COLLINGWOOD REAL ESTATE
MARKET REPORT: 2015 IN REVIEW
Part 1: Market Overview
 Record-breaking sales volume of $213,700,193, sales units of 657, and average sale price
of $325,267 (up 18.9%, 8.1% and 10% respectively over 2014’s previous records)!
 Sales units up a huge 82.9% in the $500K-$799K range and up 31% in the $300K+ range.
 The record sales came despite 2015’s total listings being down 16.1% from 2014, such
that the sales-to-listings ratio was a super-high 55.9%, with expired listings down 39.3%.
 All this suggests the demand for listings still greatly exceeds the supply. In fact, many
REALTORS® say sales would’ve been higher if there were more homes on the market.

Part 4: Vacant Land
 2015 sales volume and units changed little from 2014, with average sale price up 14.1%.
 However, there are so many variables in vacant land sales and so few transactions in any
given year that it is difficult to draw general conclusions about the market.
