Clarington's Top Real Estate Areas
Considering buying or selling a home in Clarington? It would help to understand which MLS districts are performing best in the area.
This article shows which ones are doing best in the most recent quarter for which residential sales figures are available.
Rural Clarington +38.5%
The number one area in Clarington was Rural Clarington. The average one year increase here was exceptional at 38.5% with the average price in Q3 of 2016 being $664,038. In Q3 of 2015 the average price was $479,293.
Providing substantially to the rise here is the 407 extension that is rapidly working its way through the area. It is expected to be open to east of Courtice, as well as the 418 link to the 401 by the end of 2017.
These two arterial links will provide timely access for Rural Clarington residents to the southern Durham areas, as well as to the Toronto area

Newcastle +23.8%
Third place was Newcastle. Prices gained an average of 23.8%, with a Q3 2016 value of $467,189 over last year's $377,303.
It's only a few minutes east of Bowmanville, with a small town feel.
Orono +23.5%
Fourth place went to Orono. Prices here rose 23.5% with an average selling price of $491,500 in Q3 2016 versus $398,071 in Q3 2015.
