It is no secret that real estate markets have slowed considerably with the advent of high interest rates and the sluggish

The Southern Georgian Bay market had a 95% sale/list price ratio in January.

Lastly, the month’s 36% sales/listings ratio indicates a buyers’ market possibly trending towards balance.

When asked to predict the future, a physician client of ours said her crystal ball is on order, but shipping’s been delayed by COVID. So, we are looking back … the first week of the 2nd Quarter was the third week under Provincial Emergency ordered LockDown.
