Well don't get too excited.  After looking a little deeper, it seems that included in the figures for January were 2 multi-million dollar development properties.  If we remove those 2 sales from January's numbers, it brings the average sale price in Whitby down to a more realistic $397,178.  This is an increase of roughly 6% which is way more in line with the averages across the region.

STATS 3 STATS 4

We are continuing to see a strong market which is largely being driven by the low inventory and high demand, not only in Whitby, but across the Durham Region.

If you are considering a move, perhaps are just curious about the value of your home or just want to learn more about the real estate market, give us a call.  We're always happy to help.
