A 'Little' Market Update... Durham Region End 2019 With An Increase Of Residential Transactions January 7, 2020 @ 10:52 AM... Posted by: DRAR The Durham Region Association of REALTORS (DRAR) President Vicki Sweeney reported 518 residential transactions in December 2019 representing a 16 per cent increase from the same time last year. Total residential transactions for the calendar year 2019 amounted 10,634 a 19 per cent increase from the total in 2018. Durham Region certainly saw an increase of activity in 2019 in comparison to the record lows in 2018. Many potential home buyers and sellers may have taken time to adjust to the policy changes in 2018 and the increase of sales activity especially during the second half of the year reflects this, said Sweeney. The average selling price in Durham for the month of December reached $640,269. In December, 428 new listings were reported with an average of 28 days on market. The MLS Home Price Index Composite Benchmark in Durham was up 5.17 per cent on a year-over-year basis in December 2019. DRAR is pleased with the recent announcement of the Co-owning a Home Guide from the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing Steve Clark. Co-ownership housing expands options for individuals and families with a variety of benefits including increasing affordability, giving individuals more options when it comes to choosing a location and it is an efficient use of housing supply. Four senior women labelled The Golden Girls of Port Perry inspired The Golden Girls Act, 2019 that was introduced by Durham MPP Lindsey Park. This innovative living arrangement addresses several issues individuals face when searching for a home as well as the shortage of affordable housing options. REALTORS assist individuals and families everyday who are making the biggest financial decision of their lives. Real estate professionals care deeply about their clients and industry and will continue to advocate on behalf of buyers and sellers so the dream of homeownership can be achieved, stated DRAR President Vicki Sweeney.

A Little Market Update... "The spring market is heating up in Durham"... Durham REALTORS Report March Statistics... April 9, 2019 @ 10:06 AM Posted by: DRAR Durham Region Association of REALTORS (DRAR) President Tina Sorichetti reported 839 residential transactions in March 2019, a 43 per cent increase from the previous month. There were 1,617 new listings in March 2019, compared to 1,140 in the previous month representing a 42 per cent increase. March 2018 saw 1,755 new listings. The spring market is heating up in Durham. It is encouraging to see a jump in sales on a month-over-month basis as we enter into a typically busier time of year during the spring and summer months, stated Sorichetti. The average selling price in Durham reached $604,796 last month. In comparison, the average selling price was $580,743 in February 2019. The average selling price in March 2019 represents a slight increase from the same time last year. DRAR is pleased with the various measures included in the 2019 Federal Budget that address housing affordability and provide support for first-time home buyers. The budget included the launch of The First-Time Home Buyer’s incentive program, increase to the Home Buyer’s Plan (HBP) withdraw limit from $25,000 to $35,000, as well as other actions that support housing supply and affordability. REALTORS have been advocating for the modernization of the Home Buyer’s Plan (HBP) and we are very happy to see this included in the budget, said Sorichetti. The OSFI mandated stress test continues to impact home buyer’s ability to qualify for a mortgage and has pushed several potential buyers to the sidelines. The stress test has had a significant impact on the housing market and we are encouraged that the federal government is carefully monitoring its effect. Millenials are passionate about homeownership, it is a positive step forward to have the federal government acknowledge the challenges first-time home buyers face and making housing issues top priority in the 2019 Budget for Canadians, said Sorichetti.

A Little Market Update: DRAR REALTORS Report February Statistics Durham Region Association of REALTORS (DRAR) President Tina Sorichetti reported 585 residential transactions in February 2019 this represents a 15.16 per cent increase on a month-over-month basis. Residential transactions in February 2019 decreased from the same time last year by 3.15 per cent.... The OSFI mandated stress test has forced potential buyers out of the market or to the sidelines as many struggle to qualify for the home type they want, said Sorichetti. The stress test should be reviewed and policy changes should be considered to support homeownership in Ontario. Home sales have a significant impact on the Canadian economy, and with the federal budget and election on the horizon we hope to see measures put in place to support home ownership affordability. The number of new listings reached 1,140 in February, a 5.16 per cent decrease from February 2018. The number of new listings decreased by 3.47 per cent from the same time last month. The average selling price in Durham for the month of February was $580,743 this is a moderate increase from January 2019. The average selling price for all home types decreased 1.8 per cent on a year-over-year basis.

It is encouraging to see an increase in sales to start the New Year, said Sorichetti.... The number of new listings increased significantly from this time last month. January saw 1,181 new listings in comparison to 543 for the month of December. This is also a 23.79 per cent increase from the number of new listings in January 2018. Residential transactions not only increased month-over-month but also on a year-over-year basis. The number of home sales in January 2019 increased 8.09 per cent from January 2018. An increase in January transactions on a year-over-year basis is a positive sign for the year to come. The past year was a year of change and adjustments to market conditions and mortgage standards, it is forecast 2019 will be a steadier year supported by gradual home sale increases, stated the DRAR President.

A "Little" Market Update... Durham REALTORS Report December Statistics: DURHAM REGION, January 9, 2019 Durham Region Association of REALTORS (DRAR) President Tina Sorichetti reported a total of 8,941 residential transactions in 2018. This represents a 19.7 per cent decline compared to the 11,136 residential sales reported in 2017. The number of new listings in December 2018 reached 543, a 23.6 per cent decrease from the same time last year. Residential transactions tend ...to slow down around the holidays, stated Sorichetti. Durham Region saw the average sale price increase to $587,200 in December 2018 for all home types. The average sale price for 2018 was $593,902 this represents a 5.4 per cent decrease from $628,005 in 2017. At this time last year people were preparing for new mortgage regulations to begin in 2018. We saw a spike of activity in 2017 leading up to those changes, said Sorichetti. Higher borrowing costs along with the new mortgage stress test resulted in households temporarily moving to the sidelines and reevaluating their options. Despite the slow start to the year, the second half of the year did see an improvement." Durham Region is an ideal location for homebuyers due to its diverse neighbourhoods and proximity to major cities and amenities. Durham was named one of the Top 25 Places to Buy Real Estate in Canada in 2018 according to a report released by MoneySense this past year. Several projects were announced or began construction in 2018 including the Bowmanville Hospital Redevelopment Project, Bowmanville GO Train Extension, Courtice GO Train Extension with development set to start for the Courtice Go Bus and Park and Ride lots in Courtice. The Highway, 407 East extension, a project to extend the 407 Express Toll Route to Clarington is a significant project underway with Phase 1 already complete. The housing market is an economic force that strengthens our economy, said Sorichetti. Durham’s affordable housing market and economic developments continue to attract buyers to move East and call Durham Region home.
