SAULT AND AREA REAL ESTATE MARKET
Posted by admin on January 25, 2012
The best way to describe the Sault and Area Real Estate Market is that we have a variety of price ranges available to the consumer. There are sales of detached bungalows from $35,000 to over $450,000 last year in the city of Sault Ste. Marie. Our Real Estate Board services a large area including from Wawa northwest to Blind River, Elliot Lake East. Therefore our average for the whole board becomes skewed (creates a deviation in stats). Best way to compare apples with apples is to analyze a new 1100 sq. ft. bungalow and a resale (newer within 10yrs.) 1100 sq. ft. bungalow. New is in the $350,000 range, however, our average residential single detached home according to our Real Estate Board statistics is $152,616 for 2011 which is up from $137,455 in 2010 which is an 11% increase. According to survey which appears in Canadian Real Estate Wealth Magazine January issue, the average detached bungalow in Ontario is $357,000 in 2011 which is up 4% from 2010.
