Durham Region Real Estate Sales Report - October 2019

Durham Region Real Estate Prices 2019


Durham's real estate market activity showed increases in both price and volume in October. The monthly changes were minor, though the annual changes were substantial.


Given the larger jumps in sales volume in Toronto and the GTA, it's somewhat surprising that Durham's increases weren't larger. We may see November's figures come in to catch up.


Price



Prices in Durham rose by 4.2% since October 2018 and 0.3% since September 2019. The Toronto Real Estate Board's (TREB) overall market posted a 5.5% annual increase (+1.1% monthly). 


Average prices for all of TREB were 852,142 as shown in the above chart (red line). With the increase this month, the overall market set a new price benchmark for the year, eclipsing the spring high.


Durham Region (blue line) prices showed a yearly increase, though with much less volatility than the TREB numbers showed in the seasonal trends. Durham showed very little reduction in price over the summer, and we are still close to highs for the year.


The latest market statistics show the average Durham property at $613,606  - up from last month's 611,569 by $2,037 (+0.3%).

Inventory


Active listings in Durham Region were 1803 in October. That is a 13.4% decrease from last year and a 6.9% decrease from September. The drop ins active listings represents a tightening of the market. Currently, there are only 2.1 months of inventory, increasing buyer competition and could help to drive prices higher at a moderate pace.


The overall TREB market had an 9.1% decrease in active listings from September.


Demand


Durham Region Real Estate Sales Volume


Sales volume in Durham Region increased 19.8% from last year with 968 units sold versus 798 last October (TREB +4.4%). It was up from September by 1.3%. (TREB +8.5%).


The time a property takes to sell is called DOM or days on market. It was 22 in October, showing a strong pace to sales. This figure tends to increase after the spring market before dropping again in the fall.


Another indicator of demand is sale price compared to list price. It was 99% in Durham in October, again showing high levels of buyer demand.


These factors combined are a good barometer for sellers, as it shows that not only is current inventory moving at a good pace, but it is also selling at a price that is very close to asking.
