Two Whitby houses drop over $100,000 in price

While Whitby remains one of the more expensive Durham Region municipalities, with an average home price of $1,061,199, some sellers in the town are dropping listing prices–sometimes significantly. 

According to real estate website and brokerage Zoocasa, Whitby is one of several GTA municipalities where homeowners are re-evaluating their asking price in the face of a slowing market.

Here are two homes where the price has dropped $100,000 or more:

The four-bedroom, four-bathroom house was listed at $1,199,000 in June and at $1,218,888 in May, meaning the price has dropped $200,000 since last month.
