Simcoe County Real Estate Market Update – June 2025
The Simcoe County real estate market update June 2025 is in, and the numbers continue to tell the story of a shifting market. Across the region, we are seeing growing inventory, a slight softening in prices, and a generally more balanced environment between buyers and sellers.
Sales across Simcoe County remained relatively flat compared to this time last year, dipping just 1.3%. Month over month, there was a modest increase in sales of about 2.5%, which aligns with seasonal expectations. The average sale price in the region dropped 4.7% year over year to $828,459 and declined 2.5% from May. This downward pressure on pricing is likely the result of rising inventory and longer days on market.
New listings totalled 1,638 in June, which is 15.5% higher than June of last year, but slightly down from May. Active listings continue to rise, with 2,749 homes on the market at the end of June, a 22.3% year-over-year increase. Months of inventory reached 5.3, which confirms a market that has more breathing room for buyers and signals longer absorption times for sellers.
Barrie continues to feel the effects of higher inventory levels. Sales were down nearly 8% from last June, but they rose modestly month over month. Prices in Barrie took a sharper turn, dropping nearly 11% year over year and over 4% from May to land at an average of $711,102. With over 1,000 active listings now on the market, sellers must be extremely precise in their pricing and presentation if they want to attract serious buyers.
Springwater saw a 30% increase in year-over-year sales activity and a 15% bump from May, which is notable considering the overall regional trends. Average prices also jumped nearly 12% from the previous month to $1.17 million, though they remain slightly below last year’s levels. This pocket of the county appears to be holding strong, especially among detached properties, which continue to dominate local sales.
Innisfil saw a slight dip in year-over-year sales but managed to post a small month-over-month gain. What stands out is the continued upward trend in average sale price, which rose just over 2% from May and over 1% year over year, landing at $936,471. Inventory levels in Innisfil are still climbing, now sitting at just over 500 active listings, and months of inventory is approaching 7. Buyers here are taking more time, but they are still engaging with the market.
Overall, we are in a more balanced market than we’ve seen in years. Buyers have more choice and negotiating power, while sellers must now rely on strategy, timing, and proper pricing more than ever before.
