I was thinking to buy a cottage around the Midland area, Georgian bay.
Where do you think the market is headed? I'm look at a cheaper place around 150k.
I'd hate to lose too much on market decline but properties stay vacant there a long time.

I have not built a cabin as yet, but from what I have seen on this site $150,000 would bankroll at least 3 or 4 new cabins to completion. I am planning on 50k for land and cabin, 40 for the land 10 for the cabin. Yes, I want as much land and as secluded as I can get. With repurposing and second hand sources it will probably be much less. Depending on land prices and how much land you want 50k is probably a high number. Sounds like you have found a second vacation retreat in prime real estate in an established community. For an estimate look at home sells in the area for a history to see if they have stabilized. Recreational property sells are generally considered a luxury market and may behave differently than conventional housing. A realtor should have or be able to locate the historical data. Maybe closure data is recorded in the county court house, just a thought. In the end a cabin has different meanings for most of us. What you are looking for depends on your definition.

In Ontario they are strict about building codes, you can bank role a 10 sq m cabin for nothing but who want to live in that?
It not cheaper to build your own house in Ontario.
