​December brought the usual seasonal slowdown, but across Durham and the Central Lakes the market is closing the year on a steady and encouraging note. 

​

Durham remains the stability leader. Sales cooled with the winter, but prices held firm month-to-month, reinforcing Durham's reputation as one of the most reliable and balanced markets in the region heading into 2026.

​

​​Toronto continues to shift into opportunity territory. Pricing trended lower year-over-year improving affordability.

 

Strong standouts outside the GTA:

​

Hastings County posted the biggest year-over-year sales surge, up more than 40%, showing exceptional demand even during a slow season.

 

Prince Edward County recorded a sharp month-over-month jump in sales, rising by more than 35%, signalling renewed interest heading into the new year.

 

Peterborough saw prices remain relatively stable with only modest seasonal softening, continuing to appeal to buyers focused on long-term value.

 

We have strong positioning as we move into 2026.
