Every figure describes active For-Sale residential listings — median asking (list) price and days on market of homes on the market today, never sold or closed data.
What’s for sale
Active inventory by dwelling type — 73% detached, 10% townhouse, 9% condo apartment. Medians are shown only for types with enough listings to be meaningful.
| Type | For sale | Median asking |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 228 | $650K |
| Townhouse | 31 | $560K |
| Condo apartment | 27 | $490K |
Semi-detached and other dwelling types are counted in the total above but not broken out. A blank median means fewer than 5 listings of that type.

A reduction is counted only when DistrictIQ observed the asking price change while the listing was on our feed — cuts made before we first saw a listing are invisible to us, so these figures are a floor, not a census of every reduction in Peterborough. Price increases are excluded.
Browse reduced listingsHow these figures are measured
Every statistic on this page is computed by DistrictIQ from active For-Sale residential MLS® listings in Peterborough at the time shown — the asking market. A median asking price is the middle list price of those homes; it is not a sold price, not an appraisal, and typically differs from what homes ultimately sell for. Sold and leased research exists on DistrictIQ for registered users, under the access rules that data requires.
Days on market counts days since a listing’s source date on the feed; new this week means listed within the last 7 days. Medians are published only for groups of 5+ listings — smaller groups show a blank rather than a misleading number. Catchment rows count listings zoned inside each school’s board-published attendance boundary, resolved per listing, not by distance. Figures refresh with the listing feed and describe the market as of the date shown, not the date you read this.
Market figures are derived by DistrictIQ from active TRREB / PropTx MLS® listings and reflect list-price activity (not sold prices) as of the date shown. They are provided for general information only, are not an appraisal, financial or investment advice, and must not be relied upon for any transaction. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
