The Peterborough housing market
The median detached home in Peterborough is approximately $600,000 in 2026, making it one of the most affordable cities in central Ontario. The city is anchored by Trent University and Fleming College, which drive rental demand. GTA buyers have increasingly looked east to Peterborough for space and affordability. The Kawarthas region surrounding the city adds seasonal and recreational property demand.
City median sold price $570,000 in May 2026 (up from $544,500 in March). Balanced market, about 3 months of inventory, average 37 days on market, median sale roughly $13,000 below asking. The wider Peterborough and Kawarthas region averaged about $710,000 across all property types in 2025.
Where prices sit by neighbourhood
Well-established southwest area with a mix of housing styles, close to schools, trails and recreation, one of the priciest pockets
Character neighbourhood east of the Otonabee River near downtown, prices tend to run above the city average
Established family area with larger homes and good access to schools and shopping along the Chemong corridor
Mixed older housing close to Trent's downtown footprint and the Hunter Street cafe district, more affordable entry points
What keeps demand steady
- Trent University (about 12,900 students, second-largest local employer)
- Fleming College (more than 8,500 full-time students)
- Peterborough Regional Health Centre (region's largest employer, 3,100+ staff and 450 physicians)

Why use a mortgage broker in Peterborough?
A mortgage broker is a licensed professional who shops multiple lenders on your behalf. Instead of going to one bank and accepting their offer, a broker compares rates and terms from 30+ lenders in a single application. The lender pays the broker, so there is no cost to you.
Peterborough pricing rewards buyers who move with financing already locked. On a Peterborough-sized mortgage, even a small rate gap adds up to thousands over a five-year term, which is exactly where shopping 30+ lenders pays off. A broker also negotiates the terms that bite later: prepayment privileges, portability within Peterborough County, and how your penalty is calculated if you break early. Big banks often calculate fixed-rate penalties off inflated posted rates, while many monolines and credit unions use your contract rate instead.

What we help with in Peterborough
From Kawartha Heights to East City, here is what we see most often in Peterborough.
Buying a Home
First-time or experienced buyer, we walk you through the stress test, down payment options, CMHC insurance, and closing costs. Then we find the rate and lender that fits your situation.
Mortgage Renewal
Your bank sends a renewal letter and hopes you sign it without shopping around. You can switch lenders at renewal with zero penalty. We compare the full market so you know exactly what you are leaving on the table.
Refinancing
Pulling equity for renovations, consolidating debt, or restructuring your mortgage to save money. We calculate the penalty, compare the options, and make sure the numbers actually work before you commit.
Investment Properties
Rental properties have different qualification rules, down payment requirements, and rate options. We know which lenders are investor-friendly and how to structure applications to maximize your buying power.
Healthcare Professionals
Physicians, dentists, residents, and nurses have unique financial situations. Student debt, income that jumps between career stages, and offer letters instead of T4s. We work with lenders who understand all of it.
Self-Employed
Business owners, freelancers, and commission earners face tighter scrutiny from traditional lenders. We know which lenders accept business financials, stated income, or alternative documentation to get you approved.
