June 28, 2019 Sales Summary

The roller coaster in the Guelph real estate market continues. 

54 homes were reported sold this past week in Guelph and the surrounding townships.  Not a bad week, but still only 81% of the sales the last week of June 2018. 

Why the difference?  

Good question.  In my opinion it’s part of the natural rhythm of the real estate marketplace.  Earlier in the month sales outpaced the same period last year by equal or greater amounts.  So a week that falls behind is not outside normal and quite frankly can be expected.  

Year over year the Guelph real estate market is leading the region in terms of the number of sales. 18% increase over 2018, while Cambridge is up just over 14%, Kitchener just over 5% and Waterloo is down by almost 2%.  Very healthy growth in sales numbers and volume for most of the region.  

The June numbers will be ready for next Friday’s report and I don’t expect to see the market continue to hold steam and grow.  No surprises, which is good.
