Buying Waterfront in the Quinte Region

Thinking of moving to the Quinte region ? Perhaps you would like to consider one of our lovely waterfront properties. Waterfront in the Quinte area is still reasonably priced compared with other areas of Ontario and the nearby amenities make purchasing here very attractive and a lucrative investment when looking at the long term.


Vacant Land -Waterfront There were 10 waterfront vacant pieces of land sold in the Quinte District in the month of May. The average selling price was $83,190.00 . Waterfront lots (deeded water access lots are also included in this
category ) can still be had at a reasonable price in the Quinte area. 17 waterfront vacant lots were listed in the month of May at an average list price of $171,064.71 .

Residential - Waterfront There were 53 waterfront properties sold in the Quinte region in May that were classified as residential. This includes condominiums, homes and seasonal cottages on the water or with deeded water access. The average sales price was $300,419.32

The higher end waterfront properties in the Quinte region are usually those found on the Bay of Quinte or on Lake Ontario. There are numerous Lakes in the Quinte area and it's surrounding regions (all within 45 minute drive from Belleville , Ontario). Moira Lake continues to be a destination of choice for many tourists and cottagers in the summer season and many people from the cities of Belleville and Trenton have cottages there. There are also many permanent residences on Moira Lake. Waterfront properties can still be found at a very reasonable price on the lake. For a complete list of properties presently available on Moira Lake (and/or all waterfront properties in the Quinte Region ) send me your email . I will be happy to forward you a list with links that will give you extensive information on everything currently available there.

 Lake Ontario waterfront continues to be one of the prime choices for people moving to the shore in our area. Vacant land on Lake Ontario generally commands a price well over $150,000. Many fine homes have been built along the Lake Ontario shoreline in Prince Edward County and also in the Brighton region.

When buying waterfront property in any area, it is a good idea to first do extensive research on the community itself and most importantly on the qualities of the lake and it's history. For a complete list of the lakes in the Quinte and District region and a description of their qualities, please contact me. I would be happy to send you this information.
