The Barrie and District Association of Realtors (BDAR) has released its latest market data for February 2025, reflecting a market in transition, with slight month-over-month declines in sales and pricing but strong inventory levels providing opportunities for buyers.
In February 2025, Simcoe County recorded 475 home sales, down 14.26 per cent from February 2024 and 1.04 per cent lower than January 2025. While sales activity softened, the region continues to see steady market engagement, the organization says.
The average sale price reached $792,486, a 5.76-per-cent decrease year-over-year and a 5.85-per-cent dip from January 2025. This pricing adjustment signals greater affordability for buyers and a more competitive landscape for sellers, BDAR says.
New listings totalled 1,234, a 4.86-per-cent decrease from February 2024 and down 13.04 per cent from January 2025, reflecting typical early-year market trends. Active listings remained stable at 2,546, representing a 78.42-per-cent year-over-year increase, providing greater selection for buyers.
The months of inventory rose slightly to 5.36, indicating a balanced market with more homes available to meet demand, BDAR says.
“While we’re seeing a natural market adjustment, the increase in available inventory presents opportunities for buyers to explore their options,” says BDAR chair Robin Jones. “With stable sales levels and a balanced market, Realtors are well-positioned to help clients navigate evolving conditions in Simcoe County.”
In Bradford, specifically, year-over-year sales (29 last month, down from 42 a year ago), average price ($1.03 million from $1.11 million) and new listings (79 from 84) dropped compared to February 2024, though active listings (up to 115 from 62) and months of inventory (3.97 from 1.48) both increased in that time.
Innisfil, meanwhile, saw sales (47, down from 53) and new listings (157 from 161) drop over the last year, though average price (up to $833,591 from $817,141), active listings (309 from 180) and month of inventory (6.57 from 3.4) grew.
