Attention Collingwood Condo Buyers and Sellers!!!... Even though Collingwood real estate prices have dropped about 15% to 20% since September 2006 and sales have slowed to a crawl, it appears that current Collingwood condo price levels have been relatively stable for approximately the past 6 months.
Current sales-to-new-listings ratios indicate that WE ARE DEFINITELY IN A BUYERS MARKET, LIST TO SELL.
AS YOUR REPRESENTATIVE my goal is to obtain the best price for your property when selling and to find you the best property, in the best location, for the best price when buying.
I have been selling Collingwood real estate since the bottom of the previous boom (which topped out in 1990 and bottomed out in 1995) and I'm starting to see a repeat of the 1995 trough. BUY LOW, BUY NOW while supply is high and demand is low.
The sales-to-new-listings ratio measures the balance between demand and supply. A ratio of above 55 to 60 percent for a sustained period of time points to the seller's market conditions. A ratio below 55 percent is consistent with more balanced market conditions. A BUYER'S MARKET represents a downward trend in real estate sales and a sales-to-new-listing ratio of below 35 percent.
To review compiled statistical listings and sales data for 2007/2008 as provided by the Georgian Triangle Real Estate Board, Click here. I have removed the total dollar volumes from these statistics as the amounts are totally askew and do not realistically represent values of properties in a specific residential area (e.g. Cranberry Village). DO NOT let anybody tell you that property values are rising just because total dollar volume for a specific month went up as it's just not true.
As of the end of October 2008, annual GTREB statistics are reporting a total sales-to-new-listings ratio of: 30.86%
