Tuesday, August 25, 1992 omesale heatwave continues More homes were sold in the Durham Region this month than any other July in the Oshawa and District Real Estate Board's history as our lo- cal home sale heatwave continued. According to Multiple Listing System statistics released from ODREB, there were 481 homes sold, that's up 26.6 per cent over sales in July of last year.
