August 2026  ·  By Segment

By Area

Durham Region is not one market. Here is how three key segments compare this month — starting with Port of Newcastle on its own.

Port of Newcastle
$637,500
Median · All Property Types · August 2026

A community Brandon knows well. Its lake-adjacent setting, limited detached inventory, and continued interest from families across the 905 help shape local market activity.

Premium Detached — Clarington
$802,500
Median · Detached · August 2026

Detached homes across Clarington. These properties move more slowly but hold their value well over time.

Entry Point & Investment
$533,000
Median · Condo + Townhouse · Clarington · August 2026

Condominiums and townhomes across Durham Region. More days on market than detached but still active for first-time buyers and investors watching carrying costs carefully.

Brandon's Read  ·  June 2026

What This Means For You

Summer typically brings more inventory and a bit less urgency. Buyers who held off during the spring now have more choices than they did four months ago, and there is slightly more room to negotiate. For sellers in Newcastle and Port of Newcastle specifically, the market is still active but pricing precision matters more than it did at the spring peak. Overpriced listings are sitting. Homes priced in line with the current median are moving in two to three weeks.

The 12-month trend above tells the bigger story. This market pulled back in the fall and winter of 2025, recovered steadily through the first quarter of 2026, and is now entering a predictable summer plateau. That pattern is consistent with what Durham Region has done historically. The buyers and sellers who pay attention to this are the ones who make better decisions at the table.
