Across the eight Durham Region municipalities, February has carried the highest sold prices over the last 6 years, at about $966,839, and September the lowest, at about $846,522. Each figure is the sales-weighted average of that calendar month's medians across all 6 years and all eight municipalities. That is a spread of roughly 14 percent between the strongest and weakest calendar month. Individual municipalities differ, so read your own city's row in the table above.
Measured by average days on market across the same 6 years, March has been the quickest month to sell in Durham Region, averaging about 12 days. March carries the most closings of any calendar month. The fastest month and the highest-priced month are not always the same one.
The table on this page answers that from the data rather than from the usual assumption. Over the last 6 years the weakest calendar month across Durham Region has been September, at about $846,522 against $966,839 in February, each an average of the monthly medians. The month matters far less than condition, pricing and preparation on any one home.
These are averages of real monthly medians, and they describe a whole municipality, not your street or your home. Get the number for your address and Shawn will tell you honestly whether waiting for a stronger month is worth it.
