Cambridge, Ontario Overview 

After many inter-municipality qualms, the city of Cambridge, Ontario was founded just 48 years ago when the provincial government combined the former Blair, Hespeler, Preston, and Galt communities. Cambridge sits where the Speed River meets the Grand, and it has three unique historic commercial areas, thanks to the amalgamation. The city is part of the Waterloo Region and is the second-largest community in the area with an estimated population just shy of 149,530 (2021).

Cambridge, Ontario Real Estate

Cambridge is one of the province’s fastest-growing areas. The real estate market is touching all-time highs with an average price of $848,600 (in November 2021) up 38.7% compared to November 2020 after being on the market for only 12 days. Some attribute this rapid growth to the mass exodus of people leaving cities in pursuit of homeownership throughout 2020. 

The market has not cooled down since. Throughout the beginning of 2021, the city saw almost double the number of sales (at higher prices, too!) To cope with the mass influx of people, new listings continue to set records and keep the market sustainable. Nearly 60% of the properties are single detached homes (average price of a single-family homes was $867,700 - November 2021), while the rest are townhouses ( average price of a townhouse/row units was $631,400 November 2021) or small apartment (average price of an apartment price was $681,200 November 2021) buildings. Most of the occupants are homeowners
