Hi everyone, welcome back to our monthly market update! My name is Jacob and I’m a broker and team lead of Asparian & Co Real Estate. We’re a boutique team focused on all things in real estate in the Durham Region. Today we’ll be reviewing the market update numbers for January 2023 but also looking at market activity levels to see if we can see where the market is heading now.

The basics! In every market, the 3 most important numbers we look at are listings, sales, and average sales price.

LISTINGS

We saw a total of 863 new listings come to the market in Durham Region this December, which was an decrease of 1.26% than the 874 that came to market last year at this time.

SALES

We had 394 homes sold in Durham Region this December and that is a decrease of 35.30% from the 609 that were sold at the same time in 2021.

AVERAGE SALES PRICE

So, what does this all mean for sales prices? The average sale price in Durham Region in December 2022 was $886,849. This is a decrease of 25.5% from the 2022 average of $1,175,010.

One of the biggest mistakes buyers make is trying to time the market and waiting on the sidelines for prices to come down. With the current economic environment, we are starting to see it happening. The best time to buy real estate was 10 years ago, the second best time is now.
