Cornerstone Association of REALTORS - Waterloo Region

The statistics provided in this report are based on information from the ITSO MLS® System. Multiple MLS® Systems operate within Ontario, and while none can be guaranteed to include every property listed or sold within a given area, they effectively illustrate market trends.

“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.”
