If you live on a quiet street in Stevenson and you have been wondering whether your home is worth what it was a year ago, the honest answer is: probably a little less. Values are dipping, not crashing. But the direction matters, and we should talk about it.
The average HonestDoor Price for a house in Stevenson sits at $643,625. That is down 2.33% from the previous period. The predicted market value comes in a touch higher at $659,005, but even that number is trending down from the 3-month moving average of $661,485. We are not in freefall - but the momentum has shifted.
On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Stevenson houses rank 17 out of 20 for growth in Oshawa. That puts us near the bottom of the pack right now. Nearby, Farewell is outperforming us with an average HonestDoor Price of $659,565. Vanier and Central are priced almost identically to Stevenson, so there is no dramatic gap - just a slow drift.
The silver lining? If you own a house here and you are thinking about renting it out, the numbers are genuinely strong. Estimated rent runs $3,073 to $3,144 per month, with a rental yield of 5.33%. That is a real return. For landlords, Stevenson houses are still doing the job.
This is where we need to be straight with each other. Condo values in Stevenson have dropped 7.26% from the previous period. The average HonestDoor Price is $193,350, and the predicted market value is $208,483 - down from a 3-month moving average of $212,094. That is a meaningful slide in a short window.
On the leaderboard, Stevenson condos rank 14 out of 19 in Oshawa for growth. Below average. And compared to nearby neighbourhoods, condos here are priced significantly lower - Central averages $506,230 and Farewell averages $463,811. That gap is hard to ignore if you are a condo owner watching your equity.
Rental income for condos is modest at around $1,045 to $1,122 per month, with a rental yield of 4.28%. Not bad, but not exceptional either. The Airbnb numbers are minimal at roughly $51 to $57 per month - so do not count on short-term rentals to save the math here.
Here is the thing about your city tax assessment: it is a snapshot from the past. It does not know that Stevenson house values have slipped 2.33% recently. It does not know the 3-month trend is pointing downward. It is basically a photo from a party that ended months ago.
Your HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. It is pulling in current sales data, neighbourhood comparisons, and market movement - not a number a government office locked in during a different rate environment. If you are making any financial decision tied to your home right now - whether that is refinancing, selling, or just knowing where you stand - the HonestDoor Price is the number that actually reflects today's market. Check it before you rely on anything the city sent you in the mail.
If you own a house in Stevenson and you are thinking about listing this summer, the window is not closed - but it is not wide open either. Values are dipping and we are sitting near the bottom of the Oshawa growth leaderboard. That means pricing your home right from day one is critical. Overpricing in a softening market is the fastest way to sit on a listing nobody calls about.
For condo owners, the conversation is harder. A 7.26% drop is a real number. If you do not need to sell right now, waiting for the market to stabilize is a reasonable call. If you do need to sell, get a current HonestDoor Price estimate and price aggressively - buyers in this segment have options and they know it.
The rental yield on houses - 5.33% - is worth noting for anyone on the fence. If selling feels rushed, renting your Stevenson house at $3,000-plus per month is a legitimate hold strategy while you watch where this market lands by fall.
Bottom line: Stevenson is not a neighbourhood in crisis. It is a neighbourhood taking a breather. Know your real number, price with your eyes open, and do not let an outdated assessment make the decision for you.
