Waterloo Region October 2026 Statistics

“Buyers and sellers in Waterloo Region continued to take a cautious approach in September, with sales down 18.9% year-over-year and new listings falling 16.7% over the same period,” said Bill Duce, CEO of Cornerstone. “Even with less activity, Waterloo Region had the tightest supply at 3.8 months, suggesting the market remains relatively balanced, with modest price declines despite the slowdown. Buyers and sellers will benefit from a local REALTOR® on their side who can speak to activity and trends in their local neighbourhood.”

Kitchener Waterloo Market Snapshot August 2026

September 10th, 2026 by Riz Jadavji

“Waterloo Region’s market continued to reflect the broader trend of cautious buyer activity, with sales down 10.9% year-over-year and new listings falling 14.8% over the same period,” said Bill Duce, CEO of Cornerstone. “While the pullback in both sales and listings may seem concerning on the surface, Waterloo Region remains the tightest market across our coverage area, yet buyers still have more selection than in previous years. It’s also worth noting the differences between communities, with the Kitchener-Waterloo benchmark price down 6.0% year-over-year to $628,300, while Cambridge showed more resilience, with a modest 4.2% decline to $666,400 and a slight uptick month-over-month. These differences are a good reminder that Waterloo Region is not a single market, and connecting with a local REALTOR® who knows your community and neighbourhood is the best way to navigate what this market means for you specifically.”

July 8th, 2026 by Riz Jadavji

Kitchener Waterloo Market Snapshot May 2026

June 9th, 2026 by Riz Jadavji

“Waterloo Region is navigating one of its slowest Mays for sales in the past 15 years, yet the steady month-over-month progress since the start of the year is encouraging. A 9.8 per cent increase in sales from April, combined with a modest uptick in new listings, speaks to a market that is gradually finding its footing,” says Bill Duce, CEO of Cornerstone.

Kitchener Waterloo Market Snapshot April 2026

May 5th, 2026 by Riz Jadavji

“The real estate market has gained positive momentum this spring, with steady month-over-month growth in sales and new listing activity since the start of the year, although at a more moderate pace than the same period in 2025,” said Bill Duce, CEO of Cornerstone. “It is encouraging that we are still early in the spring market. These April numbers are just the beginning, and May and June are typically among the strongest months of the year. The Bank of Canada’s decision last week to hold the policy rate was a welcome signal of stability, giving both buyers and sellers greater confidence to move forward with their real estate goals. For those who have been waiting on the sidelines, now is a great time to re-engage with the market.”

Kitchener Waterloo Market Snapshot March 2026

April 11th, 2026 by Riz Jadavji

“Sales activity in March continued to rebound month-over-month but dipped slightly on a year-over-year basis. The month of March also saw important announcements from the Federal and Ontario governments to remove the HST from most new homes, reduce development charges, and simplify the approvals process. These measures should encourage buyers to consider the new home market and support long-term supply,” says Bill Duce, CEO of Cornerstone. “Removing these fees will help more buyers enter the market, but further solutions, such as a down payment assistance program or increasing the provincial land transfer tax rebate, are needed to get more first-time buyers into the market.”

“Waterloo Region is showing resilience with a significant monthly increase in sales, potentially renewing seller confidence. The stable prices from January to February in Kitchener-Waterloo and a slight uptick in Cambridge HPI could signal the bottoming out of price declines we’ve seen over the past year and reflect a market adapting and finding its footing despite broader economic pressure.” – Bill Duce, Cornerstone CEO

Waterloo Region Housing Market Start in 2026

“Despite the monthly decrease in sales volume, Waterloo Region is showing encouraging signs with modest monthly price growth in both Kitchener-Waterloo and Cambridge. The doubling of new listings from December to January demonstrates renewed seller confidence, especially considering January’s challenging weather conditions that included significant snowstorms and periods of extreme cold that prompted weather warnings across the region.” – Bill Duce, Cornerstone CEO
