Why we’re covering Whitby

Whitby earned a dedicated report because it ranked as the fastest-selling housing market in Ontario in the most recent reported quarter — the lowest median market time of any city clearing our 50-sale disclosure floor. When one market tops the index’s headline speed metric, it deserves a closer look at whether that speed comes with price competition or sharp pricing.

Whitby currently ranks #7 of 103 qualifying Ontario cities on median market time for 2026 Q2.

Analyst commentary — 2026 Q2

Commentary for this report period has not been published yet. The figures on this page come straight from the finalized snapshot data above.

This report describes how Whitby homes have sold in past periods. It is not investment advice and past market heat is not a prediction of prices. City figures require at least 50 eligible sales, property-type cells 25, and neighbourhood cells 30 — smaller samples are withheld rather than ranked.
