Guelph home prices barely moved in July. But three numbers tell you what actually changed:
Detached homes: 19 days to sell → 26 days.
Semis & townhomes: 27 days → 50 days.
Condos: 44 days on average.
Prices held. Patience is what buyers and sellers are actually negotiating with now.

Canada has a new national housing developer — and it's not a company.
Toronto just landed $2.7 billion and 5,600 new rental homes this week. Most of that is financing for private builders. Some of it puts government on city-owned land as the landlord.
Before you assume where I land on this — I'm pro-building, all the way. We need way more supply, and I've said that on this page for a long time.
But if government's taking on a bigger role in housing, it should have to answer the same questions any landlord does. Toronto's own Auditor General just reported more than half the city's public housing stock is rated poor or critical. One building sat empty for 18 years while 100,000+ people waited for a unit.
This isn't just a Toronto story — Build Canada Homes has a national mandate, which means Guelph's turn is a matter of when, not if.
So genuinely — how comfortable are you with government financing, owning, building, and in some cases operating your city's housing supply? Step in the right direction, or a bigger problem down the road?

New listing in Kortright Hills — 1 Teal Drive. Six bedrooms, three and a half baths, and over 3,500 square feet finished across three levels, including a primary ensuite with a freestanding soaker tub and a basement that adds two more bedrooms plus its own bathroom. Then there's the backyard — an inground pool, a hot tub, and a gazebo-covered seating area, all set on a corner lot with extra yard space to spare. This one's got a lot going on. DM me for a private showing.

Your Saturday mornings just changed. 🌅
Meet Unit 309 at 5 Gordon St — Market Commons, right in the heart of downtown Guelph.
Step onto your private Juliette balcony and look straight down over the Guelph Farmers' Market, running every Saturday with fresh food and local vendors. Coffee lovers, take note: Balzac's is on the main level of your own building, and Found Coffee — the Australian café everyone's talking about — is two doors down.
Inside, this 650 sq ft, 1 bed, 1 bath suite is laid out smarter than most units twice its size. White kitchen, stainless steel appliances, subway tile backsplash, and a wide-open living/dining space that actually functions.
Walk to the downtown core. Walk to the Basilica of Our Lady. Walk to pretty much everything.
1 parking spot included. Condo fee covers building insurance, common elements, and water.
First-time buyer? Young couple? Parent looking to set your U of G student up before the fall semester? This one's worth a look.

Everyone's heard the housing crisis story: too many people, not enough homes. The newest numbers just flipped that on its head.
Canada's population dropped for a third straight quarter — driven by immigration policy, not the economy. Here in Guelph, the City's already prepping for when demand returns. But there's a real gap between what's approved and what's actually getting built.
So the number worth watching isn't how many homes are "unlocked" on paper. It's whether the city can build fast enough if this reverses. Worth having on hand for the next time someone tells you it's simply about too many people, not enough homes.

Global News obtained handwritten notes from inside Ontario's housing ministry — and one line says a lot.
The province promised 1.5 million new homes by 2031. Guelph's share of that plan is 18,000 homes. The city says it's unlocked capacity for close to 22,800 units — but capacity isn't construction. About 3,300 units have been approved since 2024, and roughly 1,250 have permits.
If Queen's Park is quietly backing off its own number... what is Guelph actually supposed to be planning for?

University of Guelph student housing has some parents asking a bigger question: rent for four years—or buy a condo in Guelph? The Globe and Mail recently profiled a family that toured roughly 30 rentals while searching for housing for their child. Many were in poor condition. The better ones disappeared before they could act. Eventually, the family changed direction and bought a condo near the university. Buying won’t make sense for everyone. But the calculation goes beyond comparing rent with a mortgage payment. You have to consider four years of rent, financing costs, condo fees, maintenance, resale risk and whether the property could remain a rental after graduation. And a correction from Part 1: Guelph’s vacancy rate is no longer 1.5%. The more current figure is in the mid-to-high 2% range. The market has loosened, but desirable student housing can still move quickly.

If your child needed housing in Guelph for four years, would you rent—or seriously consider buying? Source: The Globe and Mail — “Guelph loft sells for asking as parents choose ownership over student rent.”

Guelph rent didn't get this high by accident — and it wasn't your landlord.
The University of Guelph dropped its first-year residence guarantee, admitted 1,300 more students than it had beds for, and put the reason in writing: their own bottom line. The rental market picked up the tab — students, families, everyone.
There are still hundreds of kids on the waitlist this summer.
Fair question for Guelph: should the university be on the hook to fix this, or is this just how it goes now?
And if you're a parent with a student heading here in September — shoot me a message. I'll show you what the rent-vs-buy math looks like before the scramble peaks.
