Housing prices continue to reach new heights in the area, according to the Kitchener Waterloo Association of Realtors, as the organization says that on average, a home sold for $821,969 in November.
“Despite some speculation of there being a housing market correction in store for Waterloo Region, sustained home-buying demand combined with a record low level of inventory in November produced continued price growth,” new KWAR president Megan Bell stated.
This represents a two per cent increase over October’s average price of $841,764, which was a six per cent rise over September ($792,599).
