By Municipality (Average Sale Price)

Oshawa Specifics

• As of early September (Aug 09–Sep 06), the average sold price hovered around $738K, reflecting a 6.2% quarterly increase but still 6% lower year-over-year—suggesting some market softness despite recent growth

Interpretation: Is the Market Trending Up?

• Year-over-year comparison for August: Sales are down (~5%), and average prices are also down (~5%), which signals a short-term softening.

• Municipal insight: Oshawa’s lower average price compared to Whitby and Pickering suggests it's still one of the more affordable markets in the region—offering opportunities for buyers.

• Short-term stabilization: Oshawa’s quarter-over-quarter uptick shows some resilience. The drop in sales and prices across the region could also reflect a more balanced, less heated market—favoring prepared buyers.

Bottom line: While the market shows signs of rebalancing rather than soaring upward, municipalities like Oshawa remain attractive. With inventory increasing and competition easing slightly, August reflects steady opportunity—especially for strategic buyers.

The real estate market never sits still. One month, homes are selling in days with multiple offers, and the next, listings are sitting on the market while buyers hesitate. Whether you’re planning to sell soon or just curious, knowing what your home is worth today is essential.

Why You Should Know Your Home’s Value

Your home is one of your biggest investments. Even if you’re not ready to move yet, staying informed about its value helps you:

• Plan ahead – Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or refinancing, you’ll have a clear picture of your financial position.

• Make smart moves – In a fast-changing market, the right knowledge lets you act quickly and confidently.

• Track your equity growth – With shifting interest rates and fluctuating home prices, your equity can grow—or shrink—faster than you think.

The Market is Always Changing

Interest rates, housing inventory, and buyer demand can all dramatically impact your home’s value. A property worth $900,000 last year could be worth $850,000—or even more—depending on the market today.

This is why it’s so important to stay ahead of the curve. Waiting too long to get an accurate value could mean missing out on opportunities or leaving money on the table.
