Highland, Clarington - September 2026 Real Estate Report

Highland, Clarington: Here Is What Your Home Is Actually Worth Right Now

If you have been glancing at your property tax assessment and feeling pretty good about it, hold on. The numbers coming out of Highland right now tell a more complicated story - and depending on whether you own a house or a condo, that story is very different.

The Vibe: Houses vs. Condos in Highland

Houses - Steady, But Watch the Drift

The house market in Highland is not crashing. But it is not charging ahead either. Here is the honest read on where things sit for us right now.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $792,942 - down 0.48% from last period
• Average sale price: $805,600 - essentially flat
• Current listings are asking $838,800 on average
• Price per square foot: $620
• Homes are selling at 96.04% of list price - buyers are negotiating, and winning
• Average days on market: 37 days
• Predicted market value: $796,763 - down from the 3-month average of $814,295
• Rental yield: 5.06% - that is a strong number for landlords
• Estimated monthly rent: $3,620
• Growth rank: 30 out of 47 neighbourhoods in Clarington - below average on the leaderboard
• Days-on-market rank: 7 out of 9 - homes here are sitting longer than most of Clarington
• Price rank: 6 out of 12 - we are above average in price, which is a good position to hold

The gap between what sellers are asking ($838,800) and what buyers are actually paying ($805,600) tells you everything. Buyers have options right now. If your house is priced like it is 2022, it will sit. That 37-day average is a signal, not a fluke.

The one bright spot for house owners? If you are thinking about renting instead of selling, a 5.06% rental yield is genuinely solid. At $3,620 a month in estimated rent, Highland houses are pulling real income.

Condos - A Wild Swing You Need to Understand

The condo picture in Highland is where things get interesting - and a little unsettling if you own one.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $503,354 - up 20.76% from the previous period
• Predicted market value: $416,838 - down from the 3-month average of $443,421
• Recent value change: -13.84%
• Estimated monthly rent: $2,167
• Rental yield: 4.00% - moderate
• Growth rank: 37 out of 39 neighbourhoods in Clarington - near the bottom of the leaderboard
• Airbnb rank in Clarington: 20

That 20.76% jump in the HonestDoor Price sounds exciting. But pair it with a -13.84% recent value change and a predicted value of $416,838 - well below the HonestDoor average of $503,354 - and you can see there is real volatility here. Ranking 37 out of 39 for growth in Clarington is a number worth taking seriously. Nearby Glenview condos are predicted at $481,669, which puts Highland condos at a discount to the neighbourhood next door.

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

Here is the thing about your city assessment - it is a snapshot from the past. It does not know that Highland house values have drifted below the 3-month moving average, or that condo values have swung hard in both directions recently. It is a static number in a market that is moving every week.

The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using actual sales data, listing activity, and neighbourhood comparisons. For Highland house owners, that means knowing your home is sitting at $792,942 today - not whatever the assessment said last year. For condo owners, it means seeing the full picture of that volatility before you make a decision based on a number that is already out of date.

If your tax assessment is higher than your HonestDoor Price, you may be overpaying on property taxes. That is a conversation worth having with your municipality - and you need current data to have it.

The So What - Thinking About Selling This Summer?

For house sellers: the window is open, but it is not wide. Buyers are paying about 4% below asking right now. That means if you list at $838,000 hoping to land at $805,000, the math actually works - but only if your home is priced sharp from day one. Overpriced homes in Highland are sitting for over a month. In a summer market, that kind of stale listing is hard to recover from.

Your competition is real. Farewell Heights houses are averaging $1,659,893 and Glenview sits at $857,900 - both pulling buyers who want to stay in this corner of Clarington. You need to give buyers a reason to choose Highland, and right now that reason is value.

For condo sellers: move carefully. A growth rank of 37 out of 39 in Clarington means this is not a market where you can afford to wait and hope values recover on their own. If you are thinking about selling, get your HonestDoor Price pulled today and have an honest conversation about timing. Holding for appreciation in a bottom-tier growth neighbourhood is a gamble right now.

For everyone else - whether you are staying put, renting out, or just keeping score - check your HonestDoor Price. It is the only number in this market that is actually keeping up with what is happening on your street.
