The numbers Q2Number of Transactions

In 2015, Historic Lakeshore Communities have experienced the highest relative number of sales in Georgina, at 53 Sales in the second quarter. The relative number of sales is the number of sales based on the inventory in the area.

The average and median sale price in Historic Lakeshore Communities drastically outperforms other areas of Georgina, at $480,776, versus the municipal average of $412,059. The major economic indicator pointing towards this difference in price is the number of Lakefront Homes transacted in this area, as well as locational premiums for lake access and proximity.

With a median sale price of $445,000, Historic Lakeshore Communities are, by both metrics, the highest valued area for Q2 2015.
