1. In Guelph and Wellington County, sales are up 10.7% year over year even as prices pulled back 5.2%. Sellers are meeting the market to get deals done and that same give-and-take on their next purchase is what keeps the whole chain moving.
2. Across Waterloo Region, sales have softened in nearly every segment and prices have ticked down slightly. Buyers aren't under much pressure right now, and sellers are holding their ground on price.
3. Still looking for a way in? Condos continue to be the most accessible entry point for buyers right now. August saw an uptick in sale prices across the region but there are still great opportunities in these markets given the large supply.
4. Waterloo and Guelph continue to lead the way for median detached home sale prices sitting in the upper $700,000's
5. All areas continue to operate in a 'balanced' market in terms of Sale/New Listing ratio (meaning ~50% of the listings on the market are selling). If you are planning to go to MLS this fall, make sure your pricing, terms, and showing condition are dialled in to be in the selling group, not the sitting group
