How’s the Market - February 2026

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 18:05:09 GMT

February was pretty busy on our end, even though the overall number of sales was down. In total, 22 properties sold, compared to 34 last February.

That said, our busyness doesn’t mean it’s a good time to casually test the market. The homes that are selling right now are because the sellers have made a clear decision that it’s time to move.

My sense heading into the spring market is that it will likely stay active for that same reason. The sellers who are stepping forward right now aren’t just curious. They’ve decided it’s time for their next move and they’re approaching the process with a plan.

Of the 22 properties that sold, only three sold over $700,000, and just one of those sales was over $1 million, coming in at $1,250,000. Because the majority of the activity was in the lower price ranges, the average sale price for February came in at just over $566,000.

Breakdown by Area

Here’s how February 2026 shaped up compared to February 2025 in key areas of our region:

Wilcox Lake, Grey Highlands

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 19:24:52 GMT

Size, Depth, Boating Suitability, Fish Species, Public Access & What It’s Known For

Wilcox Lake is a natural inland lake located in Grey Highlands, Ontario. It offers a quieter waterfront setting compared to some of the region’s larger lakes and is known for its connection to surrounding trail systems and natural landscape.

Some Quick Facts:

Waterbody type: Natural inland lake
Location: Grey Highlands, Grey County, Ontario

Surface area: Approximately 65 acres based on Grey County GIS mapping
Shoreline: Primarily wooded and residential

At roughly 65 acres, Wilcox Lake is large enough to feel like a true lake while maintaining a calm, low traffic atmosphere.

Depth

Detailed bathymetric surveys are not widely published, but Wilcox Lake is generally described as:

Shallow to moderate in overall depth
Without a significant deep water basin
This depth profile supports calm lake conditions and recreational fishing rather than high speed boating.

Fish Species in Wilcox Lake

Wilcox Lake supports freshwater species typical of inland lakes in Grey Highlands.

Commonly targeted fish include:

Largemouth bass
Smallmouth bass
Yellow perch
Sunfish species

Vegetation and shoreline structure provide suitable habitat for recreational fishing.

Boating and Watercraft

Wilcox Lake is best suited to non motorized and low impact boating.

Typical uses include:

Kayaks
Canoes
Paddleboards
Small fishing boats

Because of its size and character, large high speed motorized boating is not typical on this lake.

Public Access

Wilcox Lake does have limited public access.

There is a small roadside access point, and the former rail trail runs alongside portions of the lake, providing seasonal access by:

Hiking
ATV where permitted
Snowmobiling in winter

Most of the remaining shoreline around Wilcox Lake is privately owned.

For general location reference only, Wilcox Lake can be viewed here:

https://maps.app.goo.gl/oNF1FXAxhGHyF7Xc9

What Wilcox Lake Is Known For

A quieter, low traffic lake environment
Recreational fishing
Direct connection to the rail trail system
Seasonal trail access
Natural surroundings with modest development

It is not a high activity boating lake, and that quieter character is part of its appeal.

A Local Perspective

Wilcox Lake appeals to people who value simplicity and access to nature. The connection to the rail trail gives it a different feel than many inland lakes. You are not just near the water. You are connected to a broader recreational corridor.

For those looking for a calm inland lake in Grey Highlands with nearby trail access, Wilcox Lake offers a balanced and understated setting.

Privacy, acreage, and proximity to skiing come together here in Grey Highlands. Set nicely back from the road and tucked into the trees, this adorable 920 sq ft bungalow feels quiet and comfortable without feeling remote. The main level is open concept and thoughtfully laid out, with 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom with combined laundry. It's not large, but it lives well. A welcoming front porch adds character, and the second front entrance functions perfectly as a practical mudroom entrance. Off the dining area, a small deck overlooks the backyard, a peaceful spot for morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day. The walkout basement is insulated and ready for whatever you envision next. With a wood stove already in place, there's strong potential to create a third bedroom, rec room, office, or additional flexible space. Move in and enjoy it as is, or finish the lower level over time. The 50-acre parcel is mostly treed, offering privacy and the potential for natural trails. In the back corner, approximately 4 acres are open field, adding meaningful usable space for hobby farming, recreation, or future plans. Closer to the home, the yard provides excellent potential for flower beds, vegetable gardens, or expanded outdoor living areas. A detached 950 square foot garage, 38' by 25', plus a lean-to at the rear for storage, provides excellent space for vehicles, tools, or recreational equipment. Located just 12 minutes to Markdale and 10 minutes to Beaver Valley Ski Club, you're close to amenities and year-round recreation while still enjoying the calm of the countryside. If you thought a country property on acreage was out of reach, this is a practical way to step into the market without overextending. Current property taxes reflect participation in a conservation plan and farm tax classification for the open field.

Flesherton Community Pond, Grey Highlands

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 20:09:35 GMT

Size, Depth, Boating Suitability, Fish Species, Public Access & What It’s Known For

Flesherton Community Pond is a small but well-loved body of water located right in the village of Flesherton in Grey Highlands. Unlike larger inland lakes, this pond functions as a true community space. It’s easy to access, easy to enjoy, and plays an important role in day-to-day life for locals.

This post focuses on clear, factual information about Flesherton Community Pond to help you understand what makes it unique.

Some Quick Facts:

Waterbody type: Pond / small inland lake
Location: Flesherton, Grey Highlands, Grey County, Ontario

Surface area: Approximately 60–70 acres
Shoreline: Compact and easily walkable

Flesherton Community Pond is significantly smaller than most lakes in Grey County, which gives it a more intimate and accessible feel.

Pond Depth

Flesherton Community Pond is shallow throughout most of its basin.

Average depth: Approximately 3–6 feet
Maximum depth: Estimated to be under 15 feet

Its shallow depth contributes to calm water conditions and makes it well suited for casual recreation rather than high-speed boating.

How Flesherton Community Pond Was Formed

Flesherton Community Pond developed as part of the local watershed and has long been integrated into the village landscape. Over time, the shoreline and surrounding parkland were shaped to support recreation, community use, and water management.

Rather than functioning as a remote natural lake, the pond has evolved alongside the growth of Flesherton itself and is closely tied to the village’s layout and green space.

Fish Species in Flesherton Pond

Flesherton Community Pond supports fish species commonly found in smaller inland ponds and slow-moving waters.

Species typically found include:

Largemouth bass
Pumpkinseed sunfish
Bluegill
Yellow perch
Creek chub

Fishing here is generally casual and shore-based, making it a popular spot for beginners and families.

Boating and Watercraft

Due to its size and depth, Flesherton Community Pond is best suited to non-motorized or low-impact watercraft.

Common uses include:

Canoes
Kayaks
Paddleboards
Small fishing boats with electric trolling motors

Large motorized boats are not practical on the pond, and the overall atmosphere is quiet and relaxed.

Public Access, Beach & Park Area

One of Flesherton Community Pond’s defining features is how accessible it is.

The pond is surrounded by public parkland and includes a well-used beach area, making it a central gathering place in the community.

Public Access Map

You can view the main public access area here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/BYecgpMdF8GtboWv9

Public amenities include:

A designated swimming area
Shoreline fishing access
Nearby parking
Picnic space

Residential properties sit near parts of the shoreline, but public space plays a major role in how the pond is enjoyed.

What Flesherton Community Pond Is Known For

Flesherton Pond is best known for:

Being located directly in town
Easy access for families and children
Calm water ideal for paddling
Shoreline fishing and casual recreation
Community events and everyday use

It’s not a destination lake for power boating or large cottages, and that’s exactly the point. The pond works because it’s simple, accessible, and woven into daily life.

A Local Perspective

Flesherton Community Pond appeals to people who value convenience and connection. It’s the kind of place where you can stop by after dinner, take a short walk by the water, or let kids swim without planning a full lake day.

It doesn’t try to be anything more than what it is, a calm, welcoming piece of waterfront that belongs to the community.

How’s the Market - January 2026

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 17:53:59 GMT

From a numbers standpoint, January was very much in line with last year, with 21 sales this January compared to 20 in January 2025. Even with challenging weather, activity held steady.

What feels different this year is the overall tone of the market. Last January was consistent, though slightly behind the previous year, and momentum faded as uncertainty crept in. This year feels more measured and stable. Buyers are showing up, but they’re cautious and very value focused.

That’s where pricing comes in. Many of the sales we’re seeing right now are happening because of aggressive, realistic pricing, not simply because the market is more active. Price adjustments continue to play a key role in triggering showings and offers, and there is still uncertainty around where pricing ultimately settles.

Takeaway for homeowners: buyers are active, but pricing is doing the heavy lifting. Homes that meet today’s market are the ones moving, while overpricing continues to lead to longer days and adjustments.

All 3 bedrooms on this level are a comfortable size, and the primary includes a 3-piece ensuite with a walk-in shower. The lower level is flexible and works well for real life. The family room and wet bar make Friday movie nights or sports nights something to look forward to. The den has a walk-in closet and could become a bedroom if the window is enlarged. There's also a 2-piece bath that has the plumbing and room to add a shower, plus a huge laundry room, storage space, and a smaller room behind the wet bar that works well as a pantry, hobby room, or just extra storage. Forced air natural gas heat and central air conditioning keep things comfortable year-round. Outside is where summer truly shows off. The back deck is oversized with a covered area for the BBQ or smoker, and there is room to enjoy both sun and shade. A pergola, a firepit area, and space to spread out make it the kind of backyard where you look up and realize you have spent half the evening outside without even noticing. The home has been very well cared for and is genuinely move-in ready. It sits on a quiet street with a cul-de-sac and a trail just a few doors away that leads right to the park. It works well for a family or for anyone who likes the comfort of main-floor living but still wants that extra space downstairs for weekend fun or everyday function.

The Oscar Phillips House is one of those homes people already feel connected to before they ever step inside. Sitting proudly at the top of the hill, it has a presence that quietly stands out and draws you in. Built in 1904, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is filled with original character that you simply cannot recreate. The original wood floors and trim bring warmth and authenticity, while the windows throughout the home flood the space with natural light. The tall ceilings in the original section of the main floor make each room feel open, bright, and far more spacious than you would expect from a home of this era. The living room is oversized and full of flexibility. It could remain a generous gathering space, or be reimagined to create a main floor fourth bedroom, home office, den, or toy room while still maintaining a comfortable living area. This kind of layout adaptability is rare and adds so much value for growing or changing households. Upstairs, the large four-piece bathroom is a standout. Its size allows for a complete redesign, with room for a walk-in shower and a standalone soaker tub, turning it into a true spa-style space if that is your vision. The back addition adds everyday practicality to the charm. A spacious mudroom entrance opens directly into the family room, creating a natural hub for daily life. The main floor three-piece bathroom is perfectly placed for convenience, especially for families or guests. Under the addition, a large storage room provides something older homes often lack: dedicated and functional storage space. This home offers the best of both worlds. Historic character paired with thoughtful spaces and endless potential. Whether your plans are gradual updates or a full transformation, the foundation is here to create something truly special. *NOTE: the driveway access is off of Peter Street.

How’s the Market - December 2025

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 19:12:27 GMT

As of January 1, there were 200 active listings on the market, and we saw 28 sales in the month of December. That’s a strong number of sales for what is typically a quieter time of year. December actually proved to be fairly busy, including with showings, which tells us buyers are still paying attention and still ready to move when the right home comes along.

This is also why pricing continues to matter so much. If you’re not getting showings, you’re not getting offers. But if you are getting showings and still not getting offers, that can be just as frustrating, if not more. It usually means buyers are interested, but something about the price or presentation isn’t quite lining up with their expectations. Both situations are important signals, just different ones.

To put things into perspective, in December 2024 there were only 19 sales. This past December we had 28, which is a big jump for a December and a really positive sign of buyer activity.

One thing I can see clearly from the back end is that online views remain high. There are a lot of people actively looking, watching, and keeping an eye on the market from the sidelines. Even when they’re not ready to move immediately, they’re paying attention and getting informed, which is always a strong indicator of future activity.
