THERE’S the Apple Pie Trail, Cedar Run Horse Park’snumerous activities including the Chili Ribfest in July, theHunter Jumper Classic also in July and Rodeo Weekend inAugust. And, then there is Blue Mountain Village with activ-ities every weekend. The new Ridge Runner, which is ablast, will be open from 10 am to 8 pm until September 5th!

Despite a remarkably wet, cool, and miserable spring in theGeorgian Triangle, the statistics published by the GeorgianTriangle Real Estate Board for the month paint a much sun-nier and rosier picture for the real estate market than wasexperienced meteorologically. In fact, the numbers show agrowing monthly trend of declining negative year overyear variances in the number of properties sold in the areathis year compared to the banner spring season of 2010. Inparticular 183 properties sold in the Georgian Triangle inMay compared to 193 in May of 2010. That breaks downto 5% fewer sales than one year ago, but comparesfavourably to the 19% and 22% year over year decreasesrecorded in April and March of this year, respectively. Inaddition and consistent with seasonal norms, it marks thefourth consecutive increase in monthly sales as comparedto the previous month with sales surpassing those in April byover 8%. Moreover, sales in May exceeded the numbersrecorded in May 2009 by over 9.5%. Year to date, salestrail last year by 14 per cent with 753 properties sold com-pared to 877 sold by this time last year. The dollar volumepicture is not remarkably different from the number of unitssold at least on a monthly basis, with dollar volume down7.5 percent compared to last year. YTD dollar volume is$220,534,441 [722 units] compared to $238,590,763in 2010 [845 units] and $153,282,324 in 2009 [618units]. Year to date numbers have declined by a slightlysmaller measure of 3.5% reflecting the stronger perform-ance in the higher end market, particularly over the first halfof this year. In fact, sales above the $800,000 level contin-ue to outpace last year’s numbers by 39 per cent with 25sales above that price this year compared to 18 in 2010 bythis time.The 38 sales between $500,000 and $799,999,compared to 41 in 2010.

Seven properties sold in the $800,000 to $999,999range versus four last year, a 75 per cent increase. Twelveproperties were sold over $1 million, with two over $2.75million, historically high for the Georgian Triangle RealEstate Board. This compares to ten over $1 million in 2010.An intriguing fact of the sales statistics is the number ofwaterfront properties that have sold in the middle of winter!The Blue Mountains saw a 12 per cent decrease in unitsales but a 16 per cent increase in average price and a 2.6

per cent increase in dollar volume. However, these figuresreflect well over $18 million recent sales of high end prop-erties. Sales numbers declined in all categories below$500,000 which may be attributed to the tightened mort-gage regulations, a decrease of 16 per cent from last year.There are currently 77 properties priced over $1 million onthe market in this area, 25 over $2 million.

The ongoing stability and strength in the Georgian Trianglereal estate market appears to have inspired consumer con-fidence in the market translating into an increased numberof listings. 701 new properties came onto the market inMay virtually parallel to the 697 new listings for May of lastyear, a welcome reversal in the trend of negative annualvariance in new listings experienced in recent months. Yearto date, however the Georgian Triangle still has 2.5%fewer new listings this year compared to last year at thistime. Consistent with these numbers inventory is up 12%over April with 2458 active listings compared to 2189 lastmonth, but still 3% below last year when 2543 active list-ings were on the market in May. Recently, significant cover-age has been given in the media to the rising cost of hous-ing and impending affordability pressures on the consumerparticularly in major urban markets, most notablyVancouver and to a somewhat lesser extent Toronto. TheGeorgian Triangle area has not experienced the sameinventory shortages and frenetic sales spikes which havebeen the source of market analysts’ concerns. In contrast,the Georgian Triangle real estate market has proven to beless volatile with average price performance falling in linewith a strong but stable market coming in at a more sustain-able 4.6% increase over last year on a year to date basis at$327,032 compared to $312,632.

In fact, the average sale price for residential single familyproperties this month actually came in 2% lower than May oflast year, specifically $318,783 compared to $325,714. Infact, the average sale price for residential single family prop-erties this month actually came in 2% lower than May of lastyear, specifically $318,783 compared to $325,714.

It should be noted, however, that measured over a 12 monthperiod, the average sale price for residential single familyhomes has still gone up 7%. As stated, despite the unseason-ably cool and slow start to the spring, the Georgian Trianglereal estate market has proven to be remarkably resilient andstable, particularly when compared to some of the otherrecreational real estate markets across the Province whichare experiencing a significant drop in sales compared to lastyear. ☛

That may be attributable to the more diversified and varied nature of theGeorgian Triangle demographic and property market, and bodes well forthe strength and ongoing sustainability of this market in the months and yearsto come. In any event, it is noteworthy that market commentators are callingfor a generally healthy recreational property market this season based onthe surge in high end sales in the urban markets as well as increased confi-dence in the economy.

As reported in the media, an overwhelming majority of Canadians who haveeither purchased or who intend to buy recreational properties in the comingyear believe that buying a vacation home is a good long-term investment. Asthe economy shakes off the remnants of the recession and enters recoverymode, consumer confidence has been stoked. The impact is being seen in thedemand for all things luxury from homes to cars, collectables and fine wines!To reiterate previous communiqués, the introduction of HST mid 2010impacted significant sales in 2010 and tightening of mortgage regulationsand speculation that interest rates will rise has brought forward some salesactivity in the first quarter of 2011. As the Canadian Real Estate Associationchief economist, Gregory Klump has stated “Continuing job growth willunderpin housing demand, keeping the housing market in balance and sta-bilizing home prices.”

And, the market is cautiously optimistic, as first-time buyers enter the market.Affordability remains a growing concern and no one is more conscious ofthat than municipal planners. Affordability is breathing new life into olderneighbours where buyers are prepared to make extensive renovations.

The most significant activity was in the high end market. The 38 salesbetween $500,000 and $799,999, compared to 41 in 2010. Sevenproperties sold in the $800,000 to $999,999 range versus four last year,a 75 per cent increase. Twelve properties were sold over $1 million, withtwo over $2.75 million, historically high for the Georgian Triangle RealEstate Board. This compares to ten over $1 million in 2010. An intriguingfact of the sales statistics is the number of waterfront properties that havesold in the middle of winter! The dollar volume is also on pace with 2010which can be attributed to the number of high end sales.

COLLINGWOOD - Construction values to the end of May are$40,946,975 versus $17,939,543 for the same period last year. Themajor permits in May were the new Shopper’s Drug Mart store on FirstStreet and 10 Townhouses in Silver Glen Preserve. Collingwood is hikingits building permit fee 64 per cent, a fee that has not been increased since2001. Residential permit fees will increase from 55cents per square foot to85 cents per square foot. Permits for decks will increase to $100 from $75.On top of that Simcoe County is increasing its development charges! TheBalmoral Adult Lifestyle Village project on the old Cranberry driving rangenow has a website www.balmoralvillagecollingwood.com. The goal is to provide adiverse range of housing options for the adult lifestyle. Go to the websitefor the proposed village concept.

The Blue Mountains - Construction values for the Blue Mountainsreached $17,845,740 versus $26,656,744 in 2010 and $18,931,073in 2009. The town is looking for the public’s input in preparing the OfficialPlan Review and held its first public workshop in June. Blue Mountain resi-dents could see an 8.2 per cent annual increase in water rates. BM councilhas approved the hike and is now being sent to the Ontario Ministry ofMunicipal Affairs and Housing and the Ministry of Environment, a require-ment for the town’s municipal water license. The rate hike will help build upwater services reserves to replace and upgrade infrastructure when theneed arises. Thanks to the Blue W programme, people can now fill waterbottles in the The Blue Mountains wherever you find restaurants, businessesand town facilities with a Blue W decal in the window. Building commencedon Thornbury’s Community Family Health Centre in April and constructionhas gone at a record pace.Occupancy is anticipated for September 2011. There are three projects currently going through the “process” whichincludes public meetings to allow the community to respond- Terrasan inCraigleith, Georgian Gate, a mega project at the corner of Mountain Roadand Osler Bluff Road with a total area of 54.43 hectares and a Telfer devel-opment on a 10-acre property on Napier Street. ☛

Terrasan has received approval for an Official Plan and Zoning By-lawAmendments. The next step is for the proponent to file applications for amaster plan development agreement and plan of subdivision. A publicmeeting has been held for the Telfer Lifestyle Village development that isproposing a 97-unit adult lifestyle village and the comments received arebeing reviewed with the developer. A further public meeting will be heldonce the town has received a revised development proposal. The pro-posed Georgian Gate development is for a maximum of 747 residentialdwelling units, a community park, commercial uses, a private recreationalblock, open space and natural environmental areas. Details can be foundon the Blue Mountains website. A public open house and statutory publicmeeting was held earlier this spring with lots of input from the public andcommenting agencies. The parties-the owner, Grey County, the municipalrepresentatives, Niagara Escarpment Commission and NottawasagaConservation Authority are in discussions in terms of required modificationsto the proposal.

Meaford - Meaford’s catchy new marketing slogan and advertising blitz“Meaford…the other big apple”, has caught the buzz…without the bustle!Meaford is described as “New York’s laid-back country cousin”!

Construction values YTD have totaled $3,466,100. Key projects are theLegion development, named Royal Manor, with 54 apartment style lifelease units and new Legion facilities on the ground floor. The municipalityhas received applications for the Old Garden Centre project on the westside of Meaford with the potential of 373 units with the potential of 373 res-idential units including a proposed seniors’ home. Gates of Kent has takenout permit for next group of buildings. The 89-unit project will proceed witha phased in approach. Permits are also now available for the ColemanStreet subdivision. A new industrial building geared to small service industri-al activities is being constructed by Applevale in the industrial park. A short-age of affordable, mid-range family homes in Meaford has become partic-ularly tough on military families moving to the area. Real Estate agents andmunicipal planning officials feel it is essential to convey this to developersand some of the new developments will relieve this issue.

What’s New! - It takes watchful eyes to figure out who are opening newbusinesses! Thornbury has a host of new restaurants- Simplicity Bistro in theformer Sterio’s premises, a refurbished Mill Restaurant, Ruffed Grouse Bistroin the Beaver Motel, and the Bruce Wine Bar. Once known as a destinationfor interior design, the tiny village is attracting gourmands from throughoutthe area! In Collingwood, the Tremont Café is getting great reviews, theDavid Hillis Salon has opened on Hume Street, 97.7 The Beach radio sta-tion has repositioned itself in the former Peak FM building on Highway 26,and both the Blue Mountain Vacuum and Camera Source on Hurontariohave new owners. Big Bear has opened on Hurontario Street next to MindsAlive and the Artist’s Den is new to Simcoe Street.Unfortunately both CottonGinny and Tabi have closed their premises in the Temple Building and thespace is currently for rent. Blockbuster is also closing. Perhaps the greatestnews for the local economy is the reopening of Barber Glass. RichardWilson and an investment partner, a Caledon resident, have purchased theequipment used to manufacture architectural glass and plan to reopen theplant shortly, hiring 50 people initially and up to 150 in the next three years.This is terrific news for Collingwood. Georgian College is only three monthsaway from finally having a home in the Georgian Triangle. The campus willcontain nine classrooms, two computer labs, an “e-lab” a multi-functionhealth sciences lab, a student lounge and community room. Blue MountainResorts recently donated $100,000 to the college. |E|

Royal LePage Collingwood would like to thank all of our friends, clients and community members who donated to help this great eventbe such a success. We couldn't have done it without such great support from the community. On May 14th, 2011, Royal LePage held its annual Nation wide garage sale for the Shelter Foundation providing funding for women's shelters and violence prevention. In space

generously donated by Cranberry Mews, we raised over $3,000 at our sale alone, contributing to a record setting event that raised over$400,000 to support this great cause that helps women and children across the country. Sincere thank you to all who helped make

this huge event a huge success, and let's aim to make 2012 even better! Contact us for details on how you can help.
