Collingwood-Blue Mtns Snapshot – Q2 2026 in Review
The noticeable March ’26 uptick in activity in these areas continued with all areas and most types of homes up in volume of sales. Values, however, differed greatly by area and type of home (details below). In all areas and home types, the pace picked up and properties averaged shorter days on market. Each month averaged 371 new listings for sale but only averaged 90 of them selling, so we remain firmly in a market where Buyers have a ton of choice and the upper hand.
What might the future hold? … Summarizing three national measurements of Consumer Confidence, as of late June 2026, overall confidence was weak-to-moderately negative across Q2, showing some volatility, generally remaining subdued amid economic pressures like the technical recession, inflation concerns (including food & energy prices), U.S. tariffs/trade tensions, and geopolitical factors (ie: U.S.-Iran conflict impacts). Lower confidence correlates with caution on big-ticket purchases and discretionary spending. It bears repeating that the continuing levels of moderate activity we are experiencing will not change until consumer confidence increases. The Foch article attached reiterates this clearly. So … what to do in a strong Buyers’ market? – Sellers may do all possible to present their property in its most appealing manner and price it aggressively to compete against other properties, and Buyers may take advantage of the vast amount of choice and lack of competition from the Buyers sitting on the sidelines for the purchase they desire.
