For homebuyers seeking the perfect balance of affordability, natural beauty, and quality of life, Sault Ste. Marie continues to be an appealing destination. This city presents a favorable market for both buyers and sellers, experiencing a relatively balanced market overall. Home prices have remained stable, with minor fluctuations.
While some months witnessed slight increases in median prices, the overall trend indicates a balanced market where demand aligns with supply, according to local REALTOR® Kyle Scali. As of November 20, 2024, the average list price for a single-family detached home in Sault Ste. Marie was $438,793. The median list price was $324,900, reflecting a year-over-year increase of approximately 1.3%. The average days on market were 54. Through Q3 2024, demand for single-detached homes was strongest in the $350,000 to $450,000 price range, as reported by the Sault Ste. Marie Real Estate Board. Homes within this price bracket experienced the shortest time on the market. This stable market environment benefits buyers by allowing them to make well-informed decisions without concerns about sudden price surges. Scali advises focusing on properties that align with long-term goals and being prepared with pre-approvals to act swiftly when the right opportunity arises. For sellers aiming for a timely sale, competitive pricing and effective marketing are crucial, particularly in areas with high buyer interest. Scali suggests sellers ensure their homes are move-in ready and competitively priced to attract maximum interest. Energy-efficient homes, properties with modern upgrades, desirable locations (near trails or the waterfront), and those with larger lots or outdoor amenities are increasingly sought after. Homes in Sault Ste. Marie typically spend an average of 35 to 50 days on the market, depending on the property type. 'This figure has remained relatively stable recently, indicating consistent buyer interest,' notes the REALTOR
