Helping people find
their place in Barrie.

In August 2026 the average Barrie home sold for $667,703 and the median was $650,000, across 164 sales. Detached homes averaged $740,325, condo apartments $494,278. The MLS® Home Price Index benchmark — which adjusts for the mix of homes that happened to sell that month — was $624,700, down 6.65% on a year earlier. If you want to know whether prices are genuinely moving, watch the benchmark rather than the average: an average can jump simply because a few expensive houses sold. I update these figures every month in the Barrie market report.

It depends on your neighbourhood far more than on the city average. Ardagh Bluffs, Painswick, Allandale and downtown all sit at different price points with different buyer pools. The only accurate answer comes from comparable sales on your street in the last 90 days, adjusted for your home's condition. Request a valuation and you'll have one within 24 hours.

In August 2026 the average Barrie home sold in 35 days on its current listing — but 58 days once you count earlier listings of the same property. That gap is worth understanding. When a home doesn't sell it is often withdrawn and relisted, which resets the advertised clock, and most sites quote only the lower number. Detached homes averaged 37 days, condo apartments 40. Homes sold at 98% of asking, with 872 on the market against 164 sales, or about five months of supply. Getting the price right in the first two weeks matters more than anything else you do — a home that sits is almost always a pricing problem rather than a marketing one.

In most residential transactions the seller's brokerage offers compensation to the buyer's brokerage out of the sale proceeds. Buyer representation agreements in Ontario must now set out compensation explicitly, so you will see exactly what is being paid and by whom before you sign anything. I walk through that agreement line by line.

No, but you should have one. The builder's sales representative works for the builder. A buyer's agent reviews the purchase agreement, explains the adjustments and closing costs that surprise most new-build buyers, and negotiates upgrades and deposit structure. In most cases the builder pays the buyer agent's commission, so the representation costs you nothing extra.

All of Barrie, with the most experience in the east end, downtown and along the Kempenfelt shoreline. Beyond the city I work in Innisfil, Alcona, Stroud, Oro-Medonte, Shanty Bay, Springwater, Midhurst, Minesing, Angus, Thornton, Essa and Orillia.
