Last month’s home sales in Kitchener-Waterloo represented a decrease of 32.8 percent compared to July 2021.
“In the wake of July’s interest rate hike, home sales in Waterloo Region continued to slow. We’re seeing a clear shift in the market and what people can afford to purchase or are willing to pay. On the bright side for buyers, it’s not the extreme sellers’ market it was.”
M Bell, President of KWAR

Market recap from the President of KWAR:
“The real estate market is cooling across the province, and we are seeing significantly fewer buyers from the GTA, which is also impacting prices. However, this is not entirely bad news since the previous market was not sustainable. We are all keenly aware of the issues relating to affordability of not just purchasing a home, but rentals as well, and there is clearly more work to be done.”
