Which Barrie neighbourhood fits you
Lowest entry price. City Centre, Allandale, Cundles East and Grove East all have median asking prices of $620K or less. Grove East has by far the most choice in that group, with 22 listings, and they have typically been up for 42 days, so there is room to negotiate.
Most choice in the middle of the market. With a budget of $650K to $750K, start with Wellington (18 listings), Holly (18), Codrington (17), Allandale Heights (15), Painswick South (12), Sunnidale (12) and Painswick North (11). Those seven neighbourhoods hold 103 of Barrie’s bungalow listings.
Room to negotiate. North Shore (61 days), East Bayfield (55) and Bayshore (54) have the longest-sitting listings. A home that has been on the market for two months usually has a seller who is more open to an offer below asking.
Expect competition. Allandale (14 days), Edgehill Drive (17) and Cundles East (18) move fastest. Have your pre-approval in hand and see homes in their first few days.
In-law or rental suite potential. Raised bungalows often have a bright, full-height lower level. Seven of the 15 listings in Allandale Heights are raised bungalows, as are 5 of the 10 in Ardagh. Browse all Barrie raised bungalows or homes with a separate entrance.
Top of the market. Ardagh ($859K), Bayshore ($900K) and North Shore ($1.2M) are where most of Barrie’s $850K-plus bungalows are listed. North Shore’s range runs to $2.35M.
Choosing a bungalow style in Barrie
Classic one-floor bungalows are the largest group, with 108 listings at a $699K median asking price, followed by 55 raised bungalows at $709K. Backsplits are the lowest-priced style at a $649K median. There are only four bungalofts for sale, at a $970K median, so if you want a main-floor primary bedroom with extra space upstairs, set an alert on Barrie bungalofts. If a backyard pool is on your list, start with Barrie bungalows with a pool. Families have plenty of choice: 155 of the bungalows for sale in Barrie (69%) have three or more bedrooms.
What to inspect in an Ontario bungalow before you firm up
Many Barrie bungalows have finished basements and systems that are decades old, so a general home inspection is the minimum. Four items deserve their own attention.
- Radon. Health Canada’s guideline is 200 Bq/m³ as an annual average, and it recommends testing for 3 to 12 months in the lowest lived-in level of the home, which in a bungalow is often a finished basement. A test that long will not fit inside a typical condition period, so plan to test after you move in. Our radon testing guide explains how. (Source: Health Canada)
- Knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring. The Electrical Safety Authority says homes built between the mid-1960s and late 1970s may have aluminum wiring, and it recommends having a Licensed Electrical Contractor assess either type. ESA also notes that many insurers will not provide or renew coverage on homes with knob-and-tube wiring. More in our wiring guide. (Sources: ESA, knob and tube; ESA, aluminum wiring)
- An insurance quote before you waive conditions. Wiring, roof age and past water claims can all affect coverage, so get a quote on the actual address during your conditional period.
- Basement water protection. Ask whether the home has a backwater valve and a sump pump, and look for signs of past water in the basement. Our basement flooding guide covers what to look for.
Costs beyond the price
Ontario charges land transfer tax on every home purchase. First-time buyers can get a refund of up to $4,000 if they move in within nine months of closing (source: Ontario.ca). Work out your payment and closing costs with our mortgage and land transfer tax calculators.
