Welcome to Essa!
Essa Township is the stretch of Simcoe County immediately west of Barrie, following the Nottawasaga River through farmland that turns into subdivision at Angus and back into farmland again. Angus is the township's largest community and sits next to CFB Borden, which gives Essa something almost no other market around here has: a steady posting cycle that moves families in and out on a schedule, alongside the usual Barrie commuter demand. South and east of that, Thornton, Baxter and Ivy are small crossroads communities on large lots, and the housing runs from new builds in Angus to century farmhouses on acreage. Prices here have historically sat below Barrie's for comparable space, which is much of the appeal. Parker Coulter Realty lists throughout the township, and the market figures below are the same board data we work from.

Last 30 days
Market figures are aggregate statistics for Essa over the last 30 days, compiled from board data and recalculated daily. Averages are withheld where fewer than ten transactions closed in the window. The trend lines plot the last two years of rolling 30-day windows, and only those windows that held enough closed transactions to publish an average. We hold snapshots from further back than that, but the earlier capture is too sparse to compare against today’s — charting it would show our data collection improving rather than the market moving. For the same reason there is no chart of sales volume over time. Historical and current data — not a forecast or prediction of future prices. Population is from the 2021 Census.

Selling in Essa for 1%
We list Essa homes for a 1% listing commission with full service included: professional photography, drone, staging assistance, 3D tour, floor plans, premium marketing, wide syndication, and our team on showings, offers and negotiation from start to close. There are no upfront fees and no cancellation fees — no fees whatsoever — and we only get paid when you get paid. The commission offered to the buyer's brokerage is separate from our 1%, and it is determined at the time of listing by you, the seller, with our guidance before you go to market. Our office is in Barrie, about twenty minutes from Angus, so Essa is home turf rather than an outpost.

Listing commission does not include cooperating brokerage commission. Co-op commission is determined at time of listing by the seller. Commissions are negotiable in Ontario.
