By Warren McNeil,

There are many homes styles out there but one style seems to be really standing out lately. I can’t believe the number of requests I have received in the last week from people wanting to see bungalows. The bungalow home style is single story. What makes the bungalow style so appealing is that all the bedrooms are on the main floor. However finding newer bungalows in Kitchener-Waterloo can be quite challenging. The reason why they are hard to find is because bungalows require a certain lot size. Builders are building 2-story houses on smaller plots of land. That way they can sell more houses.  If you want a new construction bungalow, you could end up paying a premium. Right now there are 15 new construction bungalows in K-W ranging in price from $408,000-1,3000,000. If you are looking for resale bungalows in Kitchener Waterloo, there are currently 152 for sale starting at 169,900-1,700,000. The median price of these 152 bungalows is $299,900.

Buyers looking for newer bungalows might want to look towards the smaller towns outside of Kitchener-Waterloo. Towns such as Drayton, New Hamburg, Wellesley, Baden and Elmira just to name a few. You can sometimes find really good value when you look in the smaller town.

If a bungalow is what you are after, there are plenty available. You might need to look at resale bungalows if you can’t find what you are looking for. If you want a really good bang for your buck then look at buying a bungalow in a smaller community.
