Read live from the listing board and refreshed through the day. Whitby has more listings than one page returns, so the medians describe the 100 most recently listed homes rather than the whole market. These are asking prices. What a home actually sells for is a different number, and the one that matters if you are selling.

What Whitby is actually like

Whitby pairs a historic downtown and a working harbour with a large stock of newer family subdivisions to the north. It is one of the more balanced Durham markets: real amenities, GO access, and more house and yard than the same money buys closer to Toronto.
