OVERVIEW (cont’d) THE DEMAND FOR LISTINGS IS GREATER THAN THE SUPPLY Compared to last June, this June saw: dollar sales down 12%, units down 14% (though neither drop was nearly as big as most Georgian Triangle communities); 28% fewer new listings; homes selling 18 days slower on average; and a 63% sales/listings ratio, up 10%. All in all, it’s still a sellers’ market. Graph 1: Wasaga Beach MLS® Sales 2016 vs. 2017 vs. 2018 (Volume)

THE MARKET IN DETAIL (cont’d) As Graph 3 shows, after March’s jump in dollar sales, Q2’s dollar sales were relatively modest: down 24% and 22% from Q2-2017 and Q2-2016 respectively. In fact, Q2’s volume of $73,517,348 was closer to Q2-2015’s $67,534,107, despite Q2’s average sale price being up 45%. On the units side, Graph 4 shows Q2’s 173 sales down 25% and 41% from Q2-2017 and Q2-2016 respectively. In fact, Q2’s total was the lowest since Q2-2014’s 167. Or in other words, it was the lowest since the Wasaga Beach market’s unprecedented, 2015-2017 boom.

THE MARKET IN DETAIL (cont’d) As Graph 5 shows, unit sales are down from this time last year in all ranges except $1M- $1.499M, where they are up by 1 sale or 100%, and the Under $100K, where they are even. And so, the $100K-$299K, $300K-$499K, $500-$799K and $800K-$999K ranges are down 39%, 25%, 24% and 57% respectively from one year ago. More generally, the high-volume $100K-$799K bracket, which accounts for 96% of Wasaga Beach’s unit sales this year, is down 28% from 2017 and 40% from 2016.
