October Market Report In Our Communities

A look back at October 2020 compared to September 2020 and why it’s a great time to list your Property for Sale.

Halloween has come and gone and we’re now on the countdown to Christmas! The biggest gift this holiday season could very well be the value of your home. As we transition into the winter months, we’re seeing a big spike in sales prices compared to September.

The housing market rebounded very well during the summer months of Covid 19 and we’re optimistic about a strong winter market. This trend has continued into October and we’ve actually seen, on average a 17.93% raise in the sales prices of home sales in Midland, Penetanguishene, Tiny Township and Tay Township.

As to be expected, we did see a drop across our communities in the number of houses sold. The beginning of the fall season, kids returning to school and a change in weather are all examples of why we see this drop year over year. Having said that, sales in Midland stayed true to the number of homes sold in September with just 1 less home sold throughout the month.

The lower amount of properties on the market has seen a big spike across the region for sales prices. Tay Township alone saw a rise in the average price from $428,129 to $619,177 in October.

We are still seeing a shortage of inventory on the market. Bearing in mind that despite there being fewer homes available, there has been an increase in sale prices – this means that it’s a GREAT time to list your property for sale.

Lower inventory and motivated buyers drives the prices of property up and right now, we have both in our community. Now is the perfect time to list your property for sale with For Sale On Georgian Bay.

Toronto Home Prices In June Exceed Pre Covid Levels

We like to keep our finger on the pulse of what is happening in the GTA so that we can be prepared for when those trends filter north and all the way to Georgian Bay.

The Toronto Region housing market recovered considerably in June following a significant slowdown due to COVID-19. As cases started to decline across the province and the economy began to open up, more buyers and sellers jumped off the sidelines and returned to the market, kickstarting sales recovery. Similarly, average home prices continued on a steady upward trajectory, lapping February 2020 levels. This is significant as February was the last full month before COVID-19 health and safety measures were introduced. 

TREB noted there were 8,701 home sales across the Toronto Region in June – representing a striking 89% increase since May. Compared to February 2020, home sales across the Toronto Region grew 20%. New listings picked up across the region in June and exceeded June 2019 levels by 2%. New listing growth was significant on a m-o-m basis as well, with a 77% increase, and grew 52% since February.

So what does this mean for you? Based on the recent traction we are seeing in the market, although demand is not quite at pre-emergency levels, it certainly feels as though we are heading back in that direction. Inventory is growing again in the Southern Georgian Bay region and the demand for property is growly at a daily rate, especially as those looking to move north are selling their GTA properties.
