Frequently Asked Questions

How often is the market report updated?

Listing data syncs from the MLS daily, and the report's snapshot statistics recompute weekly, with month-over-month comparisons against the prior month. The page shows the latest snapshot of active listings in Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge.

What does 'Days on Market' mean?

Days on Market (DOM) measures how long a property has been listed for sale. A lower DOM typically indicates a seller's market with high demand, while a higher DOM may suggest a buyer's market or overpriced listings. Timing your listing around these swings matters — see our guide to the best time to sell in Kitchener-Waterloo.

Why do prices vary so much between areas?

Home prices in Kitchener-Waterloo vary based on factors like neighbourhood desirability, school districts, proximity to tech employers, lot sizes, and home ages. Waterloo often commands higher prices due to proximity to the universities and tech corridor. Our neighbourhood guides break down what each area offers and what homes there typically cost.
