“Resale housing demand recorded another strong month in June 2012, although the year-over-year gain was considerably more modest than the 21 per cent jump we saw in May,” said Walter Doret, President of the Barrie and District Association of REALTORS®. “A total of 2,555 homes have traded hands so far this year. This is up 14 per cent from the first half of 2011, and marks the second best start to any year on record after 2007.”
The year-to-date average price for all Barrie homes sold via the Association’s MLS® System in June 2012 was $301,967, up six per cent from levels at the same time last year.

The Barrie & District Association of REALTORS® cautions that over a period of time, the use of average price information can be useful in establishing trends, but it does not indicate actual prices in widely divergent areas or account for price differentials between geographical areas.
