COTTAGE MARKET

WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH THE IN 2023

Written By: JULIE ACHTERMEIER

Cottage prices soared for two years during the covid pandemic and only slowed marginally after The Bank of Canada began hiking interest rates last year. While experts predicted that cottage prices would drop in 2023, the market hasn't su ered but instead shifted from a sellers' market to a more balanced one.

According to the Spring Recreational Property Report, recreational property markets have returned to a more traditional sales pattern. Homebuyers are once again purchasing for leisure, and the days of fleeing the city during the pandemic are in the past. The desire for homebuyers now is to find that secondary property to share with family and enjoy as a vacation destination. Unlike acquiring a principal residence, secondary home buyers often have the benefit of time to find the right property for their family's needs.

The Cottage Market Remains Strong

Early in 2022, the high demand for waterfront properties drove prices up, creating a strong sellers' market. Multiple o ers and a quick turnaround were ideal for sellers but a stressful environment for buyers. In May 2022, cottage sales slowed as interest rates rose and buyers and sellers waited to see where the market would go next. The pause didn't last long, and the market continued full-steam ahead after a small correction.

"Buyers who desire a waterfront property need to act quickly when a property comes on the market," Kayley Spalding of Coldwell Banker Thompson Real Estate Brokerage in Huntsville explains. "Most buyers are looking for a 10-year investment, so waterfront listings come up less often than residential properties."

Along with a more balanced market this year, the volume of inventory is increasing, and

KAYLEY SPALDING

sale prices are holding steady.

Interest Rates Not a Deterrent

Surprisingly, the rise in interest rates did not deter cottage shoppers as much as you might expect. In fact, according to Kayley, the volume has increased by one percent over last year's sales. "Waterfront properties have maintained incredible value," she says. "Sales have been strong throughout 2023, indicating that interest rates have not been a

deterrent for buyers."

In the recreational market, buyers typically put more money down and borrow less, so interest rates become less of a deciding factor than in urban and suburban markets.

Advice for Buyers and Sellers

$1,999,900 round home/cottage on Big Doe Lake, located within the exclusive Northwood Beach Estates community. This newly completed cottage rests on 2 acres, boasts 3,210 sq ft featuring 4 bedrooms, all with their own private ensuite.

Only a finite number of waterfront properties are available in Ontario cottage country, so serious buyers need to prepare to move quickly when a place comes on the market.

"It's impossible to replicate natural features, so if you find something you like, the time to buy is now," advises Kayley. The desire to purchase land and build has waned in recent years with the delays in securing permits, a reputable builder and construction materials. Most homebuyers today want to enjoy the benefits of cottage life immediately, so they are looking for a turnkey solution.

Unlike in 2021 and early 2022, there are fewer multiple-o er situations, so buying this year is much less stressful than in past years.

wooded 2.95-acrelotwithapond.

Sellers can benefit from strong sale prices and a stable market, even if their listing sits longer than in past years. Patience is key, as is working with an experienced realtor who knows the area well. And keep in mind that prices remain about 30 percent higher than pre-pandemic levels.

CRAFTSMAN STYLE $1,789,900

There's nothing about 2023 that indicates a slower-than-normal sales year in cottage country. Even though the latter half of 2022 saw a temporary slowdown in sales, inventory levels are up in 2023 compared to last year, and all indications point to a strong selling year overall.

Summer is the perfect time to extend your living space outdoors and create a vibrant and inviting outdoor oasis. Whether you have a spacious backyard, a cozy balcony, or a small patio, there are numerous ways to enhance your outdoor area and make it a beautiful and functional space for relaxation and entertainment. From furniture and accessories to landscaping and lighting, let’s explore the possibilities of summer outdoor design.

COMFORTABLE SEAT ING: Invest in comfortable and weather-resistant seating options that invite relaxation. Opt for plush outdoor sofas, lounge chairs, or hammocks that allow you to unwind and soak up the summer sun. Consider incorporating vibrant cushions and pillows in cheerful colours and patterns to create a lively and welcoming atmosphere.

ALFRESCO DININ G: Create a dining area that encourages outdoor entertaining and family gatherings. Choose a sturdy outdoor dining table and chairs, and accessorize with colourful tablecloths and outdoor dinnerware. String lights or lanterns above the dining area for a cozy and enchanting ambiance during evening gatherings.

OUTDOOR KITCHEN OR BAR: For those who love to entertain, consider incorporating an outdoor kitchen or bar area. Install a built-in barbecue g rill, countertop space, and a sink for easy food preparation. Add a mini-fridge or an ice bucket for refreshing drinks. This setup allows you to enjoy cooking and entertaining while keeping the indoor kitchen clean and cool.

CREATIVE LIGHTI NG: Enhance the atmosphere of your outdoor space with creative lighting solutions. Hang string lights or lanterns to add a warm and magical glow Install pathway lights to guide guests and highlight the beauty of your landscaping. Incorporate solar-powered lights or LED candles for an eco-friendly and hassle-free lighting option.

L USH GREENERY: Integrate lush greenery and plants into your outdoor design to create a sense of tranquility and natural beauty. Plant lowers, shrubs, and potted plants to add colour and fragrance. Consider vertical gardens or hanging planters to maximize space in smaller areas. Incorporate herbs or a vegetable garden for fresh ingredients right at your fingertips.

SH ADE AND PRIVAC Y: Provide shade and privacy in your outdoor space to make it comfortable even during the hottest days of summer. Install retractable awnings, pergolas, or umbrellas to shield you from the sun’s rays. Use outdoor curtains or privacy screens to create secluded areas and add an element of elegance.

Realty World recently announced its entry into the Canadian real estate market, opening its first office in Burlington, with well-known Broker Brenda McKinley as its leader. We asked Lisa Gerdes, COO of Realty World International, and Brenda McKinley some questions about this exciting development.

Brenda, tell us a bit more about Realty World and why you chose to join this company?

Brenda: Realty World is based in Newport Beach, California, and is a globally recognized leader in the real estate industry, with over 500 offices worldwide. The company was founded over 50 years ago, and their agents are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and dedication to help clients achieve their home buying and selling goals.

And how do you think this move will benefit your local clients?

Brenda: Our local clients will now have access to a global network of industry professionals and innovative real estate solutions, and I believe we will be able to build a strong team locally focused on driving success for our clients. We see this as a win-win for our team and for our clients.

Lisa, tell us why you chose to expand into Canada at this time, and why you chose

Burlington, Ontario as the first location for an office?

Lisa: We are excited to open our first office in Canada. Our decision to expand is consistent with our global growth strategy and recognizes the flourishing Canadian real estate market. We see Burlington as an ideal market to demonstrate our unparalleled real estate expertise, and to serve as a launch pad for additional Canadian offices down the road.

And can you share with us why you chose Brenda to be the team leader and Broker of Record for your first Canadian office?

Lisa: That’s an easy one! Brenda brings a wealth of experience and a deep connection to Southern Ontario, having grown up and raised her family close to the office location. She has a diverse professional background, and has consistently excelled and been recognized as an awardwinning agent since entering the real estate field in 2001.

We also appreciate that Brenda’s personal journey and the challenges she faced as a newcomer in the industry have inspired her commitment to supporting her fellow agents. She genuinely cares, and her dedication to fairness, ethics, and cultivating a supportive environment sets her apart as a leader in the real estate community.
