Well, how about that! You’ve scrimped and saved; you’ve paid your dues. You’re finally ready to buy your country dream home in the beautiful Georgian Triangle area. It’s private, remote and a naturelover’s paradise…and it is on well and septic. Buying in the country is not the same as buying in the city. Confusing? A little, but Jack can help! You see, Jack’s a local REALTOR® and he knows how to navigate through water potability tests, septic pumping, UV filters, and health unit hours. He knows just how far apart your well and septic should be, and what to do if there is coliform in the well water. Best of all, Jack can help you negotiate a contract that will hold water, which also considers the unique issues involved in a rural property purchase.

WAT C H
MARKET
AN INTERESTING THING HAPPENED IN THE GEORGIAN TRIANGLE THIS YEAR! OUR SALES BLOS-
SOMED. PERHAPS IT IS BECAUSE WE ARE TRULY FOUR SEASONS WITH THE GOLF CLUBS, SAILING, HIKING, MOUNTAIN BIKING, CYCLING, GOOD HEALTH CARE, CULTURE AND PLENTY OF THINGS TO DO IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. ANOTHER BONUS IS ALL THE ACTIVITIES... THERE’S the Apple Pie Trail, Cedar Run Horse Park’s numerous activities including the Chili Ribfest in July, the Hunter Jumper Classic also in July and Rodeo Weekend in August. And, then there is Blue Mountain Village with activities every weekend. The new Ridge Runner, which is a blast, will be open from 10 am to 8 pm until September 5th! Despite a remarkably wet, cool, and miserable spring in the Georgian Triangle, the statistics published by the Georgian Triangle Real Estate Board for the month paint a much sunnier and rosier picture for the real estate market than was experienced meteorologically. In fact, the numbers show a growing monthly trend of declining negative year over year variances in the number of properties sold in the area this year compared to the banner spring season of 2010. In particular 183 properties sold in the Georgian Triangle in May compared to 193 in May of 2010. That breaks down to 5% fewer sales than one year ago, but compares favourably to the 19% and 22% year over year decreases recorded in April and March of this year, respectively. In addition and consistent with seasonal norms, it marks the fourth consecutive increase in monthly sales as compared to the previous month with sales surpassing those in April by over 8%. Moreover, sales in May exceeded the numbers recorded in May 2009 by over 9.5%. Year to date, sales trail last year by 14 per cent with 753 properties sold compared to 877 sold by this time last year. The dollar volume picture is not remarkably different from the number of units sold at least on a monthly basis, with dollar volume down 7.5 percent compared to last year. YTD dollar volume is $220,534,441 [722 units] compared to $238,590,763 in 2010 [845 units] and $153,282,324 in 2009 [618 units]. Year to date numbers have declined by a slightly smaller measure of 3.5% reflecting the stronger performance in the higher end market, particularly over the first half of this year. In fact, sales above the $800,000 level continue to outpace last year’s numbers by 39 per cent with 25 sales above that price this year compared to 18 in 2010 by this time.The 38 sales between $500,000 and $799,999, compared to 41 in 2010. Seven properties 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, with two over $2.75 million, historically high for the Georgian Triangle Real Estate Board. This compares to ten over $1 million in 2010. BY ANTHEA WHITE An intriguing fact of the sales statistics is the number of waterfront properties that have sold in the middle of winter! The Blue Mountains saw a 12 per cent decrease in unit sales but a 16 per cent increase in average price and a 2.6 128

per cent increase in dollar volume. However, these figures reflect well over $18 million recent sales of high end properties. Sales numbers declined in all categories below $500,000 which may be attributed to the tightened mortgage regulations, a decrease of 16 per cent from last year. There are currently 77 properties priced over $1 million on the market in this area, 25 over $2 million. The ongoing stability and strength in the Georgian Triangle real estate market appears to have inspired consumer confidence in the market translating into an increased number of listings. 701 new properties came onto the market in May virtually parallel to the 697 new listings for May of last year, a welcome reversal in the trend of negative annual variance in new listings experienced in recent months. Year to date, however the Georgian Triangle still has 2.5% fewer new listings this year compared to last year at this time. Consistent with these numbers inventory is up 12% over April with 2458 active listings compared to 2189 last month, but still 3% below last year when 2543 active listings were on the market in May. Recently, significant coverage has been given in the media to the rising cost of housing and impending affordability pressures on the consumer particularly in major urban markets, most notably Vancouver and to a somewhat lesser extent Toronto. The Georgian Triangle area has not experienced the same inventory shortages and frenetic sales spikes which have been the source of market analysts’ concerns. In contrast, the Georgian Triangle real estate market has proven to be less volatile with average price performance falling in line with a strong but stable market coming in at a more sustainable 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 family properties this month actually came in 2% lower than May of last year, specifically $318,783 compared to $325,714. In fact, the average sale price for residential single family properties this month actually came in 2% lower than May of last year, specifically $318,783 compared to $325,714. It should be noted, however, that measured over a 12 month period, the average sale price for residential single family homes has still gone up 7%. As stated, despite the unseasonably cool and slow start to the spring, the Georgian Triangle real estate market has proven to be remarkably resilient and stable, particularly when compared to some of the other recreational real estate markets across the Province which are experiencing a significant drop in sales compared to last year. ☛
That may be attributable to the more diversified and varied nature of the Georgian Triangle demographic and property market, and bodes well for the strength and ongoing sustainability of this market in the months and years to come. In any event, it is noteworthy that market commentators are calling for a generally healthy recreational property market this season based on the surge in high end sales in the urban markets as well as increased confidence in the economy. As reported in the media, an overwhelming majority of Canadians who have either purchased or who intend to buy recreational properties in the coming year believe that buying a vacation home is a good long-term investment. As the economy shakes off the remnants of the recession and enters recovery mode, consumer confidence has been stoked. The impact is being seen in the demand for all things luxury from homes to cars, collectables and fine wines! To reiterate previous communiqués, the introduction of HST mid 2010 impacted significant sales in 2010 and tightening of mortgage regulations and speculation that interest rates will rise has brought forward some sales activity in the first quarter of 2011. As the Canadian Real Estate Association chief economist, Gregory Klump has stated “Continuing job growth will underpin housing demand, keeping the housing market in balance and stabilizing 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 of that than municipal planners. Affordability is breathing new life into older neighbours where buyers are prepared to make extensive renovations. The most significant activity was in the high end market. The 38 sales between $500,000 and $799,999, compared to 41 in 2010. Seven properties 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, with two over $2.75 million, historically high for the Georgian Triangle Real Estate Board. This compares to ten over $1 million in 2010. An intriguing fact of the sales statistics is the number of waterfront properties that have sold in the middle of winter! The dollar volume is also on pace with 2010 which 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. The major permits in May were the new Shopper’s Drug Mart store on First Street and 10 Townhouses in Silver Glen Preserve. Collingwood is hiking its building permit fee 64 per cent, a fee that has not been increased since 2001. Residential permit fees will increase from 55cents per square foot to 85 cents per square foot. Permits for decks will increase to $100 from $75. On top of that Simcoe County is increasing its development charges! The Balmoral Adult Lifestyle Village project on the old Cranberry driving range now has a website www.balmoralvillagecollingwood.com. The goal is to provide a diverse range of housing options for the adult lifestyle. Go to the website for the proposed village concept. The Blue Mountains - Construction values for the Blue Mountains reached $17,845,740 versus $26,656,744 in 2010 and $18,931,073 in 2009. The town is looking for the public’s input in preparing the Official Plan Review and held its first public workshop in June. Blue Mountain residents could see an 8.2 per cent annual increase in water rates. BM council has approved the hike and is now being sent to the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing and the Ministry of Environment, a requirement for the town’s municipal water license. The rate hike will help build up water services reserves to replace and upgrade infrastructure when the need arises. Thanks to the Blue W programme, people can now fill water bottles in the The Blue Mountains wherever you find restaurants, businesses and town facilities with a Blue W decal in the window. Building commenced on Thornbury’s Community Family Health Centre in April and construction has gone at a record pace.Occupancy is anticipated for September 2011. There are three projects currently going through the “process” which includes public meetings to allow the community to respond- Terrasan in Craigleith, Georgian Gate, a mega project at the corner of Mountain Road and Osler Bluff Road with a total area of 54.43 hectares and a Telfer development on a 10-acre property on Napier Street. ☛

REAL ESTATE | marketwatch Terrasan has received approval for an Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments. The next step is for the proponent to file applications for a master plan development agreement and plan of subdivision. A public meeting has been held for the Telfer Lifestyle Village development that is proposing a 97-unit adult lifestyle village and the comments received are being reviewed with the developer. A further public meeting will be held once the town has received a revised development proposal. The proposed Georgian Gate development is for a maximum of 747 residential dwelling units, a community park, commercial uses, a private recreational block, open space and natural environmental areas. Details can be found on the Blue Mountains website. A public open house and statutory public meeting was held earlier this spring with lots of input from the public and commenting agencies. The parties-the owner, Grey County, the municipal representatives, Niagara Escarpment Commission and Nottawasaga Conservation Authority are in discussions in terms of required modifications to 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 the Legion development, named Royal Manor, with 54 apartment style life lease units and new Legion facilities on the ground floor. The municipality has received applications for the Old Garden Centre project on the west side of Meaford with the potential of 373 units with the potential of 373 residential units including a proposed seniors’ home. Gates of Kent has taken out permit for next group of buildings. The 89-unit project will proceed with a phased in approach. Permits are also now available for the Coleman Street subdivision. A new industrial building geared to small service industrial activities is being constructed by Applevale in the industrial park. A shortage of affordable, mid-range family homes in Meaford has become particularly tough on military families moving to the area. Real Estate agents and municipal planning officials feel it is essential to convey this to developers and some of the new developments will relieve this issue.
THE
ONGOING
STABILITY
AND
STRENGTH IN THE GEORGIAN TRIANGLE REAL ESTATE MARKET APPEARS TO HAVE INSPIRED CONSUMER CONFIDENCE IN THE MARKET TRANSLATING INTO AN INCREASED NUMBER OF LISTINGS. What’s New! - It takes watchful eyes to figure out who are opening new businesses! Thornbury has a host of new restaurants- Simplicity Bistro in the former Sterio’s premises, a refurbished Mill Restaurant, Ruffed Grouse Bistro in the Beaver Motel, and the Bruce Wine Bar. Once known as a destination for interior design, the tiny village is attracting gourmands from throughout the area! In Collingwood, the Tremont Café is getting great reviews, the David Hillis Salon has opened on Hume Street, 97.7 The Beach radio station has repositioned itself in the former Peak FM building on Highway 26, and both the Blue Mountain Vacuum and Camera Source on Hurontario have new owners. Big Bear has opened on Hurontario Street next to Minds Alive and the Artist’s Den is new to Simcoe Street.Unfortunately both Cotton Ginny and Tabi have closed their premises in the Temple Building and the space is currently for rent. Blockbuster is also closing. Perhaps the greatest news for the local economy is the reopening of Barber Glass. Richard Wilson and an investment partner, a Caledon resident, have purchased the equipment used to manufacture architectural glass and plan to reopen the plant 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 months away from finally having a home in the Georgian Triangle. The campus will contain nine classrooms, two computer labs, an “e-lab” a multi-function health sciences lab, a student lounge and community room. Blue Mountain Resorts 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 event be 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. *Broker ** Sales Representative
