Kitchener Waterloo Market Snapshot January 2026

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
