Last month’s home sales in Kitchener-Waterloo decreased 22.0 percent compared to April 2022.
“The local spring market is off to a slower than usual start with half the number of new listings hitting the market than this time last year…However, with demand continuing to outstrip supply, we saw prices increase on a month-over-month basis as total sales volume continues to waver well below historical figures for the month of April.”
M Bell, President of KWAR

Market recap from the President of KWAR:
“Waterloo Region remains a sellers’ market, and while prices have fallen in comparison to last year, we anticipate that home prices will continue to increase steadily. Some stability in mortgage rates has brought about a return of buyer activity as we begin to observe a return of multiple offer scenarios, bidding wars, and a decrease in the number of days properties take to sell.”
