📊🏡 BETTER LATE THAN NEVER! 👶😂
Turns out being a new dad means a little less time for spreadsheets, market reports, and crunching numbers… and a LOT more time changing diapers, and operating on questionable amounts of sleep. ☕️
But the real estate market doesn’t stop, and neither do I! 💪
So, without further ado, here’s your SEPTEMBER 2026 REAL ESTATE MARKET UPDATE! 🏡📈
And there are some pretty interesting numbers worth talking about. 👀
📍 GUELPH: Average sale prices climbed 4.9% to $893,853, while homes sold 14.3% faster!
📍 FERGUS: Prices dipped 2.3%, with sales activity down 31%.
📍 ELORA: Average sale prices dropped a whopping 31.2%!
😳 But before you panic, only 9 homes sold, so the types of properties changing hands can have a huge impact on that average.
📍 KITCHENER: Prices remained relatively steady, down just 0.6%, while homes sold 7.4% faster.
📍 WATERLOO: Prices increased 2.8%, but homes spent 35% longer on the market.
📍 CAMBRIDGE: Prices declined 4.8%, with total sales down 39.4%.
📉 THE BIG PICTURE?
Across the 13 municipalities I track, total sales dropped 15.7% month over month, from 695 transactions in August to 586 in September.
But here’s the thing…
Real estate isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is the market.
What’s happening in Guelph isn’t necessarily what’s happening in Fergus, Elora, or even the neighbourhood down the street.
🏡 BUYERS: There may be opportunities to negotiate, especially where properties are sitting longer.
🔑 SELLERS: Pricing strategically and presenting your home properly matters more than ever.
👀 HOMEOWNERS: Don’t let one headline or monthly average determine what you think your home is worth.
