Methodology

This page draws on 52 recorded commercial transactions in Barrie between 2021-10-18 and 2025-12-19, from the EVALUAITE Market Intelligence dataset. A city and asset class is published only once it carries at least 50 recorded transactions.

Too few of these sales reported a cap rate to publish a range, so none is shown. 4 of 5 years carried enough sales to plot a median; the rest report volume only. The year-over-year comparison had enough sales on both sides to compute. CMHC rental context is available for this market.
