According to RAGBOS the average price of homes sold in December 2016 was $263,545, up 7.7 % year over-year. The annual average price was $259,284 which was an increase of 5.9 % from a year earlier.

The Realtors Association of Grey Bruce Owen Sound says supply struggles to keep up to the strong demand, meaning historically tight market conditions.
