Slow and steady . . . that’s how local real estate agents are describing the property market in Southern Georgian Bay as it gradually continues to become balanced, driven by a demand for a 4-seasonal recreational lifestyles, along with the number of retirees, empty nesters and young families wanting to own their own piece of paradise.
While the market in Toronto is improving at a rapid rate, the local market is experiencing a steadier and slower growth. Why? Well, buying here is discretionary – people looking for second homes, and those wanting to retire in the Georgian Bay, do not have to buy. They can afford to take the wait-and-see attitude or hang on until the right home comes along at the right price.
However, local real estate agents are seeing a growing trend towards young families moving here, thanks to a fresh take on the “3 Ls”: Lifestyle, Lifestyle and Lifestyle.
Since a big part of the market is fuelled by discretionary buying, it can be said that the improved economic outlook is generally having a positive effect on the local property market. A lot of people want to buy up here; they don’t have to. Before they make a major decision like that, they consider other factors such as their RRSPs and stock holdings.
