A few years ago, The Ontario Real Estate Association released the demographic statistics of it’s members. Of note:
- 67% of real estate agents are in the GTA (whereas only 47% of Ontario population lives in the GTA)
- 46% of Ontario realtors are over the age of 50 – Of course Ontario tracks it’s population by different age categories, but here’s how that compares to the population at large:
- 15-24 – 13.6%
- 25-44 – 27.6%
- 45-64 – 28.1%
- 65+ – 14.1%
- I’m actually kind of surprised by the male/female ratio – I would have expected our numbers to be more in line with the US averages of 65% women to 35% men.
