March had the first decrease in active listings in over 4 years. Unit sales were also up nearly 20% from last year... the first significant increase in YoY sales in 4 years as well. Inventory is declining... sales are increasing... prices have remained stable but we are getting close to a balanced market place and prices should start to edge upwards slightly starting soon. This could be the sweet spot for Buyers.... still lots to choose from before inventory gets tighter and prices rise. For Sellers who have been waiting.. looks like there are brighter horizons for a fair value sale this spring if the strong trending continues.

Happy New Year.
Just below is the Regional update for what 2024 was like for Waterloo Region Real Estate. Not one for the record books... but solidly trending to a more positive place for Sellers and Buyers for 2025. Interest rates are falling, mortgage rules are relaxing and making payments more affordable for first time buyers, and with a general increase in sales it allows for more transactions to take place. Upgreaders and Dowsizers can have more confidence that they will sell their current properties and be able to buy their targets.
Cottage and recreational properties in Muskoka Parry S ound area are lagging behind in the rebound that is starting in Southern Ontario. Great opportunity for early buyers to snag a deal if you are looking for a cottage or country proprerty.
If you have been thinking about real estate but put those thoughts on hold in 2024... its time to start thinking again.

"Although the number of homes sold in 2024 was still well below long-term averages, the final three months of the year showed a significant increase in sales," says Christal Moura, a spokesperson for Cornerstone in the Waterloo Region market. "This increase coincided with lower interest rates, which...

Is it prime time for buyers? YES. Below graph shows that inventory levels are at the highest levels in the past 8 years. Especially in cottage country.

Prices have levelled and stabilized in most of the province but have had recent pronounced decreases in cottage country with high levels of inventory and low demand (down 12% YoY).

Interest rates have dropped for 3rd consecutive time and likley will continue to drop.

In other words perfect shopping conditions... for investors, cottage buyers. negotiate hard, do proper due diligence, get the best financing in a controlled and easy pace.

Avoid up to 33% increase in capital gains tax by selling right now.

If you have a rental property, recreational property, cottage or secondary home you were planning to sell in the near future Now is the time... and I mean right now.

Trudeau has increased the capital gains tax that would apply to all property sales except your personal residence. To avoid this increase we need to sell and close the deal before 25 June 2024. Still possible to be done and could save you tens of thousands of dollars.

Realtors say now could be a good time to buy — or sell
