Marci Csumrik – Orillia Real Estate

How is the real estate business in Orillia at the moment?

It’s very healthy. It is a seller’s market right now, inventory is low and there’s a lot of buyers who are moving to our area. And more people can work from home now whereas before, they had to physically go into the office, so I think because our patterns are changing then we’re seeing more people move to our area.

The people you are dealing with and selling quotes to, what are they telling you that attracts them to Orillia?

The affordability, quality of life, the culture. We have great resources like OMAH, the library, music programs, schools. I think also the fact that we’re located on two lakes, that has a lot to do with it.
