MONTHLY MARKET REPORT
Durham
Region real estate continued its surge in February with another record-setting performance.
Durham was by far the hottest market in the GTA, with the average property selling at 129% of list price. Dufferin was next, with that figure well behind at 121%, and the average for all of the GTA was 116%.
Intense competition from buyers on listings is evident in the high number of offers on many listings. As a result, prices are continuing to see upward pressure.

There were 0.5 months of inventory at the end of February (trend figure, per TRREB), once again increasing buyer competition at properties at virtually all price points. The figure for all of TRREB was 0.9, and 1.1 for Toronto.

Sales volume in Durham Region decreased 18.7% from last year with 1125 units sold versus 1384 last February. 
The time a property takes to sell is called DOM or days on market. It was 8 in February.
A key indicator of demand is sale price compared to list price. It was 129% in Durham in February, again showing extremely strong levels of buyer demand, as the typical property sold for well over list price. This figure was sharply higher than the GTA, which averaged 116%.
These factors combined are still very strong metrics for sellers, as it shows that not only is current inventory moving at a rapid pace, but it is also selling at a price that is well over list.
