June’s sweltering temps haven’t stopped the Muskoka market from cooling down as the Lakelands North region transforms into a buyer's paradise.The weather might be heating up, but June’s sweltering temps haven’t stopped the Muskoka market from cooling down as the Lakelands North region transforms into a buyer's paradise.

On top of that, the average sale price is now $1,482,323, down 7.8% from last June. The current average also represents a sharp drop of over $100,000 from May’s average price of $1,583,529. However, stats show a 22.1% year-over-year increase in the median price for waterfront properties, which now sits at $1,099,000 — also up from $967,500 in May., Sotheby's International Realty Canada, we’ve clearly entered a buyer's market.

On the water, sales also dipped to 130 units sold, a substantial decrease in waterfront sales of 23.5% from the same period in 2023. Meanwhile, there were 780 active listings at the end of June, up 37.3% from a recorded 508 listings in June 2023.The verdict is in. According to a statement from Bonnie Looby, President of the Lakelands Association of Realtors®, it seems the capital gains inclusion rate increase was not the fire starter some thought it would be.
