Kitchener/Waterloo Market Update For February 2024
Since the start of the year, we’ve witnessed the Kitchener/Waterloo real estate sales, gaining momentum as we step into February. February sales have surpassed January’s figures. Simultaneously, we’ve observed a 4.3% decrease in the average number of homes available on the market.
Although prices experienced a slight dip of 3% in February, I’m optimistic this will change. Tighter inventory coupled with increasing buyer activity suggests a potential price uptick come March. Indeed, 2024 is shaping into a much healthier market than 2023.
The Bank of Canada (BoC) has held steady at 5% for the past six announcements. Analysts are specule rate cut as early as April or June.
As interest rates decrease, we can anticipate a surge in housing prices due to heightened buyer demand and limited inventory. This presents an excellent opportunity for first-time homebuyers and investors alike. Acting before this shift occurs could be advantageous.
For those considering selling, the days on the market have decreased from 31 to 25, indicating a swift turnaround. Additionally, the average sale price to list price ratio has risen to 100%, showcasing the strength of the seller’s market. However, it’s crucial to ensure your property is priced competitively for optimal results.
