Waterloo Region Home Sales for November 2025

 

WATERLOO REGION, ON (December 4, 2025) —In November, a total of 465 homes were sold in the Waterloo Region via the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) System of the Cornerstone Association of REALTORS® (Cornerstone). This represents a 14.8 per cent decrease compared to the same period last year and a decline of nearly 25 per cent compared to the average number of homes sold in the previous ten years for the same month.

“We saw a continued cooling of the housing market in November with sales down nearly 15 percent year-over-year and prices adjusting accordingly,” says Christal Moura, spokesperson for the Waterloo Region market. “While seasonal slowdowns are expected at this time of year, softer demand has contributed to higher inventory levels than we’ve seen in some time. These conditions offer a real opportunity for first-time buyers. Increased inventory and longer days on the market allow buyers to explore options thoroughly and, with their REALTOR®’s expertise, negotiate from a stronger position. The combination of Waterloo region being a highly desirable place to live and the lower interest rates makes me hopeful that buyers will be coming off the sidelines in the year ahead.”

Total residential sales in November included 274 detached homes (down 18.0 per cent from November 2024), and 91 townhouses (down 20.9 per cent). Sales also included 59 condominium units (up 11.3 per cent) and 41 semi-detached homes (down 6.8 per cent).
