Overall, MLS® unit sales activity reported through the Georgian Triangle Association of REALTORS® (which includes the municipalities of Collingwood, Wasaga Beach, Clearview, The Blue Mountains, Grey Highlands and Meaford) in 2012 totalled $571.9 million reflecting a 4.5% increase over 2011 sales of $547.5 million. A total of 1,953 properties changed hands in 2012 versus 1,866 in 2011, an increase of 4.7%. Sales in virtually all price ranges increased in 2012 with the exception of sales over $1 million, which reflected a 10.3% decrease for properties valued over $1 million sold in 2011.
The Municipality of Grey Highlands and Wasaga Beach showed the strongest demand for residential homes with 2012 MLS® sales activity up 59.7% and 10.4% respectively, versus 2011. The Town of Collingwood and the Municipality of Meaford had significant increases in MLS® sales activity in 2012, up 9.2% and 9.1% respectively, versus 2011. Residential sales in the Blue Mountains for 2012 were up a modest 3.9% over 2011 figures, whereas MLS® residential sales activity in the Township of Clearview was down 14.2% in 2012 versus 2011.
Slower sales activity in November and December resulted in total 4th quarter sales being 4.6% lower than 4th quarter of 2011. The month of October 2012 was the strongest listings and sales month of the 4th quarter, with 530 new MLS® listings, and 217 sales. Unit sales below $250,000 totalled 210 in the 4th quarter of 2012 marking a 12.1% decrease over 4th quarter 2011 results; in the $250,000 - $499,999 price range, 4th quarter sales of 170 properties represented a decrease of 4.0% over the 4th quarter of 2011. In the $500,000 - $999,999 price range, 4th quarter sales of 51 properties reflected a remarkable 45.7% increase in this price range for 2012, compared to the 35 properties sold in the 4th quarter of 2011. Lastly, sales activity in the $1-million plus price range during the 4th quarter of 2012 totalled 4 properties, compared to the 5 homes sold over $1-million in the 4th quarter of 2011.
The number of new MLS® listings during the 4th quarter of 2012 totalled 1,208 units, down 1.4% from the 4th quarter of 2011. The number of expired listings for 2012 totalled 3,276 properties, up 2.2% over last year. Fourth quarter statistics reflect the fact that approximately 1 in every 4 houses listed for sale, actually sell.
While market conditions are expected to remain stable in the 2013, consumers are encouraged to consult a local REALTOR® to obtain a qualified evaluation of their home or to obtain other in-depth market information before making any crucial buying or selling decisions.
