Home Ontario - Tiny Township Real Estate Sales Evolving in the Current Millenium

Once considered by most to be primarily cottage country, areas surounded by Georgian Bay including Tiny Township, Midland, Penetanguishene and Tay Township are now bustling with a different type of activity.

Tiny Township consists of waterfront homes, rural dwellings including farms and acreage, homes on large lots just steps to local beaches and cottages. It also includes the villages of Lafontaine, Perkinsfield and Wyevale.

Originally a mostly francophone, farming community that made their home in Ontario, and cottage getaway for the few people who kept the area a secret for years, cottages being passed down from family member to family member are becoming a thing of the past and many people with different backrounds are moving in.

Home values are on the increase with the onslot of people retiring to the area from larger urban nodes from different parts of Ontario, young proffessional families are moving to raise their children in a healthy country atmosphere and people are purchasing new homes to use as cottages in the present and to move to year round in the future.

Quality home builders in Tiny Township contribute to the areas success by being a constant in positive word of mouth advertizing. The sales of custom and "spec" homes have become very popular in the local real estate markets and cater to buyers specific needs and wants.

We now have a population of approximatly 60% year round residents and growing." says Danielle Dorion, Sales Representative with Re/Max Georgian Bay Realty Ltd Brokerage and founder of GeorgianBayDreamTeam.com .

Area homes are very reasonably priced as a result of lower land values, taxes and cost of living. Dorion states, "People are selling their $500,000 + homes in the Greater Toronto Area and purchasing new homes in Tiny Township for $300,000 + which include upgrades and features unheard of for that price in other areas."
