Bendale, Scarborough - July 2026 Real Estate Report

Bendale Real Talk: What Your Home Is Actually Worth Right Now

If you live in Bendale and you haven't checked your HonestDoor Price lately, this is your nudge. The market here is shifting, and the number on your last tax assessment is not telling you the full story.

The Vibe: What's Happening on Our Streets

Let's break it down by property type, because houses and condos are telling two very different stories right now.

Houses: Taking a Breather

The house market in Bendale is cooling off. Here's what the numbers actually say:

• Average HonestDoor Price: $920,810 - down 1.91% from the previous period
• Average sale price this month: $999,999 - down 9.1% from last month
• Listings are sitting at an average ask of $1,049,000
• Homes are selling at 95.33% of list price - buyers are negotiating, and winning
• Average days on market: 140 days - that is a long time to have a sign on your lawn
• Price per square foot: $703
• Predicted market value: $938,748
• Estimated monthly rent: $4,058 with a rental yield of 4.79%

Only 1 house sold last month. That is a thin market. When buyers have options and sellers are waiting 140 days, the leverage shifts. Buyers know it. The 95.33% sale-to-list ratio confirms it - nobody is paying full ask right now.

On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Bendale houses rank 8 out of 24 for growth in Scarborough - that puts us in the above-average tier, which is genuinely solid. Price rank sits at 5 out of 11, meaning we are priced above the middle of the pack. The days-on-market rank is 11 out of 11 - last place - which is the honest part nobody wants to hear. Homes here are taking longer to sell than anywhere else in the comparison group.

Compared to neighbours, we are ahead of Dorset Park (average sale $875,000) and roughly in line with Woburn (HonestDoor Price $904,680). Eglinton East is running hotter at $992,375.

Condos: A Quiet Bright Spot

Condos in Bendale are actually holding their ground, and then some.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $445,218 - up 0.62% from the previous period
• Predicted market value: $445,213 - trending up from the 3-month average of $443,517
• Estimated monthly rent: $2,290 with a rental yield of 3.94%
• Airbnb estimate: $114 per night
• Growth rank: 8 out of 25 in Scarborough - above average

While houses are softening, condo values here are quietly ticking up. We are still priced below Dorset Park ($468,397) and Eglinton East ($477,371), which means there is room to run. For investors or first-time buyers, that gap is worth paying attention to.

The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment

Here is the thing about your city assessment - it is a snapshot from the past. It does not know that Bendale houses have dropped 1.91% recently. It does not know that only 1 home sold last month, or that buyers are getting deals at 95 cents on the dollar. It is a static number in a moving market.

The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. It pulls in actual sales data, current listing trends, and what comparable homes are doing right now - not two years ago. If you are a homeowner in Bendale, your HonestDoor Price is the number that reflects what a buyer would actually put on the table today. That is the number that matters if you are thinking about selling, refinancing, or just figuring out where you stand.

For houses, that number is $920,810. For condos, it is $445,218. Write those down. They are your real-world baseline.

The So What: Should You Sell This Summer?

Straight answer - if you are selling a house in Bendale this summer, you need to go in with clear eyes. The market is not broken, but it is not on fire either. Homes are sitting for 140 days on average. Buyers are paying below list. Pricing sharp from day one is not a strategy right now - it is a requirement.

The good news is that Bendale still ranks above average for growth in Scarborough. We are not in a freefall. But the window where you could price high and wait it out has closed for now.

For condo owners, the picture is a bit brighter. Values are inching up, the rental yield is a respectable 3.94%, and we are priced below nearby neighbourhoods - which tends to attract buyers who got priced out of Eglinton East or Dorset Park. If you have been sitting on the fence, this is a reasonable time to have a conversation about listing.

Bottom line - check your HonestDoor Price before you do anything else. It takes 30 seconds and it will tell you more than any assessment notice ever will.
