If you have been watching the "For Sale" signs around Digby, here is the straight story. The average HonestDoor Price for homes here sits at $756,787 - up 5.33% from the previous period. That is real money moving in the right direction. The predicted market value for houses comes in at $718,506, and yes, that is slightly off the 3-month moving average of $735,521. The market is taking a small breather on the short-term trend, but the bigger picture still looks solid for Digby homeowners.
We are not just holding our own out here - we are near the top of the leaderboard. Digby ranks 2nd out of 14 comparable neighbourhoods in Kawartha Lakes for growth. That is a top-15% finish. Not bad for a community that does not always get the headlines.
Look at how our neighbours stack up against us. Dalton is coming in at $635,382 and Laxton at $674,358 - both noticeably cheaper than Digby. Bexley edges us slightly at $798,165. What that tells us is Digby sits in a sweet spot - more established than the cheaper options nearby, without the premium price tag of Bexley. For buyers, that is an entry point worth watching. For sellers, it means demand has real reasons to stay pointed at Digby.
Here is the thing about your city assessment. It is a snapshot taken in the past, updated on a slow government schedule, and it has no idea what your street looked like last month. The HonestDoor Price is a real-world check - it pulls in current market signals and updates in real time. With Digby sitting at a 5.33% increase in the HonestDoor Price, there is a real chance your city assessment is lagging behind what your home is actually worth today.
That gap matters. If you are making any financial decision - refinancing, selling, even just knowing your net worth - you want the number that reflects today, not two years ago. The HonestDoor Price is that number.
Digby is not just a place to live - it pencils out as an investment too. The average rental estimate comes in at $3,500 per month, with a rental yield of 5.21%. That is considered strong returns in any market. On the short-term rental side, the Airbnb estimate runs around $174 per night, and Digby holds an Airbnb rank of 11 in Kawartha Lakes. If you have a property sitting underused, those numbers are worth a conversation.
Here is the honest answer. The short-term number dipped 4.72%, and the predicted value is running just below the 3-month average. That tells you the market is not sprinting right now. But Digby is still ranked 2nd out of 14 neighbourhoods for growth - and the HonestDoor Price is still up 5.33% from the previous period. Those two facts do not cancel each other out. They mean you are in a market that has real strength underneath a short-term pause.
If you are thinking about selling this summer, the window is not closed - but pricing it right matters more than ever. Buyers in Kawartha Lakes have options. Dalton and Laxton are cheaper. Bexley is pricier. Digby has to earn its price tag with the right listing strategy. Pull your HonestDoor Price, compare it to your assessment, and have an honest conversation about where you actually stand. That is the move right now.
