The Scarborough Market Right Now.
For Buyers
Scarborough isn't moving at the frantic pace of a couple years back, but don't mistake that for slack. Anything priced right and shown well is still getting snapped up fast. If you're serious, get your financing locked down before you start touring and know exactly what you're after.
For Sellers
The market's rewarding sellers who do the prep work: real pricing strategy, real presentation, real marketing, not the ones who just stick a sign in the yard and hope. Across our transactions we're averaging a 101.8% sold/asking ratio, per RE|DATUM.
Neighbourhoods
Scarborough at a Glance.
01
Birchcliff & Cliffside
The classic Scarborough streetscape: post-war bungalows and semis sitting on lots bigger than almost anything you'll find west of here, a short walk from the Bluffs.
02
Guildwood & Morningside Heights
Established, settled residential pockets in Scarborough's east end. Guildwood has a quieter, almost small-town feel with mature trees and lake proximity, while Morningside Heights offers newer housing stock.
03
Upper Beaches & Kingston Road Village
Scarborough's most walkable stretch: cafés, independent shops, and a main street feel along Kingston Road, spilling east from the Beaches.
04
The Scarborough Bluffs
Ninety metres of clay cliffline running along Lake Ontario, with trails, beaches, and views that rival anything in the city. Homes near the Bluffs carry a real lifestyle premium.

Common Questions
Scarborough Real Estate: Answered Straight.
What's the average home price in Scarborough right now?
Scarborough falls under the City of Toronto, where the broader GTA average is running around $1,017,796. Within that, Scarborough is consistently one of the more accessible entry points into Toronto.
Which Scarborough neighbourhoods should I be looking at?
Depends what you want. Birchcliff and Cliffside for bigger lots and bluffs proximity. Guildwood and Morningside Heights for settled, established residential streets. Upper Beaches and Kingston Road Village if you want to walk to a café.
Is the Scarborough subway extension actually happening?
Yes. It's an approved, funded project extending TTC subway service further into Scarborough. Historically, this kind of transit infrastructure lands ahead of meaningful price movement along the corridor.
Does Scarborough make sense as an investment property?
It's held up well historically, with stronger cap rates than a lot of other Toronto districts. A steady base of renters from UTSC and Centennial College keeps demand consistent.
How connected is Scarborough to Durham Region?
More than people expect. Scarborough shares a border with Pickering at Rouge National Urban Park, Highway 401 runs straight through, and GO Lakeshore East connects through Pickering into the rest of Durham.
