One last look back at 2022 as we take in the December Market Stats. We saw a large decrease in sales activity where December sales were down 48% compared to 2021. For a few months in a row now, active listings continued to surge, across our communities we saw 349% rise in active listings. There’s lots of opportunities for Buyers right now but don’t forget that seller’s are still getting top dollar for their properties. Although prices are down (1.7%), it’s important to remember that, year to date, the average sale price is up 7.7% compared to this point last year.

In our local communities, we saw the active listing trends continue, a lot more inventory in Penetanguishene with a staggering 2600% increase and in Tiny with a 507% increase. We also saw large inventory increases in Midland and Tay throughout December. Prices stayed fairly consistent compared to last year with very minimal decreases In Midland, Tiny & Tay. Across our other communities, we saw larger decreases. However, it’s important to note that there were limited sales to base this information off – Sales Activity was down almost 48% across the region. As we head into the new year, we expect a re-balancing of the market to continue with more opportunities for buyers but also attractive sales prices for sellers.

As we look back at June, we can see that the market has begun to balance out. There was no large average sale price increases year over year, in fact we saw a 1.5% decrease in average sale prices compared to 2021. It’s worth keeping in mind though that prices are still up 36% compared to 2020 and 54% compared to 2019. The trifecta of rapidly rising mortgage rates, declining demand and surging listings (Up 89% in our communities) has shifted the market balance, previously in favour of sellers for a prolonged period, into a buyer’s market for the first time in many years.

In our local communities, we saw these trends continue, a lot more inventory in Midland with a huge 133% increase and in Penetang with a 181% increase. We also saw large inventory increases in Tiny and Tay throughout June. Prices stayed pretty consistent across our communities, a 2% decrease in Tay and 1.6% decrease in Tiny however Penetang saw 6% increase in average sale price. Even with a small decrease, Tiny’s average price is still lingering very close to the $1m mark for average pricing. Whilst house prices still look very attractive to sellers, the Bank of Canada adjusts interest rates we will see more variations moving forward. Interest is likely to continue to rise so don’t miss out on that dream home now.

There’s been a change in the market over the last little while. For the first time in a long time we’re seeing both a raise in Sale prices and Active and New Listings. So finally, the inventory is starting to match the demand that we’re seeing from buyers. Buyers are still motivated though as the average price has gone up 10%. Despite the increase in listings, inventory is still down over 40% compared to pre-pandemic. Recent news of interest rate hikes have effected the market, but it’s important to remember, even after these increases, the rate is still lower than pre-pandemic.

In our local communities, we saw these trends continue, a lot more inventory in Midland with a huge 195% increase. We also saw large inventory increases in Tiny, Penetang and Tay throughout May. Prices are still continuing to rise in our area with the biggest in Tay at 36% increase. Tiny’s average price dipped 12% compared to last year but still sits just below the $1m mark for average pricing. There are starting to be more options for all those hungry buyers but prices are still climbing. So May bought good news for buyers and sellers alike.

The spring market is here and we’ve seen a slight shift in the market. In March, we saw that active listings across our communities are up over 17% compared to 2021. It’s been a lack of inventory that has been driving up prices, so this news will be welcomed by the many buyers looking. However, inventory is still incredibly low – down more than 61% compared to pre pandemic numbers. With less options on the market, we continue to see house prices rise as the new average house price edges towards the $1Million mark – up around 30%.

Across our communities, we saw these trends continue, however we are starting to see more listings come to market. Tiny’s average price rose 21% compared to last year whilst also breaking the $1m mark for average pricing. Midland saw a 19.8% raise in average pricing but also a 42% hike in active listings. There are starting to be more options for all those hungry buyers but overall our community is still lacking the amount of inventory to match the buyer’s desires. With low competition, it’s still a great time to take advantage of the market and achieve maximum price for your property.
