Port Darlington, Clarington - July 2026 Real Estate Report

Port Darlington Is Quietly Outperforming - And Most Homeowners Don't Know It Yet

The Vibe Right Now

If you live on the water side of Clarington, your property is doing something most of the region isn't - it's climbing. Port Darlington is holding its own as one of the stronger pockets in the area, and the numbers back that up. Here's the honest breakdown for us locals.

Houses: Solid Ground

The average HonestDoor Price for a house in Port Darlington sits at $1,031,035 - up 4.87% from the previous period. That's not a fluke. The predicted market value is $983,128, and that number is trending upward against a 3-month moving average of $946,194. The direction of travel is clear.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $1,031,035
• Recent price change: up 4.87%
• Predicted market value: $983,128 (rising vs. 3-month average of $946,194)
• Average rental estimate: $4,268 per month
• Rental yield: 4.79% - moderate but real income
• Airbnb estimate: $212 per night
• Growth rank: 11 out of 47 neighbourhoods in Clarington - that puts us in the top quarter

Compare that to neighbours like Wilmot ($557,324) and Lakeview ($693,194), and it's obvious - Port Darlington houses are in a different weight class. Even Port Newcastle, the closest comp at $1,013,513, trails us slightly. We're not just keeping up. We're leading.

Condos: A More Nuanced Story

The condo picture is interesting. The average HonestDoor Price is $606,255 - up a strong 8.44% from the previous period. That's actually a bigger percentage jump than houses. But the predicted market value of $559,072 is sitting just below the 3-month moving average of $568,979, which tells us the condo market is taking a small breather after that run-up.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $606,255
• Recent price change: up 8.44%
• Predicted market value: $559,072 (slightly below 3-month average of $568,979)
• Average rental estimate: $2,963 per month
• Rental yield: 3.73%
• Airbnb estimate: $147 per night
• Airbnb rank in Clarington: 7th - that's a strong short-term rental position
• Growth rank: 18 out of 39 condo neighbourhoods - above average in Clarington

Nearby Wilmot condos are sitting at $450,345 and Port Newcastle at $522,775. Our condos are priced higher, and the rental demand justifies it. The short-term cooling in predicted value is worth watching, but it's not a red flag - it's a pause.

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

Here's the thing most homeowners miss. Your city assessment is a snapshot from the past - sometimes years old. It doesn't know that Port Darlington houses just moved up 4.87%, or that condos jumped 8.44%. The HonestDoor Price updates in real time, pulling from actual market movement right now.

If you're still quoting your MPAC assessment to a buyer, a lender, or even just to yourself, you're working with stale information. The HonestDoor Price is the real-world check - what your property is actually worth today, not what a government office decided it was worth two years ago. For a house in Port Darlington, that gap could easily be tens of thousands of dollars in your favour.

The So What - Thinking About Selling This Summer?

Honestly, the timing is worth a serious look. Houses are ranked 11th out of 47 neighbourhoods in Clarington for growth - that's a leaderboard position most sellers would take any day. Values are rising, the 3-month trend is pointing up, and rental demand at $4,268 per month means buyers who can't move in immediately have a clear income story to lean on.

For condo owners, the 8.44% price jump is a strong headline to bring to a listing conversation. Yes, the predicted value has dipped slightly below the recent moving average - but ranking 18th out of 39 condo neighbourhoods still puts us in the upper half of Clarington, and the Airbnb rank of 7th adds a layer of appeal for investor buyers.

Bottom line - if you've been sitting on the fence, the data right now is more in your corner than it's been in a while. Pull your HonestDoor Price, compare it to what your assessment says, and you'll see exactly what we mean.
