Waterloo Region Housing Market Ends 2025 with Rising Inventory and Declining Sales

Waterloo Region Housing Market: 2025 Year in Review

2025 was a year of adjustment for the Waterloo Region real estate market. We saw an increase in new listings paired with softening sales and longer times on the market.

Key Takeaways from 2025: 

Sales Activity: Total sales were down 8.8% compared to 2024. 

Average Price: The annual average sale price for all properties settled at $754,199 (a 3.7% decrease). 

December Snapshot: The average price in December was $716,911—down year-over-year, but showing a slight 0.5% nudge upward from November.

Looking Ahead to 2026: With new government incentives on the horizon—like the removal of HST on new homes up to $1M for first-time buyers—we’re anticipating a more stable and accessible market.
