It's Beginning To Feel A Lot Like Christmas!
Hope everyone got there outside chores done before the snow came because winter has come! Always fun those first few times we get back to driving in the snow and remembering the seasonal rules for driving with the slicker roads. We got you covered with some safe winter driving tips in an article below. Don't forget to purchase local when looking for Christmas gifts this year as the local businesses need our continued support to come back stronger than ever. Have a great December and good luck with preparing for Christmas and the holidays!
Garrett got the drone out for some different angles of the Grand Bend hedges down by the marina. Check them out below.
We are never far from our phones if you want to discuss the market so feel free to call us anytime at 519-238-5700. |

Re/MAX Canadian Housing Market
Outlook 2022
RE/MAX brokers and agents in Canada were asked to provide an analysis of their local market in 2021 and share their estimated outlook for 2022. Based on their insights, 95 per cent of housing markets in Canada are expected to be seller’s markets, impacted by limited housing supply and high demand. According to the RE/MAX broker network in Ontario, market activity across the province is anticipated to remain steady in 2022, with continued average price growth, although at widely varying degrees. RE/ MAX brokers anticipate average sale price increases in smaller markets such as North Bay (four per cent); Sudbury (five per cent); Thunder Bay (10 per cent); Collingwood/Georgian Bay (10 per cent); and Muskoka (20 per cent), where the move-over trend has remained strong. Meanwhile, in larger markets within the province, there’s a possibility that more immigration could weigh on supply levels and prices, including Ottawa (five per cent); Durham (seven per cent); Brampton (eight per cent); Toronto (10 per cent); Mississauga (14 per cent). When it comes to price appreciation year-overyear, there are a few regions that stood out in 2021 for their exponential increases across all property types, including Brampton, which rose from $869,107 in 2020 to $1,085,417 in 2021 (25 per cent); Durham from $706,818 in 2020 to $914,48 in 2021 (29 per cent); and London from $487,500 in 2020 to $633,700 in 2021 (30 per cent). In comparison, Toronto experienced a modest seven-per-cent increase year-over-year ($986,085 in 2020 to $1,054,922 in 2021).Read the full article by clicking the link: http://download.remax.ca/PR/2022CanadianHousingMarketOutlookReport_FULL.pdf
