Durham Region Real Estate Market Update for May 2025. Get average home prices, new listings, sales, and days on market for Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, and more. Buyers’ market conditions continue—see what’s happening near you!

📉 Sales Are Slowing
 The number of homes sold in May dropped by 16% compared to last year. So even though more homes are available (+21% new listings!), fewer are actually changing hands.

💰 Prices Are Holding (But Down Slightly)
 The average home price in Durham was about $906,000, which is 3% lower than last May. The median price sits at $850,000, showing prices are relatively stable but inching down a bit.

📦 More Homes, Longer Waits
 It’s taking longer for homes to sell—on average 18 days on market, up from 16 last year. And with 3.3 months of inventory, buyers have more options and more time to decide.

📊 Still a Buyer’s Market
 The sales-to-new-listings ratio is sitting around 34.5%, which means we’re firmly in buyer’s market territory. Sellers, this means pricing and presentation really matter right now. Buyers—you’ve got more room to negotiate!

What This Means for You:

🧍‍♀️ If You’re Selling:
 Expect more competition. Homes that are priced right and show well will still sell—but be prepared for longer timelines and some negotiating.

🧍‍♂️ If You’re Buying:
 This is your moment. With more listings, softer prices, and less pressure, you’ve got the upper hand. And with interest rates still lower than they’ve been in a while, you might just snag a great deal.
