Thank you for checking out the first statistical update on the Muskoka real estate market in 2021. After the first month of the new year, we have analyzed this past month versus January last year. A major factor for this data is to understand how the COVID-19 province-wide lockdowns will have affected home buyers coming to the area and also home sellers about listing their properties at this time.
The Aben Team and all members are strongly committed to providing the safest environment and following all protocols to protect and respect our clients, and the clients of other realtors buying and selling real estate in Muskoka.
The past year has seen an unprecedented seller’s market develop. Looking at 2019 versus 2020, new listings in residential real estate were down 13.9 per cent year over year. With cottages, new listings were down 10.4 per cent year over year while demand and sales were hitting record highs.
The trend of falling new listings looks to be continuing through the month of January. The spring will be an interesting time to see how the supply chain will satisfy the demand and how it affects the market and the values.
The market is currently showing the sign of diving deeper into a seller’s market as the number of new listings compared to last year continues to trend downward, while sales and demand trends upwards. The graphs below show the number of new listings on the waterfront and in residential compared year over year for January 2021. For the full January 2021 market update we encourage you to visit our website.

The Harvey Kalles Real Estate Ltd., Brokerage brand has sold, company-wide, over $2.9 billion in real estate for 2020 and provided our clients on average a 101.5 per cent sale to list price ratio.
If it is time to list your property, trust the Aben Team to have your home professionally staged, professionally photographed, listed, and sold. Looking at days on market averages from the previous year, the Aben Team’s listings have sold on average 52 per cent quicker than average.
