local market conditions: 2009 Year End Real Estate Report for the Georgian Triangle - 01/03/10 07:25 PM
2009 Real Estate Market Report for Collingwood, Blue Mountain and Area
What a year 2009 was in the real estate market. It was somewhat like driving in a snowstorm trying to sense the road ahead and having to make adjustments with each new gust.
First, a quick explanation about the data to follow. The Georgian Triangle area traditionally includes Collingwood, Blue Mountain, Wasaga Beach, Clearview, Grey Highlands and Meaford. The data collected by our Georgian Triangle Real Estate Board MLS® however, captures a wider area that includes towns on the edges of our typical trading area. As I know most of … (2 comments)

local market conditions: Here’s An Easier Way To Follow The Real Estate Market - 01/15/09 10:54 AM
I know that statistics and charts can be a bit mind numbing. On the other hand, they are the story that we need to know telling us where we've been and where we might be going.
I like to watch certain stats in particular: the number of new listings, the number of sales, the number of price reductions but most of all, the sales to listing ratio. That is perhaps one of the better indicators of what is going on in the market.
Let me explain this little ratio thing. It's calculated by dividing the number of sales by the number … (2 comments)

local market conditions: The Truth About The Present Market Trend - 01/05/09 07:14 PM
The boom is over. That's old news by now and the question is, how far will the market fall and for how long? While none of us knows the answer to that, it's important to monitor the trends closely.
I've been reading lots of year-end wrap-ups of various different markets but, in my opinion, a full year is far too broad a time frame for monitoring emerging trends. For example, in our market, prices over the year fell around 2% but that does not take into account upticks early in the year and declines in the last quarter. So, because I'm … (0 comments)

local market conditions: 2008 Year End Real Estate Report for the Georgian Triangle - 01/05/09 01:44 PM
After reviewing, crunching, tabulating and charting, I finally have a report to share on the 2008 Georgian Triangle Real Estate Board performance. The Georgian Triangle area traditionally includes Collingwood, Blue Mountain, Wasaga Beach, Clearview, Grey Highlands and Meaford however, the data in some cases captures a wider area that includes towns on the edges of our typical trading area.
It's a tough undertaking to provide you with the fairest and most unbiased data because as Mark Twain once said, "Facts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable." The outcomes change depending on the data used and variables like areas, types of properties, … (0 comments)

local market conditions: First Quarter 2008 Georgian Triangle, Ontario Real Estate Market Report - 04/01/08 10:17 PM
I've just spent the last hour or so scratching my head over economic theories. The rules I was taught says that when supply exceeds demand, prices go down and when demand exceeds supply, prices go up. Nope. Not so. Not true. Not in our area anyway.
The first quarter of 2008 is already complete (where in the heck did that time go?) and the stats are in. Here are some highlights from the residential market data taken from our Georgian Triangle (Ontario) Real Estate Board Multiple Listings System (MLS®) data:
ListingsThe number of residential listings in the Georgian Triangle areas as a whole is … (1 comments)

local market conditions: The 2008 Georgian Triangle Real Estate Market Is Off To A Good Start - 01/22/08 01:42 PM
Let's face it, at this point in the year, predicting sales trends is like predicting the winner of a horse race. Nonetheless. with just three weeks having passed since we left the post, it's fun to see which areas are off to the fastest start.
As a reminder, the Georgian Triangle area includes Collingwood, Wasaga Beach, Clearview, Town of the Blue Mountains, Meaford and Grey Highlands and, all MLS® data and/or statistics have been obtained only from the Georgian Triangle Real Estate Board.
As of January 18th, there have been six condo units sold in the Georgian Triangle in 2008 which is exactly … (0 comments)

The MLS® statistics from the Georgian Triangle Real Estate Board for the first eight months of 2007 are in and sales volumes continue to exceed 2006 levels as expected. After a slower than normal start to the year from January to March, sales activity climbed steadily through the spring and summer with the number of unit sales now up more than 13% over last year with the total dollar volume values up more than 17% overall.
While the number of expired listings (properties that did not sell during their listing period) are up by about 10%, the total number of properties … (0 comments)
