Last month’s home sales in Kitchener-Waterloo decreased 10.9 percent compared to May 2022.
“The spring market is in full swing with robust buyer and listing activity observed in May. It’s encouraging to witness a significant uptick in listing activity compared to April, and we remain optimistic that this positive momentum will carry into June. However, it’s worth noting that the number of listings being added to the MLS® System continues to be historically low.”
M Bell, President of KWAR

Market recap from the President of KWAR:
“Waterloo Region properties remain in high demand, driven by our diverse economy and the desirability of our community, we continue to be in a seller’s market…With limited inventory and a relatively low number of new listings being added to the MLS® system, buyers face intensified competition while sellers receive increasingly competitive offers.”
