'No Shortage of Small-Town Charm in Durham' It's the "perfect mix of suburban and rural" and "an excellent place for those seeking a home close to green space and the waterfront." That's how MoneySense describes Durham Region in its annual Where to Buy Real Estate in Canada report.* There are lots of great reasons why the digital magazine and financial media website is watching Durham, including robust employment opportunities and relatively affordable housing. For starters, Durham is home to many companies across the energy, environmental and engineering sectors that together employ more than 10,000 people. The region also boasts thriving film, agricultural, technology and automotive industries, and Durham College and Ontario Tech University (formerly The University of Ontario Institute of Technology) have resulted in a growing student population. Durham is also a "great option" for those commuting to Toronto, with easy highway access and ample public transit, including GO Transit. Those who enjoy being close to nature have access to national parks and more than 900 kilometres of waterfront. "In other words, there's no shortage of small-town charm and rural beauty in Durham Region," MoneySense says. On the real estate front, Durham's housing market has seen "remarkable growth" in the last year. Like other parts of the country, recent increases in prices were driven by factors that include low housing inventory, historically low interest rates and work- from-home measures that enticed many employees to move further from the big cities. As MoneySense notes, the market is beginning to balance. In fact, it's already more balanced than it was in March 2021 and with rising interest rates and the movement of people back to full-time office work, rapid price increases are more likely to slow, it predicts. (The Bank of Canada's next scheduled interest rate hike announcement is set for July 13.) MoneySense teamed up with Zoocasa, a full-service tech brokerage, to rank the best neighbourhoods in which to buy today. Zoocasa examined local real estate data and trends to uncover the neighourhoods that offer the great value and price-growth potential. The guide also includes a national ranking of cities and regions, as well as information on the top neighbourhoods in 12 other markets across Canada. According to the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board, May sales were down on a monthly and annual basis. Conversely, active listings at the end of May were up on a month-over-month and year-over-year basis. The average price in all TRREB areas was $1.2 million. Here in Durham, the average price was $995,670. Please remember that real estate markets are cyclical and go up and down based on a variety of factors.

They were like the friends who would pitch in and help to do whatever was needed whenever it was needed to get our home ready for sale and be just a phone call (or visit) away to calm any worries we had. The result - we are overjoyed that our home was sold for well above the asking price and I think we have friends for life. Eleanor and Maurice are consummate professionals and always made us feel confident in the approach we were taking to make the most significant financial transaction in our lives. Thank you both so much for your valued support and expertise. - Jeff and Theresa. Thinking of making a Move? Call us 905.409.6730We have Buyers! FOR SALE ! 6 Bed / 6 Bath Premium Pie Shaped Lot!
