SCOTT’S MARKET PERSPECTIVE

“ELLISON IS COUNTRY LIVING WITH THE AIRPORT AND CAMPUS JUST MINUTES AWAY.”

ELLISON is currently favouring buyers. With 27 active properties against 9 closed sales in the past 90 days, selection is substantial and pricing discipline matters. Recent sales have taken a median of 37 days and closed at 97.5% of asking, leaving buyers modest room below asking. 5 current listings have already had a price reduction, 19% of active inventory.

Out here it is the land that sets the price, not the square footage. Acreage, zoning and ALR status, water, the views, and where you can actually build can make two similar-looking properties worth very different numbers, so pricing really has to start with the parcel.
