WATERFRONT Between mid-March and end of April waterfront sales slumped as expected. Prudent brokerages took an "essential only" approach to business and sellers that did not have to sell were encouraged to wait. By June the floodgates opened resulting in an 112% increase in year over year June sales
Market Snapshot
for Muskoka.
NORTH MUSKOKA Waterfront in the Huntsville and Lake of Bays area led the charge in June. After recording 1 sale by early May, 17 sales occured on Lake of Bays in June - a high water mark for monthly sales in any year. Determined buyers were prepared to outdo one another in their quest to get their property.
SOUTH MUSKOKA Sales to New Listing ratio for the first 6 months suggest a balanced market but it felt like anything but in June. Historically, even during periods of strong sales, Sales/New List ratios would fall in the 50-60% range. It was 90% in June off the charts.

ALMAGUIN In the context of what was occuring in Muskoka, the Almaguin region was more balanced but all metrics still point to a heated market. The market bounced back earlier than other markets - with 29 sales in May compared to only 12 sales in May 2019. 6 sales over a million dollars had a big impact on average price.

ENTIRE ISLAND ON SPARROW LAKE GRAV E NHU R S T
$605,500
Sparrow Lake - known for its gorgeous sunsets.Beautiful vistas in every direction. This lake is made famous by being part of the Trent Severn Waterway for unlimited boating. It is one of the first lakes settled in Muskoka. Three generations of family have enjoyed this island for the past 60 years. The small cottage is three season, has a newish septic system and takes its water from the lake. Boat port offers extra room. One can almost hear the laughter of small children, climbing over the rocks and paddling in the shallow water at the edge of the lake. Older children will dive in deeper water and ask for permission to take the boat out to fish, which is another claim to fame for Sparrow Lake. Paradise Falls was filmed on Sparrow, and a lake on one of the moons of Saturn was named after it. Families hold onto their property here. Jump in while you can. Peruse the virtual tours, pour over the pictures, and make your decision. Fitton (Indian) Island awaits you.
