In this update of the Kitchener-Waterloo real estate market, we look at Coronavirus and it’s impact on:
1. Number of showings,
2. Average sale price

The total number of homes available for sale in active status at the end of February was 447, a decrease of 39.4% compared to February 2019.
This is 62% below the previous ten-year average of 1,179 listings for February.
The number of Months Supply (also known as absorption rate) in February was just 0.9 months, 40% per cent below the same period last year.
The previous ten-year average supply of homes for February was 2.55 months, and in the past 5 years the average supply for February was 1.76 months.
Six weeks into the year and there is either a lot of activity or not much happening depending on your budget range.
The key takeaways from this update:
1) Homes are selling for an average of 10% over list price
2) 10% of the homes selling are not waiting for offer night. They are instigating BULLY OFFERS
3) High priced homes and mid priced homes are slow to come to the market.
Other takeaways:
1) Almost everything that was listed in January is now already sold.
2) The LP/SP ratio rose by 2%. But that can be explained by seasonality.
