šŸ“Š MARKET UPDATE

There are currently 79 active, 4-season, residential listings on Manitoulin Island.

But one number only tells part of the story.

Context matters.

Of those 79 active listings:
• 52 are priced above $499,000
• 4 are not currently move-in ready and would require significant renovation or redevelopment

When you look beyond the headline number, the market can tell a very different story.

Stay tuned as we break down more local market statistics and put them into context, helping you better understand what's really happening in the Manitoulin real estate market.

šŸ“¢ Monday Market Update | Manitoulin – May 2025

šŸ” There are currently just 7 year-round homes listed on Manitoulin under $300,000.

Depending on your perspective, that could feel discouraging—or incredibly motivating. Here's the silver lining:

āœ”ļø Sellers: If you own a well-maintained home in this range, limited inventory could mean stronger interest and quicker offers.
āœ”ļø Buyers: If this is your price point, now’s the time to get prepared. Talk to your realtor, get your financing in order, and be ready to move when the right home appears.

šŸ”‘ The key? Don’t wait—because when opportunity knocks in this market, it moves fast.

āš–ļø Let’s Talk About Dual Representation
🚫 MYTH: ā€œIt’s fine if one Realtor represents both the buyer and seller—I’ll still get the same level of service.ā€
āœ… FACT: When the same brokerage (or agent) represents both parties, they can no longer give advice on price, offer strategy, or negotiation terms.
This means you lose one of the most important parts of working with a Realtor: someone fully advocating for you.

And here's something many don’t realize:
🚫 It is illegal for a Realtor to offer multiple representation if one of the parties is an immediate family member (like a parent, spouse, sibling or child). In that case, it’s a clear conflict of interest.

šŸ’” Full representation = full protection. Don’t be afraid to ask your Realtor how they handle these situations and what your options are.
