Samac, Oshawa - July 2026 Real Estate Report

Samac, Oshawa: Your Home Is Worth More Than the City Thinks

The Vibe Right Now

If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs in Samac lately, here's what's actually happening. The market is taking a breather - but it's not falling apart. Houses and condos are telling two slightly different stories, and knowing which one applies to your place could be worth real money this summer.

Houses in Samac - Steady, With Some Upside

We're sitting at an average HonestDoor Price of $791,240 for houses. Yes, that's down about 2% from the last period - but here's the thing that matters more. The predicted market value for houses is $807,428, and that number is climbing past the 3-month moving average of $803,645. The trend is pointing up, not down.

• Average sale price: $660,000
• Current listings averaging: $685,000
• Price per square foot: $625
• Homes selling at 96.35% of list price - buyers are negotiating, but not by much
• Average days on market: 15 days
• Rental yield: 5.03% - that is genuinely strong for this market
• Estimated monthly rent: $3,651
• Growth rank: 6 out of 20 neighbourhoods in Oshawa - solidly above average

Fifteen days on market is fast. That tells us buyers are still showing up for the right house at the right price. The days-on-market rank of 4 out of 8 confirms it - Samac houses move moderately fast compared to the rest of Oshawa. That's not a slow market. That's a market where pricing correctly still gets results.

Condos in Samac - The Underdog Worth Watching

Condo owners, your HonestDoor Price is sitting at $429,890 - down 2.65% recently. But the predicted market value of $441,593 is already climbing above the 3-month average of $426,425. That gap between where prices were and where they're heading is actually good news if you're thinking about your next move.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $429,890
• Predicted market value: $441,593
• Estimated monthly rent: $2,246
• Rental yield: 3.94%
• Airbnb estimate: $109 per night
• Growth rank: 7 out of 19 Oshawa neighbourhoods - above average
• Recent value change: up 1.33%

Compared to nearby Centennial, Windfields, and Taunton, Samac condos are the most affordable entry point in the area. Taunton condos are averaging $697,254. Windfields are at $592,147. If someone is priced out of those neighbourhoods, Samac is where they land next - and that buyer demand is real.

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

Here is the honest truth about city assessments. They are snapshots frozen in time. The city looks at your home once every few years and slaps a number on it. That number has nothing to do with what a buyer would actually pay you today.

The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. It pulls from actual sales, current listing data, and live market signals - not a spreadsheet from two years ago. Right now, for Samac houses, the HonestDoor predicted value of $807,428 is sitting noticeably above the average sale price of $660,000. That gap is information. It tells you where the market sees your home heading, not where it was.

If you are making any financial decision - refinancing, selling, even just figuring out if your insurance coverage makes sense - your city assessment is the wrong number to use. Check your HonestDoor Price first.

The "So What?" - Thinking About Selling This Summer?

Here is the straight talk for Samac homeowners eyeing a summer sale.

• Houses are moving in 15 days when priced right - that is your window
• Buyers are paying 96.35% of list price, so overpricing by even 5% will cost you time and momentum
• Your neighbours in Taunton are listing houses at over $1,000,000 - Samac's relative affordability is a selling point, not a weakness
• A 5.03% rental yield means investors are watching this neighbourhood - that is a second pool of buyers working in your favour
• Condo sellers - the predicted value recovery is happening now, but patience has a limit; above-average growth rank of 7 out of 19 means you are not in a weak spot

Summer inventory typically rises, which means more competition on the street. If you are serious about selling, getting your HonestDoor Price dialled in before June gives you a real edge over the neighbours who wait until August to figure out what their home is worth. Do not be that neighbour.
