Best Selling September On Record September Statistics

DURHAM REGION OCTOBER 7, 2009

The Durham Region Association of REALTORS® (DRAR) reported 825 sales in September 2009, down .5% from August 09’s 875, but up 9% from the 752 recorded in September ‘08’.

Average selling prices were up 1.4% ($282,308) in September, from August’s $278,400, and up 5.5% from the $267,478 reported in September ‘08’.

“Durham’s fall market is starting stronger than ever,” said Debbie Dawson, 2009 DRAR President. “With the reported 825 sales this September, it is the best selling September on record!”

Total active listings are down 36% (1920) from September 08’s 2989, and up 2.9% from last months 1865.

“This year’s real estate market has been a rollercoaster ride,” commented Dawson. “With a weakened economy Durham’s first quarter started off rocky. Government incentives kicked the second quarter into gear and into a buyers market. Now with listings well below the same time last year the market has spun into a sellers market. In the first quarter we never would’ve anticipated setting any records, but with both June and September in the record books, the first quarter pessimism has come and gone with the changing of seasons.”

DURHAM’S HOUSING MARKET STRONGER THEN EXPECTED

The Durham Region Association of REALTORS® (DRAR) reported 875 sales in August 2009, down 15% from July 09’s 1033, but up 15% from the 746 recorded in August ‘08’.

Average selling prices were down 2.2% ($278,400) in August, from July’s $285,247, but up 2.8% from the reported $270,802 reported in August ‘08’.

“Home sales are stronger then expected,” commented Debbie Dawson, 2009 DRAR President. “The drop in sales from July to August is consistent with market history. Housing sales usually drop in August as most clients go on vacation or are busy getting children ready for a new school year.”

“Total active listings are down 34.6% (1865) from August 08’s 2849,” reported Dawson. “There is now a demand for resale homes in various price ranges within Durham. The demand is also keeping the average selling price up from the same time last year.”

August Mid-Month Statistics - Sales Up 19% In The Durham Region

SALES UP 19% IN THE DURHAM REGION

DURHAM REGION AUGUST 20, 2009 - The Durham Region Association of REALTORS®

(DRAR) reported 417 sales in the first half of August '09, an increase of 19% from the 349 sales reported mid-month in August '08.

"The average selling price climbed 3% ($281,223) from the $272,788 recorded at the same time last year," said Debbie Dawson, 2009 DRAR President. "As we start the third-quarter Durham Region's housing market is booming. With a 35% (1,929) decrease in inventory from the reported 2,972 active listings on market in August '08 and steady average selling prices, the market which was favorable to the buyer is now opening its doors in favour of the seller."

Durham Region Housing Statistics July 2009 - BUYERS MARKET NO MORE

Sales of single family homes in the Durham Region are down 7% (1033) in July ‘09’ from the recorded 1115 in June ‘09’, but up 16% from the 891 sales reported in July ‘08’.

Average selling prices are up 1.2% ($285,247) in July, from June’s $281,765, and up 3.7% from the reported $275,139, in July ‘08’.

“First-time buyers and the Bank of Canada rate cuts have helped restore stability to a market that slumped from late 2008 to early this year,” commented Debbie Dawson 2009 President of the Durham Region Association of REALTORS® (DRAR). “In early 2009 the housing market and economic crisis seemed to have battered consumer confidence; and now that we have reach mid-2009 the numbers show households are becoming more confident in their economic positioning and taking full advantage of the affordability of today’s housing market.”

Total active listings are down 11% (2023) from June’s reported 2276, and down 33% from July ‘08s’ 3003.

“With sales up and listings down the buyers market that we were seeing earlier this year has quickly turned into a sellers market,” commented Debbie Dawson. “Though it’s a sellers market, purchasers should still make sure they understand the market trends and development in the areas they are interested in. Researching the local job market, pricing, and comparables are still an important factor in the house hunting process.”

Second Best June on Record - Durham Region Housing Stats

“Sales of single family dwellings are up 8.6% (1115) in June 2009 from May’s reported 1026 sales, and up 15% from the reported 967 sales this time last year,” commented Debbie Dawson, 2009 Durham Region Association of REALTORS® (DRAR) President.

Average selling prices are up 1.2% ($281,765) in June from May’s $278,592, and down only .5% from the reported $283,012 in June ‘08.

“Although many records were set in last year’s housing market, they can be contributed to far better economic conditions,” said Dawson. “To see records being set in what was forecasted to be a slow market; shows that despite the current economic conditions, buyers are confident that better times are to come.”

Total active listings are down 11.7% (2276) from May’s 2579, and down 27% from June ‘08’s 3118.

“The summer market tends to slow as buyers head off to their vacation destinations but June’s numbers have shown no signs of a weak summer market,” commented Dawson. “In fact what was once a buyers market in 2009 has now turned into a seller’s market with listings down and sales up.”
