DRAR President Vicki Sweeney reported 518 residential transactions in December 2019 representing a 16 per cent increase from the same time last year. Total resi...dential 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. REALTORS have been advocating for a review of the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act, 2002 (REBBA) and as a result of REALTORS strong advocacy efforts, Bill 145, the Trust in Real Estate Services Act (TRESA) was introduced in November, said Sweeney. After passing second reading, REALTORS are encouraged to continue to contact their MPP’s for support. Once passed, TRESA will ensure real estate professionals have the highest professional standards, training and tools. 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. #housing #housingmarket #durham #durhamregion

Interesting facts about Home Buyers.

Increase of residential transactions heats up the fall market in Durham Region The Durham Region Association of REALTORS (DRAR) President Tina Bradt-Sorichett...i reported 968 residential transactions in October 2019. This result represents a 21 per cent increase year-over-year in Durham. The average selling price remained consistent increasing by 4 per cent from last year to $613,606 in October 2019. Durham Region’s housing market remains strong as we see another significant year-over-year sales increase, said DRAR President Sorichetti. Month-over-month residential transactions have been increasing in Durham and it is positive to see the continued momentum during the fall market. The number of new listings in Durham decreased slightly from the same time last month reaching 1,625 in October 2019. On a month-over-month basis the days on market (DOM) decreased from an average of 25 days last month to 22 days for October 2019. The average days on market has decreased from the previous month which is a great sign for Durham. Houses on the market are moving fast and residential transactions in Durham continue to remain strong. It is typical to see a slight decrease in new listings during the fall market as some sellers may wait until the spring, stated Sorichetti. The MLS Home Price Index Composite Benchmark was up 3.69 per cent on a year-over-year basis in October 2019. The Benchmark Composite home price for Durham Region was $571,500 last month. Durham Region has a variety of affordable housing options and home types making it a favourable market for buyers. The Benchmark price for a Townhouse in Durham’s Clarington market reached $437,100. During the federal election, some parties committed to more flexibility regarding mortgage lending, including the reintroduction of a 30-year amortization period for insured mortgages and flexibility of the OSFI mortgage stress test application, said Tina Sorichetti. We hope to see these and other housing-related policies brought forth in the new minority parliament. DRAR would like to congratulate candidates who ran in Durham Region on their hard-fought campaigns. We look forward to working together with elected officials and continuing the conversation on behalf of REALTORS, home buyers and sellers. See more
