Southern Georgian Bay Market Report First Quarter

After a Region Record Breaking $2 Billion Sales Volume Year in 2021; everyone has been skeptical of what 2022 would bring. Insert Interest Rates rising at unprecedented pace, a war, COVID wave 6 and many are speaking of a "crash". DRUM ROLL...

Volume Sales DOWN, Unit Sales DOWN, Sales/Listing Ratio DOWN

BUT...

AVERAGE SALE PRICE UP!!!!!!!

Reviewing the numbers from Q1, it all makes sense. Even with all of the “noise” happening in the market, it has not cooled our Average Sale Price – maybe the opposite?

Volume Sales is down 22% from March 2021. Unit Sales plummeted further from February’s 18% drop to 32% compared to March 2021.

This results in more buyers crowding into the already limited space and could continue to drive the price up!

The Impact On Your Home

So we are finally seeing some negative percentages, which is new since the rollercoaster Covid has put RE on. Unfortunately for many buyers, all these numbers mean are less houses on the market and prices still increasing.
