“Sales activity in the Hamilton-Burlington area market saw a pullback in July, with an 11.0% decline year-over-year, while new listings also continued to tighten, falling 17.6% compared to the same period last year,” said Bill Duce, CEO of Cornerstone. “At 4.6 months of supply, inventory remains high by Hamilton-Burlington’s historical standards, giving buyers more choice and creating more buyer-friendly conditions than we have typically seen in this market. However, affordability challenges continue to temper demand, with many prospective buyers still cautious despite improved selection. The MLS® Home Price Index continues to show modest adjustments, down 4.9% year-over-year, which may present some opportunities for buyers who have been waiting on the sidelines. As always, market conditions can vary significantly from neighbourhood to neighbourhood, which is why it’s important to work with a local REALTOR®.”

"Norfolk County’s market showed greater resilience than other areas in July, with only three fewer sales than in the previous month, and a 3.2% decline compared to the same period last year,” said Bill Duce, CEO of Cornerstone. “While the number of new listings that came online in July was lower than the previous month, there was a 7.9% increase from July 2025. The months’ supply has climbed 29.0% year-over-year to 8.9 months, the highest level on record for Norfolk County. The MLS® Home Price Index declined 3.9% year-over-year, though the average sale price remains slightly above last year’s levels. Homes are selling more quickly than they were a year ago, suggesting that well-priced properties are attracting motivated buyers. Norfolk County continues to have its own distinct market, which is why working with a local REALTOR® who understands the area is the best way for buyers and sellers to navigate the evolving landscape.”

"Home sales are still running well below typical levels for this time of year. On the listings side, new supply took a notable step down at the beginning of the year and has been trending lower since that time," said Bill Duce, CEO of Cornerstone. "Local market conditions have seen some improvement over last year as the balance has gradually shifted from deep buyer’s territory back to an almost balanced range. However, overall inventories remain historically elevated, and it will take a stronger rebound in demand, lower new supply, or a combination of both to anchor the market back in a balanced position."

“Sales activity in Waterloo Region was sluggish in July, down 12.2% month-over-month and 10.0% compared to the same period last year. New listings also pulled back significantly, down 14.3% on a year-over-year basis; however, they were in line with the previous ten-year average for the month,” said Bill Duce, CEO of Cornerstone. “At 3.9 months, Waterloo Region had the lowest months of supply across our market areas, but inventory remained well above the 10-year July average of 1.92 months. This means buyers had more choice than is typical for this time of year, even as new listings moderated. The MLS® Home Price declined moderately across the region, as well as the average sale price, which was down 3.8% year-over-year. Whether you’re buying or selling, Waterloo Region has distinct communities that each tell their own story, and partnering with a local REALTOR® is an important first step to help you make an informed decision.”
