Significant Lower Sales Volumes and a larger inventory compared to 2024, means great opportunities for Buyers entering the market!
Yet surprisingly, the average sale price is up slightly this April compared to 2024 in Orillia, while Oro Medonte prices are lower.
There will be some differences based on specific neighbourhoods, so it is in your best interest to work with a local realtor who understands the local market.

We’re in what’s called a buyer’s market—where inventory is high, competition is stiff, and buyers have more power to negotiate.
This shift offers both …

🏡 Before you buy a house, make sure you can get it insured.
I put in an offer on a cute century home with loads of character and tonnes of issues lurking beneath the hardwood floors.
It had:
-a wood-fired furnace that was likely 100 years old and failed a WETT inspection
- a cast iron stack
- a second-storey death door to nowhere
-a deck laced with booby traps
Your ability to secure a mortgage will depend on this. Companies will …

I live and work in West Ridge so as a result I have a vested interest in tracking the neighbourhood’s Listings and SOLD updates.
West Ridge tends to demand a higher average sale price compared to other neighbourhoods in Orillia.
This is due to the fact that there is a larger number of newer homes here.
The subdivision has been around for 25 years and includes resale and brand new construction provided by a handful of builders. …
