The Survival Guide to Buying Vacant Land in Simcoe County
Buying vacant land looks simple from the road and gets complicated the day you own it. This 14-page guide walks through what to check before you offer: soil and test holes, wells and septic systems, site servicing, grading and drainage (swales and soak-away pits), realistic construction costs, how to vet a builder, and how lenders treat land financing.
Written by Jonathan Wallace with input from Steve Feheley of Jameson Homes, a custom builder working across Simcoe County, so the advice reflects what actually happens on local builds.

Is Now a Good Time to Buy or Sell? A Georgian Bay Market Read
The question I get more than any other, answered straight. This guide walks through what summer really does to the market here, the real cost of waiting for spring, first-time buyer math at today's rates, whether to list in August or September, cottages and second properties, and the single biggest pricing mistake sellers make in a buyer's market.
Written by Jonathan Wallace from current Simcoe County and Georgian Bay numbers, in plain language, with no spin.
