Kitchener Waterloo Real Estate News
August 15 2018
Wednesday August 15 2018. In this week’s Kitchener Waterloo Real Estate News: already talking about Autumn, T.O. to waterloo, vacation properties, things movers don’t like to move, lighten up and sell, the Great Gatsby curve, India’s first Ikea, gone fishing…
No news is good news. No listings is bad news.
There doesn’t seem to be a lot of news this week. News has dried up as the end of the middle of summer, the trough, the dog days of summer, summer itself wains, morphs into Autumn.

The Autumn real estate market is usually a mini-spring market and although it seems too early to start talking about Autumn now, I mention it because a lot of home sellers wait until after Labour Day to list.
That’s something to look forward to.

Gone, but not forgotten
I’m leaving next week on a little end-of-summer holiday. Typically, every holiday is a working holiday for me so I will be connected to my clients and local real estate from afar and at home I have a couple of colleagues filling in. Yeah, it takes two to do what I do, haha.
