As the summer real estate season rolls on, one region is proving to be a bright spot in an otherwise shifting Ontario market — Simcoe County.
While the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) has seen steeper price drops and a surge in inventory, Simcoe County remains far more stable, with modest adjustments and continued demand. For buyers and sellers alike, understanding this contrast could be the key to making smart real estate decisions this season.
Let’s break down how Simcoe compares to the GTA:
New listings are up 15.5% year-over-year, offering buyers more options and breathing room.
Average sale price is down just 4.7%, now sitting at $828,459 — a softer decline than other markets.
Homes are still moving quickly when priced right, especially in sought-after neighbourhoods.
Active listings are up 31% year-over-year, creating more competition and longer days on market.
Average sale price has dropped 5.4%, now at $1,101,691 — a steeper fall than Simcoe County.
If you're a buyer, Simcoe County offers more choice, less competition, and better value than many surrounding regions. You're not only more likely to find a home in your budget, but you also have more room to negotiate, thanks to increased supply.
If you're selling, the market is still moving — particularly for well-priced homes with strong presentation and marketing. In a shifting landscape, pricing strategy and local expertise matter more than ever.
With increased affordability, greater housing options, and a slower rate of decline than the GTA, Simcoe County has become a standout market this summer. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, looking to invest, or planning a future move, this is a region to watch.
The combination of price stability and active listings means that buyers can still find value — without facing the intense bidding wars of previous years.
Whether you're considering buying, selling, or just staying informed, understanding local trends is the first step toward making a smart real estate move. Let’s connect for a quick market update — customized to your area, your goals, and what’s happening now.
