October 2025 State of the Market Summary for Durham Region

October’s housing market in Durham Region solidified the shift towards cooler fall conditions, with a noticeable cooldown in sales activity and price softening becoming more widespread across most municipalities. While inventory levels are adjusting seasonally, buyers have gained significant negotiating power compared to the market of 2024.

What’s Happening Across the Region

Sales Activity: The market lost momentum, with most municipalities reporting lower sales compared to both last month and October 2024. This indicates a clear seasonal slowdown and a more cautious buyer pool.

Prices: The trend of price adjustment from 2024 peaks accelerated. All major markets saw average prices fall year-over-year, and most also experienced month-over-month declines, highlighting a broad-based softening.

Inventory: While active listings declined month-over-month due to seasonal factors, they remain substantially higher than in October 2024. This sustained higher inventory continues to tip the scale in favour of buyers.

Market Type:

• Balanced Market – Ajax

• Border of Balanced and Buyers Market – Pickering, Whitby

• Buyer’s Markets – Oshawa, Clarington, Uxbridge
   

City Highlights

Pickering: Despite a monthly sales increase, year-over-year sales fell significantly (-17.1%). A major year-over-year price drop (-12.4%) and a balanced-to-buyer's SNLR solidify its position as a buyer's market.

Ajax: Demonstrated remarkable stability with virtually unchanged sales and prices from September. Its balanced SNLR makes it one of the region's most steady and predictable markets.

Whitby: Saw a strong rebound in sales from September but remains in a balanced-to-buyer's market territory. Prices held relatively stable month-over-month, showing signs of finding a new equilibrium.

Oshawa: Experienced a significant year-over-year sales drop (-26.8%) and continued price erosion, cementing its status as a clear buyer's market with ample choice.

Clarington: Underwent a pronounced market cooldown, with sales falling sharply from both last month and last year. This has moved it from a balanced market into definite buyer's market territory.

Uxbridge: Displayed typical high volatility, with a sharp monthly price correction. However, prices remain dramatically higher than in October 2024 (+24.8%), showing its unique, high-end market character despite a current buyer's advantage (As I mentioned above, please keep in mind that with a lower number of sales and listings, the percentages / ratio's can became skewed, which is the case for Uxbridge)

Key Takeaway

For buyers, the fall market has delivered increased choice and greater negotiating power across almost all of Durham Region. There is less urgency to compete, allowing for more due diligence.
For sellers, accurate, competitive pricing is now absolutely critical to attract buyer interest. While balanced markets like Ajax and to some extent, Pickering and Whitby show stability, homes that are overpriced will likely sit on the market.
