Durham Region Market Update | September 2026 🏠

​Here is the real takeaway from this month's stats:

​More options for buyers: New listings surged across Durham, giving buyers more inventory and room to negotiate.

​Prices holding steady: Average prices stayed solid, with Pickering leading the region at over $1.04M and Oshawa remaining the most affordable entry point at $704K.

​Homes are moving: On average, properties are selling in about 3 to 4 weeks (24 to 33 days).

​💡 The Bottom Line:

It is a balanced market. Sellers need sharp pricing and great presentation to stand out, while buyers finally have time to shop without feeling rushed.

Think you need 20% down to buy a home? Think again! 🛑👇

​Here is the exact breakdown of how much cash you actually need upfront based on purchase price:

​🏠 $500,000 or less: 5% minimum
• $400,000 home = $20,000 down
​🏠 $500,000 to $1.5M: 5% on the first $500k + 10% on the remainder
• $700,000 home = $45,000 down
​🏠 $1.5M and above: 20% minimum

​💡 Pro Tip: Putting down less than 20% means you’ll need default insurance (CMHC/Sagen), but it lets you get into the market much sooner instead of trying to out-save rising home prices.

3 costly mistakes first-time buyers make before talking to a lender:

➡️​ Changing credit or job status right before applying

➡️​Draining all savings for the down payment and ignoring closing costs

➡️​House hunting based on online calculators instead of a real pre-approval

​💡 Pro tip: Getting pre-approved before hitting open houses prevents heartbreak, sets a clear budget, and allows you to make confident, fast offers when you find the right property.

Think your price is the ONLY reason your house isn’t selling? Think again. 🏡❌

​In today’s Ontario market, even subtle friction points can freeze a listing in its tracks. Here are 3 non-price dealbreakers keeping buyers away:

​1️⃣ Tenant Complications: Buyers are scared of Ontario LTB delays—tenanted homes face way tougher scrutiny.

2️⃣ Extreme Personalization: Taxidermy, wild wall colors, or clutter kill online photo engagement before a buyer ever steps foot inside.

3️⃣ Nightmare Showing Schedules: If buyers need 48 hours' notice or have to dodge pets, they'll just book the house down the street instead.

​Selling in 2026 takes strategy, proper prep, and zero friction.

​Thinking of listing soon? DM me "READY" and let’s make sure your home is positioned to sell fast! 📩
