Whitby house prices have climbed to $947,919 in May 2026, pushing the average closer to the $1 million mark for the first time in recent memory. The latest numbers from Zolo.ca show the community remains in a strong seller’s market, with homes moving quickly and at near asking price.
In the 28 days ending May 26, 375 new listings hit the market in Whitby. Of those, 142 homes sold, spending an average of just 19 days on the market. Sellers are getting 99 per cent of their asking price, signalling that demand is keeping pace with a growing supply of homes.
The gains are most noticeable in the three-bedroom detached category. Those homes averaged $925,000 in May, a six per cent jump from $870,000 a year ago. Across the broader Greater Toronto Area, the average price sat at $1,051,969 in April, down 4.9 per cent from the year before, according to the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board. Whitby’s momentum stands out against that backdrop.
For buyers, the increase in listings offers more choice than earlier in the season, but prices remain elevated. Sellers can expect offers near their asking price and a quick turnaround. Durham Region as a whole has become one of the most competitive corners of the GTA, with the highest sale-to-list-price ratio and some of the lowest average prices compared to areas closer to Toronto.
Whitby’s market has seen a dramatic climb over the past decade. Average home prices here have risen 72.7 per cent since February 2016, with detached homes alone gaining more than $430,000 in value. While the pace of growth has cooled from its peak, the current numbers suggest the community remains a sought-after destination for families moving east of Toronto.
