Current Georgian Bay Listings
Most market reports look backward. Ours looks forward.
The sold record on this page tells you where Georgian Bay has been. The Cottage Forecaster™ is the other half: built on sixteen years of transaction data going back to 2010, read against current economic conditions, to project where the Ontario cottage market is heading. The current signal and the reasoning behind it are published there and refreshed quarterly.

Georgian Bay is a hundred and ninety kilometres long. Treating it as one market is like treating Lake Ontario as one market, so this is broken into the four shores that actually behave differently. 1,677 waterfront sales since 2020, published in full because as far as I can tell nobody else makes this public.
A word on what I do and do not know. The Eastern Shore is where I work. The other three are here because the data exists and somebody should publish it, not because I am going to pretend expertise in Owen Sound or Collingwood. Read those as context for the bay as a whole, and talk to somebody local before acting on them.
Eastern Shore Our market
Georgian Bay Township, the Archipelago, Carling, Parry Sound, McDougall and Seguin
This is our patch. It runs from Honey Harbour north through the Thirty Thousand Islands to Parry Sound and beyond, and it is the cheapest waterfront on the bay by a wide margin. Volume more than halved between 2020 and 2025, which is the same story as the inland Muskoka lakes, but sellers here have held within a few points of asking throughout.

Severn Sound
Tay, Tiny, Midland, Penetanguishene, Severn and Christian Island
The southeast corner, closest to the city and the most built up. Medians run roughly $500,000 above the Eastern Shore, and 2021 was extraordinary here: sixty-two of a hundred and thirty-two sales closed above asking.
| Year | Sales | Median Price | Average Price | Lowest | Highest | Sale-to-List | Over Asking |

West Shore
Northern and South Bruce Peninsula, Georgian Bluffs, Meaford and Owen Sound
Across the open water from us, roughly a hundred kilometres as the crow flies. Prices sit between the Eastern Shore and Severn Sound, and sale-to-list has fallen further here than anywhere else on the bay, to 91.8% in 2025.
| Year | Sales | Median Price | Average Price | Lowest | Highest | Sale-to-List | Over Asking |

South Shore
Wasaga Beach, Collingwood, The Blue Mountains and Clearview
The most expensive water on the bay, driven by the ski hills and the Collingwood commute. The median peaked at $2,275,000 in 2021 and has come down steadily since. Thin volume: fewer than thirty sales in most years, so read the direction rather than any single figure.
| Year | Sales | Median Price | Average Price | Lowest | Highest | Sale-to-List | Over Asking |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 43 | $1,105,000 | $1,467,545 | $275,000 | $3,500,000 | 94.2% | 5 |

Years marked in red had fewer than twenty-five sales in that shore, so those medians move on relatively few transactions. Read direction across several years rather than any single figure.
What this leaves out
Two things, and both matter. The top of the market is not fully captured. The highest sale in this record is $4,975,000, but that is where the source data stops rather than where the market does. Tiny, the Blue Mountains and the Archipelago all trade above five million. Treat the Highest column as a floor.
The North Shore is not tabled. Killarney produced seventeen sales across seven years at a median of $527,000, the cheapest water on the bay by some distance. Seventeen transactions spread over seven years is not enough to report as a market, so it is mentioned rather than charted.
These figures reflect MLS®-listed sales only. Private and exclusive listings never enter the MLS® system and are not captured here. Neither is uncommon in the upper price tiers, where sales are sometimes arranged quietly between the parties. We handle a number of those ourselves on the Eastern Shore, almost always at the top of the range. The real number of transactions is therefore higher than shown, and the gap is widest at the luxury end. We would rather publish the record we can evidence and tell you plainly what it leaves out than quote a figure nobody can check.
Figures are compiled from MLS® sold records for waterfront properties around Georgian Bay, deduplicated to remove properties listed on more than one board. Sale-to-list is the average across that year's sales. Records before 2020 are too sparse in the source to publish honestly, so the series starts there. For the inland lakes, see the Muskoka quarterly dataset or the Parry Sound dataset, both back to 2010.
