Inventory remained tight at just 729 active listings, down 11 per cent from September and down 53.9 per cent from October 2015.
“A strong appetite for homeownership in Waterloo region combined with slimmer inventory levels means it’s still a sellers’ market,” commented Charlotte Zawada, president of the KWAR.
