During the year to December 31st, 2017, the market experienced an extreme shortage of listings with
only 69 new waterfront residential properties & 52 sales resulting in a sale to list ratio of 75.36%. In
2016 there were a total of 92 new properties listed & 65 sales with a sales to list ratio of 70.65%. Both
2017 & 2016 indicated a Sellers Market.
In a seller’s market, there are fewer available properties for sale to a larger pool of buyers with the
majority relocating from the Golden Triangle area of Ontario.
The advantage goes to the seller in a seller’s market – typically home prices will rise as buyers are
quick to make an offer to secure the property; sometimes buyers will compete for a property, driving
the price above expectations. This was experienced in the Spring of 2017 because of the inflated
market in the GTA.
