The following information pertains exclusively to the luxury market (sales over $1,000,000). All statistics were obtained from the Kitchener-Waterloo Real Estate Board.
City Overview:
As we look back on 2019, we see that the Kitchener-Waterloo luxury market (over $1,000,000) continued to outperform other key markets located in southwestern Ontario and across the GTA.
The total number of sales over $1,000,000 increased by a staggering 38.2% – rising from just 89 sales in 2018 to 123 sales in 2019. The average days on market was 43 days, up from 41 in 2018.
Perhaps even more impressive was the rise in the number of new luxury listings in 2019. New listings rose by 58.1% to 408 in 2019. The average luxury sale price did decreased slightly from $1,296,956 in 2018 to $1,263,281 in 2019, the median sale price, however increased by 1.7% to $1,180,000 – up from $1,159,204 in 2018.
2020 Projections:
Based on the ongoing demand in the upper tier market it appears that the sales volume in 2020 will continue to rise as KW experiences more and more migration from Toronto and the GTA – particularly as public transit options continue to expand to support the region.
In a recent CBC interview Colleen Koehler, President of the Kitchener-Waterloo Association of Realtors (KWAR), called the city’s current state “a strong real estate market” and says she expects the trend to continue this year. In another article Colleen also noted that “with interest rates expected to stay low in the year ahead combined with Waterloo region’s ongoing growth, [she] expect[s] 2020 will see more price gains alongside a steady increase in sales”.

Green cabinets offer a refreshing change from white. For those who don't want to go too bold but still crave color in the kitchen, green is a surprisingly livable hue - whether it's a soft sage, a deep olive or somewhere in between.
