Sell Home in Barrie for Just 1% Commission

Barrie is Simcoe County’s biggest and most liquid market — a full-service city on Kempenfelt Bay with a deep pool of buyers from across the GTA. List your Barrie home for 1% with Modern Solution Realty, save approximately $9,750 on the average $650,000 home, and get the same full marketing reach as a traditional 2.5% listing.

Why 1% Commission Works in Barrie

Barrie buyers are young families and first-time buyers leaving the GTA, GO Train commuters, and local move-up households. They find listings on MLS, Realtor.ca, HouseSigma and social ads within hours of a home going live. A polished 1% listing performs exactly as well as a 2.5% one — without you giving up thousands at closing.

The Barrie Real Estate Market

Barrie is a city of over 150,000 on the western shore of Lake Simcoe, an hour north of Toronto on Highway 400. Its neighbourhoods run from the historic downtown and waterfront to the family subdivisions of Holly, Painswick and Ardagh in the south, Innis-Shore and East Bayfield toward the lake, and newer growth in the Hewitt’s and Salem lands on the city’s southern edge.

Two GO stations, Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre, Georgian College and prices well below the GTA keep Barrie’s buyer pool deep year-round. Family homes in the south end and condos near the waterfront are the fastest-moving listings.

Home prices in Barrie range from approximately $520,000 for condos and townhouses to over $950,000 for larger detached homes in Innis-Shore, Ardagh and the waterfront neighbourhoods. With Modern Solution's 1% commission, Barrie sellers save approximately $9,750–$14,250 on a typical sale.
