Q2 Southern Georgian Bay Reports are out!

Interesting to note
* 2021 Year to date sales in dollar amount is up 125%

* 2021 Year to date number of sales in the $1M - $1.499M is up 353% the highest price point of sale change.

***** Year OVER Year sales for June saw a decrease in the number of sales by 12%.

Come and visit for a day, or stay in one of the 70's inspired rooms. Another addition to so many wonderful reasons to visit this four season playground!
