Real Estate

 

At A Glance

 

The price of real estate in Huntsville varies widely depending on the location. Generally, waterfront property commands higher prices.

Housing Prices   

 

Prices on residential real estate vary depending on location. Waterfront properties range in price anywhere from $200,000 to $1,000,000. For properties as described below, on average add approximately $150,000 for waterfront.

 

It is interesting to note that most new residential construction taking place in Huntsville is not on waterfront property. This, in part, can be explained by higher land costs associated with the waterfront properties in Muskoka and the greater availability of rural properties.

Traffic Growth

Based on historical traffic volumes, traffic volumes for Highway 60 experience an average growth rate of 3.2% per year. The traffic growth on other town roads is approximately 2.5% per year. (Huntsville Commercial Centre Traffic Study, 2001)

 

Traffic volumes and upgrades have been projected for the years 1996, 2001, and 2011; traffic volumes and the timing of upgrade are related to a level of development that is anticipated to be in place by the planning years. The Town also has a plan for a network of bicycle routes throughout the urban and recreational areas. The first priority is the Fairyvista Trail, which will be an east-west trail between the Town and Hidden Valley areas, generally along the District Road 3 and Hwy 60 corridor. (Town of Huntsville Transportation Planning Study, 2002)

 

Realty Costs

 

Office space currently available ranges up to 3,000 sq.ft., approx. $6 to $20/sq.ft., price may or may not include taxes, heat, hydro; all rental space subject to GST.
