward.

✅ Key Takeaways – May 2025 at a Glance

Metric	May 2025	April 2025	May 2024
Average Sale Price	$905,702	$913,500	$954,942
Total Sales	850	769	907
New Listings	2,461	2,135	2,082
Sale-to-List Ratio	100%	101%	—
Days on Market	29	25	—
Months of Inventory	3.29	3.18	—

📌 Final Thoughts

The Durham Region real estate market in May 2025 is navigating a shift. Prices are cooling slightly, inventory is growing, and buyer competition is easing—at least for now. This creates a more balanced environment that may benefit both cautious buyers and sellers willing to adapt.

As we head into the summer, all eyes will be on interest rates, inflation trends, and consumer confidence. Whether you’re planning to buy, sell, or simply watch the market, staying informed is key.

Uxbridge & Scugog Real Estate Update

(May 25–31)

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

Welcome back to your Monday Market Minute, where we break down the latest real estate activity across Uxbridge and Scugog. As we near the halfway mark of the year, we’re continuing to see rising inventory levels, consistent pricing shifts, and a mix of buyer activity across both townships.

Here’s a snapshot of what happened in the market last week:

📍 Uxbridge Market Overview

13 new listings came to market – up slightly from 11 the previous week.
An additional 6 previously listed homes returned to the market.
10 properties had price reductions, down from 15 last week.
1 home sold conditionally, a sharp drop from 9 the week before.
6 firm sales were recorded – double the number from the previous week.
Total inventory rose to 161 properties, up by 6.

🔎 Takeaway: Uxbridge saw a modest rise in new listings and firm sales, but conditional sales slowed significantly. This may indicate that buyers are acting more decisively or that sellers are pricing more competitively to move their homes quickly. Either way, inventory is trending upward, giving buyers more options.

📍 Scugog Market Overview

13 new listings, down from 19 the previous week.
5 properties returned to the market.
13 price adjustments – slightly down from 15.
6 conditional sales, up from 3 the week before.
8 firm sales, double last week’s total.
Active listings rose to 142, an increase of 7 from the previous week.

🔎 Takeaway: In Scugog, both conditional and firm sales picked up steam, even with fewer new listings. This suggests more serious buyer activity and stronger demand compared to the previous week. Inventory growth continues here as well, contributing to a more balanced market.

💡 What This Means for Buyers & Sellers

As we head into June, both markets are seeing steady listing activity and growing inventory. Price adjustments remain consistent, indicating that sellers are still adapting to market expectations. The jump in firm sales is a good sign for market confidence.

If you’re a buyer, you’ll appreciate the increasing selection and the potential for negotiation. If you’re a seller, now’s the time to ensure your home is well-priced and presented to stand out.

(May 18–24)

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

Welcome to this week’s Monday Market Minute, your quick and reliable source for what’s happening in the local real estate markets of Uxbridge and Scugog. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just watching the market, staying informed can help you make smarter real estate decisions. Here’s a look at what moved the market this past week.

📍 Uxbridge Market Highlights:

New Listings: 11 new properties hit the market, slightly down from 13 last week.
Back on Market: 10 previously listed homes returned to the MLS, offering renewed opportunities for buyers.
Price Adjustments: 15 properties saw price reductions, down from 19 last week.
Conditional Sales: 9 homes sold conditionally – a noticeable increase from just 4 the previous week.
Firm Sales: 3 properties sold firm, down significantly from 9 the week before.
Total Active Listings: Inventory continues to grow, with 155 properties currently on the market – up 8 from last week.

📊 Takeaway: The Uxbridge market is showing signs of cautious buyer activity. While more homes are being considered (as seen in the rise of conditional sales), firm commitments have slowed. With rising inventory and consistent price adjustments, buyers may feel they have more room to negotiate.

📍 Scugog Market Highlights:

New Listings: 19 new listings again this week – holding steady from last week.
Back on Market: 8 homes returned to the market, adding to the available supply.
Price Adjustments: 15 price changes, matching last week’s number.
Conditional Sales: 3 homes sold conditionally, down from 7 the week before.
Firm Sales: 4 firm deals were recorded, slightly down from 5.
Total Active Listings: The number of homes on the market rose to 135, up by 5.

📉 Takeaway: Scugog remains stable in terms of listing activity, but buyer momentum has eased a bit. Fewer conditional and firm sales suggest that buyers may be more selective or taking a wait-and-see approach. Inventory continues to grow, offering more options for those ready to make a move.

📝 What This Means for You

As inventory builds in both townships and price adjustments remain consistent, we’re seeing a more balanced market. Buyers may find increased leverage with more options and less urgency. For sellers, it’s a great time to focus on strategic pricing and presentation to stand out.

If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just curious about the value of your home in today’s market, let’s chat. A local strategy makes all the difference.

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

Uxbridge Township Real Estate Market Analysis – April 2025

The April 2025 real estate market in Uxbridge Township showed continued resilience with strong pricing gains, despite signals of a cooling pace and growing uncertainty in the broader economic environment.

April 2025

March 2025

The average sale price rose to $1,321,060, marking a 14.6% increase from March 2025 and a 5.8% rise compared to April 2024’s $1,249,215. While this upward trend is promising, it’s essential to recognize that two high-value property sales at $2,585,000 and $3,050,000 likely skewed the average, inflating the overall price picture.

Sales Performance & Price Trends

Sales volume held relatively steady with 25 properties sold, just slightly down from 26 in March and 27 in April 2024. This minor dip in activity suggests stable buyer interest, though tempered by macroeconomic concerns.

Meanwhile, the sale-to-list price ratio declined to 97%, down from 98% in March and 102% in April of last year. This indicates that buyers are negotiating more assertively and sellers are becoming slightly more flexible on pricing.

Inventory & Market Conditions

New listings surged to 77 in April, a healthy rise from 63 in March and 56 in April 2024. Total active listings jumped to 103, up from 82 in March and significantly higher than 71 last April.

The increase in listings has pushed months of inventory up to 4.12, compared to 3.15 in March, keeping the Uxbridge market within a balanced territory. The average property took 48 days to sell, nearly double the pace from March, suggesting that while prices are climbing, buyers are taking more time to make decisions.

Economic Context & Market Outlook

The market continues to operate under the cloud of uncertainty driven by economic tensions south of the border and the ongoing international trade war. These external factors are likely contributing to a more cautious buyer sentiment.

However, with Canada’s federal election now behind us, there may be a sense of renewed stability or policy clarity on the horizon. This could inject some optimism into the market, encouraging both buyers and sellers to move forward with more confidence in the months ahead.

As we move further into the spring market, we may see price growth moderate, especially if inventory continues to build and buyers become more price-sensitive. Balanced conditions mean opportunities exist for both sides, but staying informed and strategic will be key.

Toronto Regional Real Estate Board - Market Stats At A Glance - April 2025

Scugog Township Real Estate Market Analysis – April 2025

The April 2025 real estate data for Scugog Township reveals a market finding its footing after a spike in March’s average sale price. With a return to more typical price levels, increased sales activity, and a tightening of inventory, the market appears to be stabilizing—though it continues to navigate broader economic uncertainties.

April 2025

March 2025

Price Trends: Back to Earth After March’s Skewed Highs

The average sales price in April settled at $1,060,992, representing a 0.65% increase year-over-year from April 2024 ($1,054,133), but a notable 17.6% drop from March 2025 ($1,286,923). However, it’s critical to recognize that March’s elevated average was influenced by a single high-value sale at $3,225,000, which inflated the overall figure. April’s average provides a more realistic reflection of local market dynamics and pricing.

Sales Activity: A Surge in Transactions

Sales volume more than doubled from March, rising from 13 to 27 transactions, though still slightly below the 30 homes sold in April 2024. This uptick signals renewed buyer engagement, potentially driven by more moderate pricing and increased inventory options.

Market Competitiveness: Seller Leverage Improving

The sale-to-list price ratio edged up to 98%, up from 97% in March, showing sellers regained a bit more leverage. However, it still remains slightly below the 100% ratio seen last April, indicating there’s still room for negotiation, though less than in recent months.

Inventory & Supply: Balance Tilting Towards Sellers

Active listings rose to 85, up from 76 in March and 74 in April 2024, while new listings increased modestly to 56—up from 48 last month but down from 75 this time last year. Despite more available homes, months of inventory dropped to 3.15 from 5.85, bringing the market closer to seller-favorable conditions within a still-balanced framework. This shift suggests increased buyer absorption and a tightening supply-demand balance.

Time on Market: Properties Taking Longer to Sell

The average days on market for April was 54 days, suggesting that while more homes are selling, the process remains relatively slow. Buyers are still cautious, and sellers need to price competitively and prepare their properties well to attract timely offers.

Market Outlook: Stabilization Amid Lingering Uncertainty

While April brought a welcome increase in sales and inventory balance, macroeconomic forces continue to inject caution into the market. Uncertainty persists due to ongoing geopolitical tensions, the trade war, and instability in the U.S. However, with Canada’s federal election now behind us, there is hope for renewed policy focus and market confidence, potentially creating a more optimistic environment as we move into the summer selling season.

Conclusion: Steadying Market with Signs of Seller Strength

April 2025 reflects a more stable and grounded market for Scugog Township after the anomalies seen in March. With stronger sales activity, improving sale-to-list ratios, and reduced months of inventory, sellers may begin to regain footing—especially as post-election clarity offers a ray of confidence amid international uncertainty. Buyers, however, still have room to negotiate, making this a strategically balanced moment in the local real estate cycle.

From Toronto Regional Real Estate Board

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

Brock Township Real Estate Market Analysis – April 2025

April 2025 brought a dynamic shift in the real estate landscape of the Township of Brock, marked by a significant price correction, a surge in sales activity, and an influx of new listings. Market conditions appear to be rebalancing, with a more active spring season despite ongoing external uncertainties.

April 2025

March 2025

Average Sales Price Sees Correction

The average sales price dropped sharply to $665,233, representing a 16.5% decrease from April 2024 ($796,656) and a 25.9% decline from March 2025 ($898,214). This steep month-over-month drop is largely due to the absence of the $1,925,000 high-end sale recorded in March, which had notably inflated that month’s average. Without such outlier transactions, April’s average offers a more accurate reflection of typical market pricing.

Sales Volume Rebounds

A total of 15 properties sold in April, more than doubling March’s 7 sales and closely aligning with the 16 sales from April 2024. This rebound in transactions suggests growing buyer activity as we enter the traditionally busier spring market, with many seizing opportunities in a market with corrected pricing.

Pricing Confidence Holds

Despite the decline in average sales price, the sale-to-list price ratio remained strong at 98%, unchanged from March and up slightly from 97% in April 2024. This consistency indicates that while buyers are spending less on average, they are still paying close to asking prices—likely a sign that homes are being realistically priced and demand remains healthy.

Inventory Builds Up

The market experienced a notable jump in supply, with 71 active listings, up from 52 in March and 48 in April 2024. New listings also surged to 54, outpacing last month’s 34 and last year’s 32, offering buyers more choice and helping to rebalance supply-demand dynamics.

Days on Market & Inventory Levels

Homes spent an average of 35 days on the market, slightly longer than March’s 24 days, reflecting a return to more typical selling timelines. Meanwhile, months of inventory dropped to 4.73 from 7.43 in March, signalling a return to a balanced market where neither buyers nor sellers hold a clear advantage.

Economic Uncertainty Lingers – But a Glimmer of Positivity

Broader economic factors continue to cloud the horizon. Trade tensions and economic uncertainty south of the border remain top concerns for investors and homebuyers alike. However, with Canada’s federal election now concluded, there’s potential for renewed consumer confidence and greater policy clarity, which could help stabilize and potentially stimulate the housing market heading into the summer months.

Conclusion

April 2025 marked a reset for the Brock Township real estate market. The steep drop in average sales price brought pricing back in line with broader market conditions, free from high-value anomalies. With increased listings and recovering sales activity, the market remains balanced and well-positioned. While international uncertainties persist, the conclusion of Canada’s federal election may usher in a more optimistic period for buyers and sellers in the months ahead.

Durham Region Real Estate Market Analysis – April 2025

The Durham Region real estate market continued its spring momentum in April 2025 with steady price growth, increasing sales activity, and a surge in new listings. However, global and economic uncertainty remains a key influence on market behavior, despite the conclusion of Canada’s federal election.

April 2025

March 2025

Average Sales Price Shows Modest Monthly Increase, Year-Over-Year Decline

In April, the average sales price in Durham Region reached $913,500, marking a slight 0.2% increase from March’s $911,396. Despite this monthly uptick, the average price reflects a 3.21% decrease compared to April 2024’s $943,840, indicating a year-over-year softening in home values.

Sales Volume Increases Month-Over-Month, Remains Below Last Year’s Levels

A total of 769 homes were sold in April, representing a 14.6% increase from March’s 671 sales. However, this figure is still 18.9% lower than the 948 homes sold in April 2024, suggesting that while buyer activity is picking up, it hasn’t fully rebounded to previous levels.

Listings Expand Significantly, Offering More Choices

Active listings rose to 2,445, up from 2,017 in March, and dramatically higher than the 1,549 active listings in April last year. This significant boost in inventory is helping shift the market dynamics, giving buyers more negotiating power and softening competition.

New Listings Surge, Expanding Buyer Options

The market saw a significant influx of new listings, with 2,135 properties entering the market in April, up from 1,937 in March and 1,840 in April 2024. This increase in inventory provides buyers with more choices and could contribute to a more balanced market dynamic.

Sale-to-List Price Ratio Remains Steady

The sale-to-list price ratio held steady at 101%, consistent with March’s figures. This indicates that, on average, homes are selling at or slightly above their listing prices, reflecting continued buyer competition in certain segments of the market.

Days on Market Stable, Inventory Levels Edge Up

Properties in Durham Region spent an average of 25 days on the market in April, unchanged from March. Meanwhile, the months of inventory increased slightly to 3.18 from 3.01, suggesting a gradual shift towards a more balanced market, though conditions still slightly favour sellers.

Economic and Political Factors Influence Market Sentiment

While the local market shows resilience, broader economic and political factors are contributing to a cautious outlook. Ongoing global trade tensions and economic uncertainties in the United States are influencing buyer and seller confidence. However, with Canada’s federal election concluded, there is hope for increased stability and potential policy measures that could positively impact the housing market in the coming months.

Conclusion

April 2025 reflects a Durham Region real estate market in transition. Modest price gains and increased sales activity indicate a typical spring market upswing. However, the year-over-year decline in average prices and sales volume, coupled with rising inventory levels, suggest a move towards more balanced conditions. As global and domestic factors continue to evolve, market participants should stay informed and be prepared to adapt to changing dynamics.

Uxbridge History • April 30, 2025

Henry Jones Hardware & The Roxy Theatre

by Shane Coxworth

Hidden History Revealed

The Legacy of Henry Jones Hardware & The Roxy Theatre in Uxbridge

Photo taken during the 1890s shows the Henry Jones Hardware building

1. Introduction to a Uxbridge Landmark

At the intersection of Brock Street and Toronto Street in Uxbridge, Ontario, lies a location rich in historical transformation. From its beginnings as a hardware store in the 1880s to its current role as a beloved local cinema, this corner has seen a variety of incarnations that mirror the town’s growth and character.

2. The Origins: Henry Jones Hardware Store

A Historic Cornerstone from the 1880s

In the 1880s, the Henry Jones Hardware store stood proudly at this central intersection. Construction began on the hardware store building in August 1885, marking the start of what would become a long-standing fixture in Uxbridge’s commercial life. More than just a retail outlet, it served as a meeting place and supply hub for residents during an era when Uxbridge was rapidly developing.

The Mysterious Timeline of Its Demolition

Unfortunately, the exact date of the building’s removal is lost to history. But what remains is a community’s memory of a shop that once served farmers, tradesmen, and townsfolk with everything from tools to household essentials.

3. The Second Floor: Offices and Shops

An Innovative Use of Space in a Small-Town Setting

Above the store, eight small offices and retail spaces bustled with activity. This second level showcased an entrepreneurial spirit, enabling local businesses to thrive in the heart of town.

The Covered Stairway: Form and Function

A covered stairway connected street-goers to the upper level—a simple yet practical design feature that shielded visitors from Ontario’s unpredictable weather.

4. Enter the Quonset Era: 1949 Transformation

Rise of the New Structure

In 1949, a modern quonset-style building replaced the original structure. These semi-circular steel buildings were popular post-war, known for durability and quick assembly.

A Unique Architectural Style

Its distinctive curved roof and utilitarian design marked a visual departure from the traditional Victorian architecture of Uxbridge’s main street, signaling a new era.

The above photo courtesy of Uxbridge Historical Centre shows what the theatre looked like in 50’s

5. Welcome to the Movies: The RIO Theatre

From Hardware to Hollywood

That same year, the new building opened as the RIO Theatre, sparking excitement in the community. Suddenly, the same plot that once sold hammers and nails was transporting viewers to far-off galaxies and dramatic love stories.

The Early Days of the RIO

Movie nights at the RIO were instantly popular, offering a new kind of local entertainment and becoming a weekend staple for families and couples alike.

6. Changing Names, Changing Times

Rebranding as The ROXY in 1951

In 1951, the Theatre Amusement Company acquired the property and renamed it The ROXY—a nod to more glamorous cinema halls and a signal of continued growth.

Theatre Amusement Company Takeover

With the new management came enhanced programming and better equipment, further solidifying the theatre’s place in Uxbridge’s entertainment scene.

7. Decline and Repurposing in the 1970s

The above photo courtesy of the Uxbridge Times-Journal shows the building after it was renovated and converted to Davie Pharmacy in the 1970’s

The End of an Era

Like many small-town theatres, the ROXY faced hard times in the 1970s and eventually shut its doors. But the space didn’t stay idle for long.

A Drug Store and Souvenir Haven

It was soon reborn as a split-use space: one side housed a pharmacy, while the other featured a souvenir and gift shop—a practical reuse that kept the building relevant.

8. A Star is Born (Again): Christmas Commercials

Lights, Camera, Guardian Pharmacy!

The quirky charm of the building even made it into a Guardian Pharmacy Christmas commercial, showing how it continued to be a recognizable and beloved part of the town’s identity.

9. The Roxy Rises Once More: 1996 Revival

The Roxy Theatre as it appears today.

Cathy and Mark Christoff’s Cinematic Contribution

Local heroes Cathy and Mark Christoff saw the potential to revive the magic of movies in Uxbridge. They undertook a full restoration of the structure.

Bringing Hollywood Back to Uxbridge

On December 13th, 1996, the doors opened again under its classic name, The Roxy Theatre. This time, with not one, but two screens showing first-run films.

10. The Modern Roxy Theatre Experience

Two Screens, Modern Tech, and Old-School Charm

With state-of-the-art digital projection and sound systems, today’s Roxy Theatre offers a premium movie-going experience—without losing its small-town charm.

Popcorn, Nostalgia, and First-Run Flicks

Moviegoers enjoy fresh popcorn, authentic cinema décor, and the joy of seeing new releases in a cozy, friendly setting.

11. Preserving Local History Through Cinema

The Roxy is more than just a theatre—it’s a living monument to Uxbridge’s evolving history. From hardware to Hollywood, it represents community resilience and adaptability.

Monday Market Minute – Uxbridge & Scugog Real Estate Update

📅 Week of April 20th – April 26th

Welcome back to another edition of my Monday Market Minute, where I bring you the latest real estate updates for the Township of Uxbridge and the Township of Scugog!

Let’s dive into what happened this past week:

📍 Uxbridge Market Update:

13 new listings came to market (slightly up from 11 the previous week).
6 additional properties were relisted after being previously removed.
10 properties had price adjustments (more than double the 4 adjustments last week), suggesting that sellers are working hard to stay competitive.
7 homes sold conditionally (up from 3 last week).
10 properties sold firm (up from 6), showing strong buyer commitment.
Total active listings in Uxbridge now sit at 130, up 3 from the previous week’s 127.

📍 Scugog Market Update:

14 new listings were added (a big jump from 8 last week).
5 properties were relisted.
7 properties had price adjustments (slightly down from 10 last week).
9 homes sold conditionally (more than double last week’s 4).
7 properties sold firm (up from just 1 the week before).
Total active listings in Scugog are now at 110, up from 102 last week.

📈 What’s the Takeaway This Week?

The spring market momentum is definitely picking up in both Uxbridge and Scugog!
We’re seeing increased inventory, more firm sales, and a market where buyers have more options but are also moving quickly when the right property hits.

If you’re a seller, pricing correctly is key right now — buyers are active but cautious, and homes priced well are moving fast.
If you’re a buyer, there’s more selection, but competition is heating up, especially on well-presented and appropriately priced homes.
