selling prices according lo the latest Town and Country Properties survey from Royal LePage Real Estate Services Ltd Because the supply of smaller parcels available for sale docs not meet the demand we have seen an increase in prices especially in areas of established luxury estates where a small country lot can com a price tag in excess of says Sue Cumberland Manager of Royal LePage a Town and Country Properties Depart Similar patterns are now the fringe areas of many of Ontario larger urban centres such as Ottawa London and Windsor where growth and development are significant slates Cumberland Prime building lots In the country can easily start In the CO range or higher In these areas The Increase In value can be at to two major factors says Cumberland First of all a policy adopted by some Ontario municipalities to pro tect agricultural land allowing only three scrverances on township lots usually 100 acre parcels has made It difficult to split large parcels of land Into smaller lots she says In addition most people are unwilling to go through the costly and time consuming application process re quired by most municipalities for plan of subdivision on these larger Another factor Is that a great deal of land has been banked over the by builders and held for the purpose of future development comments Cumberland Keep In mind that the most factors determining the value of country building lots and small acreages will be the amenities such as streams ponds and quality of the access roads rather than the number of acres she says In some cases a two acre parcel may demand the same price as a 10 or even acre property depending on theomenlUesandlocatlon Conversely around communities still having vast country areas to draw Tram Including cottage coun try where the majority of the pur chasers want the value of country lots and acreages have remained steady in recent years says Cumberland For ex ample good country lots near Parry Sound or Smith Falls will start at while in Sarnla Trenton and Cornwall they can be obtained for between tot 15 ODD We believe this Is a also a factor prompting an Increasing number of people to consider the idea of try retreats as opposed to cottages and the growth of the retirement community concept in rural areas she concludes Royal LePage Is Canada leading realtor with currently close to to employees In over 350
