Port Darlington, Clarington - August 2026 Real Estate Report

Port Darlington, Clarington: Your Home Is Worth More Than the City Thinks

The Vibe Right Now

If you live on the water side of Clarington, you already know Port Darlington is not your average neighbourhood. The numbers back that up. Houses here are sitting at an average HonestDoor Price of $1,023,121 - and condos are climbing fast at $651,379, up 7.44% from the previous period. This is one of the stronger pockets in Clarington right now, and the data is starting to prove it.

Houses: Holding Strong at the Top

Yes, the average house price dipped a slight 0.77% from last period. That is not a crash - it is the market taking a breather. What matters more is the forward-looking number: the predicted market value for houses sits at $1,031,035, which is already climbing above the 3-month moving average of $987,996. That gap tells us momentum is building, not fading.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $1,023,121
• Predicted Market Value: $1,031,035
• 3-Month Moving Average: $987,996
• Recent Value Change: +4.87%
• Growth Rank: 15 out of 46 neighbourhoods in Clarington - top third
• Average Rental Estimate: $4,240 per month
• Rental Yield: 4.73%
• Airbnb Estimate: $211 per night - ranked 19th in Clarington

For context, compare us to the neighbours. Wilmot houses average $549,390. Port Newcastle sits at $985,686. Lakeview comes in at $690,920. Port Darlington is the price leader on this stretch of the lake, and it is not particularly close.

Condos: The Surprise Story

This is where things get interesting. Condos in Port Darlington jumped 7.44% last period. The predicted value is $606,255, up from a 3-month average of $573,697. That is a real move. The growth rank of 20 out of 39 condo neighbourhoods in Clarington puts us right in the middle of the pack - but with an 8.44% recent value change, we are pushing toward the top half fast.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $651,379
• Predicted Market Value: $606,255
• 3-Month Moving Average: $573,697
• Recent Value Change: +8.44%
• Growth Rank: 20 out of 39 condo neighbourhoods in Clarington
• Average Rental Estimate: $3,139 per month
• Rental Yield: 3.63%
• Airbnb Estimate: $156 per night - ranked 4th in Clarington for condos

That Airbnb rank of 4th in all of Clarington is a number worth paying attention to. If you own a condo here and are not thinking about short-term rental income, you are leaving money on the table. Nearby Port Newcastle condos average $562,731 and Wilmot sits at $557,773. Port Darlington condos are priced above both - and earning it.

The Secret Sauce: Your HonestDoor Price vs. Your Tax Assessment

Here is the honest truth about your city assessment. It is a snapshot taken months - sometimes over a year - ago. It does not know about the 4.87% move in house values or the 8.44% jump in condo prices that happened recently. It is a static number in a market that keeps moving.

The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using actual sales data, market trends, and neighbourhood-level signals. For a Port Darlington homeowner, that difference is not trivial. We are talking about a house market predicted at $1,031,035 right now. If your tax assessment is anchored to an older, lower number, you have no idea what your home is actually worth today - and neither does a buyer walking through your door without doing their homework.

Check your HonestDoor Price before you do anything else. It is the real-world number, not the government's best guess from last year.

So What Does This Mean If You Are Thinking About Selling This Summer?

The window is real. House values are predicted to climb past $1,031,000 and the 3-month trend is pointing up. Condo values are on an even steeper climb. Selling this summer means you are not chasing the market - you are ahead of it.

A few things to keep in mind before you plant that sign in the yard:

• Port Darlington is the most expensive neighbourhood on this stretch of Clarington - price it right and buyers will come, but do not overshoot
• Rental demand is strong at $4,240 per month for houses - buyers who are investors will know this, and it works in your favour
• The Airbnb income story is a legitimate selling point, especially for condos ranked 4th in the region
• Your competition in nearby neighbourhoods is priced significantly lower - lean into what makes Port Darlington worth the premium

Bottom line: if you have been sitting on the fence, the data right now is telling you to get off it. Pull your HonestDoor Price, know what you actually have, and make a move while the numbers are working in your favour.
