What the numbers mean if you're downsizing
Fewer bungalows came up this October than last. 174 new listings, against 197 a year ago. That's about one in eight fewer to choose from. If you see one that fits, it pays to be ready: know what your current home is worth and what you can spend before you go see it.
Fewer sold, at a higher middle price. 86 bungalows sold, down from 108. The median sale was $722,500, about 5% higher than last October's $690,000.
Most sold a little under asking. The typical bungalow sold for about 98.8% of its list price. About one in four sold over asking (24 of 86). Last October it was about one in three.
The pace hasn't changed. On average a bungalow took 28 days to sell, the same as a year ago.
If you're selling a two-storey to buy a bungalow, both sides matter. The same market that sets your bungalow price sets your sale price too. That's why we always look at both together before anyone makes a move.

Waterloo bungalows
Waterloo is the smallest of the three cities for bungalows. 25 came up for sale this October, down from 36, and 18 sold. The median sold price was $750,950. With fewer than 20 sales in a month, one or two sales can move that number a lot, so treat it as a rough guide.

Styles. 205 are the classic one-floor bungalow. 55 are raised bungalows, where the main floor sits up a half flight of stairs, so check the steps if stairs are the reason you're moving. Only 14 are bungalofts, which add a loft upstairs for guests or grandkids with the main bedroom still on the main floor.
