The Barrie & District Association of REALTORS® (BDAR) has released its latest market data for May 2025, indicating continued growth in new listings and inventory across Simcoe County. While sales have moderated compared to the same time last year, month-over-month trends reflect steady activity and rising prices heading into the summer season.
