Press Release:
Sept 3, 2010: Home sales eased in August, but remain stable when you consider the exceptionally strong spring market experienced in Kitchener-Waterloo and area.
There were a total of 475 home sales through the Multiple Listing System (MLS®) of the Kitchener-Waterloo Real Estate Board (KWREB) in August, compared with 586 sales the same month one year ago, a decrease of 18.9 percent.
“It’s important to remember that 2010 got off to an exceptionally strong start”, says Ted Scharf, President of the KWREB. “In anticipation of the HST, and in response to tougher mortgage rules implemented in the spring, prospective homebuyers came out in droves in February and March. “
Despite the summer slowdown, on a year-to-date basis, the number of residential transactions is up 5.6 percent to 4,616 units compared to last year, making this the second best year on record to-date.
The above Kitchener Waterloo Real Estate Board Statistics are believed to be correct errors and ommissions accepted.

One of my favourite times of year is coming 10 days from now . If you like apples, pancakes, a smorgasboard, crafts, radio controlled boat races and pony rides then this will be a fun-filled day for you and the whole family. I have been to the ABC festival many times when I was young and as an adult. There is lots to see and do there. I love walking around looking at all of the activities and sampling the delicious food. There is also a friendly singing competition that is quite entertaining. Last year I saw an Elvis impersonator. I believe the weather was bad last year so I am really hoping that we get sun this year.
According to the official website, the ABC festival has been running for 25 years and was formed to help promote the local town of Wellesley. The event relies on local volunteers and is one of the most popular events in Waterloo County.
Proceeds of the festival help fund major projects. In the past the funds have been used to build an arena, buy parkland, build a ball diamond and soccer field and much more.
Wellesley is just a short 20-25 minute drive from K-W. Come checkout the Apple Butter And Cheese Festival on Sept 25, 2010
