In February, a total of 363 homes were sold in the Waterloo Region via the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) System of the Cornerstone Association of REALTORS® (Cornerstone). This represents a 26.1 per cent decrease compared to the same period last year and a decline of 38.8 per cent compared to the average number of homes sold in the previous ten years for the same month.

“While February’s home sales were affected by concerns over tariffs and their potential impact on employment, the market showed some encouraging signs. We saw a steady increase in new listings while prices remained stable,” notes Christal Moura, spokesperson for the Waterloo Region market. “The month’s significant snowfall created practical challenges for buyers and sellers, affecting property viewings and transactions. However, I am seeing positive indicators in the market, with consistent attendance at open houses, pre-listing appointments, steady mortgage pre-approvals, and buyers on the sidelines carefully watching for the right opportunity to make their move.”
