Sell Your Essa Home for 1% | Modern Solution Realty

Sell Home in Essa for Just 1% Commission

Essa Township is the affordable side of the Barrie area — Angus, Thornton and rural Essa with a steady flow of buyers from CFB Borden and the GTA. List your Essa home for 1% with Modern Solution Realty, save approximately $9,900 on the average $660,000 home, and get the same full marketing reach as a traditional 2.5% listing.

Why 1% Commission Works in Essa

Essa buyers are military families posted to CFB Borden, Barrie households looking for value, and GTA commuters using Highway 400 from Thornton. They search MLS, Realtor.ca and HouseSigma and often need to move on a posting timeline. A polished 1% listing performs exactly as well as a 2.5% one — without you giving up thousands at closing.

The Essa Real Estate Market

Essa Township wraps around the west side of Barrie. Angus is the main town, with newer subdivisions and older homes serving CFB Borden next door; Thornton is a commuter village on Highway 27 with larger lots; and Colwell, Baxter and the rural concessions carry farms and acreage. Most of the housing is detached, with a growing number of townhouses in Angus.

CFB Borden, Highway 400 access, Barrie’s hospital and shopping minutes away and prices below Barrie keep Essa’s buyer pool steady. Posting cycles create regular turnover, so well-priced family homes sell quickly.

Home prices in Essa range from approximately $600,000 for townhouses and older bungalows to over $1.65 million for larger rural homes and acreage. With Modern Solution's 1% commission, Essa sellers save approximately $9,900–$24,750 on a typical sale.
