The September market report is up, and this month the numbers finally agree with each other.
In July the average selling price across Simcoe County was down 8.8% while the benchmark price, which adjusts for the type and size of home that sold, was down 5.4%. I said at the time that the headline overstated it. August settles it: the average is down 6.2% and the benchmark is down 5.83%, at $775,100. Prices have repriced by roughly 6%, steadily, and not by 9%.
The more interesting number is supply. New listings fell 11.7% in August while sales held. That is two months in a row of double digit declines in new listings, and standing inventory is down 6.3% from a year ago.
Underneath the county figure, there are really two markets. Barrie, Orillia and Midland are running 4.6 to 5.7 months of inventory at 96% to 98% of list price. On the water, Tiny and Ramara are at 8.8 and 10.1 months, selling at 92% to 95%. Same county, completely different jobs when it comes to pricing a home.
The full report has the municipality by municipality table, the rate picture as of this week, and what I am telling clients heading into the autumn window.
