March 2025 vs. March 2024. Here’s a quick and friendly look at how this year’s housing market stacks up against last year’s in Durham Region.

📈 More Homes on the Market
This March (2025), there were 1,937 new listings—that’s a 24% increase from March 2024. More homes for sale = more choices for buyers and more competition for sellers.

📉 Fewer Sales
Only 671 homes sold this March, compared to 829 last year—a 19% drop. Buyers are being pickier and taking their time, which is totally normal in a shifting market.

💸 Slight Dip in Prices

• Average Price: Down from $928,897 in 2024 to $911,396 in 2025 — a 2% decrease.
  
• Median Price: Also slipped from $865,000 to $850,000.
  

So, prices are slightly softer, which is good news for buyers and still solid for sellers.

🕒 Homes Are Taking a Bit Longer to Sell

• Days on Market: Homes now take 17 days to sell, up from 14 days last year.
  It’s not a dramatic change, but shows that buyers aren’t rushing.
  

📦 More Inventory = Buyer Advantage

• Months of Inventory (MOI) tells us how long it would take to sell all current listings if no new homes came on the market.
  
  • March 2024 MOI: 1.9 months
    
  • March 2025 MOI: 3.0 months
    This jump means there’s more supply and homes aren’t moving quite as fast—another plus for buyers.
    

⚖️ Market Shift: More Power to Buyers

• The Sales-to-New-Listing Ratio dropped from 45.1% last year to 34.6% this year.
  That officially puts us into buyer’s market territory, where buyers have the upper hand in negotiations.
  

📝 In a Nutshell
Compared to last year, March 2025 brings:

✅ More homes for sale
✅ Fewer homes selling
✅ Slightly lower prices
✅ More time to make decisions
✅ A buyer-friendly market

🎯 If You’re Buying: You’ve got more options and negotiating power.
📣 If You’re Selling: Be strategic—price right and present your home at its best to stand out.
