CMHC research tracking 30 years of Canadian housing data found that Canadians over 75 have been leaving the housing market less with every passing decade since the early 1990s. That trend has only continued. Not because they want to stay, but because the decision involves so much more than the house. Family dynamics, finances, legal questions, and decades of life in one place all land at once. If your family is in this conversation right now, you are not alone and there is no wrong place to start. We have helped a lot of families work through it. Message us anytime.

What happened this week in Waterloo Region real estate? 👇

Home sales just had their slowest May in 15 years. If you're a buyer who's ready to move, that's actually good news. Less competition means more room to think it through.

Kitchener earned $8 million from the province for hitting its housing targets three years running. New homes keep coming to our area, which matters for supply and where prices head next.

If you're buying new construction, ask your builder about water capacity. A local issue could affect whether you qualify for the GST/HST Buyer Rebate, so it's worth the conversation early.

The Bank of Canada held its rate again, but the tone of their announcement hints at some bumpier roads ahead. Steady for now, though we're keeping an eye on it.

RBC reports Canada's housing markets picked up in May. Every market is different, but the trend is worth watching if you're a Waterloo Region seller weighing your timing.

Lots to unpack this week. Drop a comment if you want our take on any of these. 🏡

🏡 Waterloo Region Real Estate Update – May 2026
May is historically one of the busier months for real estate and this one was actually one of the quietest we have seen in about 15 years -- but the steady progress since January tells us the market is gradually finding its footing. There is opportunity on both sides right now -- some buyers are getting great deals while some sellers are still achieving top dollar. It really does depend on the property and the neighbourhood.
Here are a few highlights from May:
• 💰 Average sale price for all residential real estate: around $744,000 (down 5.8% year over year)
• ⏱️ Average days on market: 24 days -- unchanged year over year
• 📋 1,452 new listings came to market
• 🔑 627 homes sold through MLS
• 📦 4.0 months of inventory across all home types
Looking closer at property types:
🏠 Single-detached homes
• 361 homes sold
• Average price around $852,000
• 3.2 months of inventory
🏘 Semi-detached homes
• 41 homes sold
• Average price around $603,000
• 1.8 months of inventory -- the tightest segment in the market
🏢 Condos
• 53 units sold
• Average price around $410,000
• 8.9 months of inventory
🏘 Townhomes
• 106 homes sold
• Average price around $583,000
• 4.7 months of inventory
The market rewards the right strategy -- the right price, the right presentation, and a little patience. Well-priced homes are still getting good results across most segments.
🎥 Watch the short video for a quick breakdown of the numbers.
