What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

January 2026 reflects a more balanced and measured market across Grey and Bruce Counties:

• Inventory levels are higher in many municipalities.

• Sale-to-list ratios remain healthy, generally in the 90–96% range.

• Days on market are longer than the ultra-competitive years, giving buyers more leverage.

• Well-priced homes can still sell quickly — especially in desirable segments.

As we move toward the spring market, increased activity is expected. Sellers should focus on strategic pricing and presentation, while buyers may find improved negotiating opportunities compared to recent years.
