Last month home sales in Kitchener-Waterloo were up 25% compared to January 2020.
“January’s home sales were more active than what we typically see this time of year…But nothing has been typical about our housing market.”
N Pohl, President of KWAR
January Sales Breakdown:
- 201 Detached Home Sales
- 71 Condominium Sales
- 21 Semi-Detached Home Sales
- 56 Freehold Townhouse Sales
The average sale price of all residential properties sold in January was up by 24% to $695,582 compared to January 2020.
The average price of a detached home hit a new milestone by exceeding 800-thousand-dollars for the first time, coming in at $853,945 an increase of 27.3 per cent.
Average Home Price:
- $853,945 Detached Homes
- $383,196 Apartment-Style Condominiums
- $566,345 Townhomes
- $626,512 Semis
It took an average of 16 days to sell a home in January, compared to 22 days in January 2020.
Market recap from the President of KWAR:
“With demand for homes unabated and consumer preferences leaning predominantly toward single detached homes, in January we saw buyers paying a premium for this property type…Conversely, even as condo sales were increasing in January, we saw prices for this style of housing soften by comparison.”
