Your Spring Market Update: What’s Really Happening in Simcoe and York Region

At Faris Team, we know how important it is to stay informed—especially when the market starts to shift. Spring is always a big season for real estate, and this year is no different.

The latest data from the Barrie & District Association of REALTORS® (BDAR) shows a market that’s active, balanced, and full of potential—for both buyers and sellers.

Here’s a closer look at what we’re seeing in Simcoe County and York Region—and what it means for you.


Simcoe County: Steady, Competitive, and Full of Opportunity

Homes are moving. Prices are holding. And motivated buyers are out there, ready to act.

Key Stats from May 2025:

  • Average Sale Price: $808,714

  • Units Sold: 530

  • Average Days on Market: 23

  • Months of Inventory: 2.7 (a seller’s advantage!)

What this means: Well-priced homes are selling quickly, especially in communities like Barrie, Orillia, Innisfil, and Essa. We’re seeing strong activity from first-time buyers, upsizers, and families relocating from the GTA.

Our Insights:

If you're thinking about selling in Simcoe, this could be the sweet spot. Low inventory means your home stands out more—and competitive pricing is helping sellers get great results.


York Region: Still Leading the Pack in Price & Demand

The luxury market is holding strong, especially for move-in-ready detached homes in Aurora, Newmarket, Vaughan, and Richmond Hill.

Average Sale Price (May 2025): $1,262,261

Even with higher price points, homes are selling. Buyers here know what they want—and when it’s staged and marketed properly, they’re jumping on it.

Our Insights:

If you’re selling in York, make sure your home is presented at its absolute best. In a premium market, details matter. We can help with complimentary staging, professional photography, and marketing that drives results.


What We’re Seeing on the Ground Right Now

At Faris Team, we’re in homes, showings, and negotiations every single day—and here’s what we’re noticing:

✔️ Homes that are clean, staged, and priced right are getting multiple offers ✔️ Inventory is tight, especially under the $1M mark in Simcoe ✔️ Buyers are more prepared—with pre-approvals in hand and quicker timelines ✔️ Sellers are gaining confidence as deals move faster than earlier this year


Every Move Makes a Difference!

In just the last month, Faris Team helped 96 families buy or sell their homes. That means $9,600 donated to local charities through our Faris Cares program.

It’s something we’re incredibly proud of—because real estate isn’t just about transactions. It’s about serving people and giving back to the communities we call home.
