Condos/ townhouses/ stacked townhouses:

Of the 26 units that sold:

$365,500 was the low price

$1,080,000 was the high price

Overall average was just over $578,000 (trend is decreasing)

Total homes sold at an average of 97.1% of the original asking

2 of the 26 units sold over asking (8%)

1 sold at the asking (4%)

23 sold under the asking (88%)

This is consistent with our predictions for this segment, in particular the stacked townhouse segment that is strugging with oversupply. The supply should increase over the next few months as warmer weather returns and many projects complete. Ths will continue for years with a number of projects in all areas of Guelph coming to completion. Of course, this isn't EVERY unit, it's just overall.

If you're a buyer in this segment, you have more power than you've had in years to negotiate. However, sellers still have expectations on sale prices vs recent comparables.

The overall % of asking remains consistent at arounf 97% of asking. This means that on average, there is 3% negotiation room on the asking prior. However, it's to be noted that this is an average and not an expectation. The % asking is also calculated from the last posted listing price, not the original listing price.
