I wanted to share a quick update on what we’re seeing in the Southern Georgian Bay real estate market so far this year.
While the average sale price is on the rise, the total number of homes sold and unit sales are down compared to this time last year.
So, what’s driving this shift?
🔹 An Increase in Luxury Sales:
We’re seeing more activity in the high-end segment of the market. These sales naturally raise the average sale price, even if fewer homes are selling overall.
🔹 Fewer Lower-Priced Homes Selling:
There’s been less movement in the more affordable brackets, which also skews the average price upward.
But there’s more at play here. With recent uncertainty in the stock market, many investors are turning to real estate as a safer, more stable investment. Here’s why:
✅ Real estate is a tangible asset — you can live in it, rent it out, or improve its value
✅ It offers long-term appreciation and a hedge against inflation
✅ Real estate often provides reliable income through rentals
✅ Historically, it holds up well even during economic slowdowns
In times like these, many are choosing to put their money where it can offer both stability and growth — and real estate continues to deliver on both fronts.
If you’re curious about how the current market conditions could impact your real estate plans or investment strategy, I’d be happy to chat.
