Waverley, Guelph - October 2026 Real Estate Report
Waverley, Guelph: Your Neighbour Just Asked What Their House Is Worth - Here Is the Real Answer
If you live in Waverley and you have been wondering whether to sell, hold, or just keep an eye on things, here is the straight story. No fluff, no spin - just what the numbers are actually telling us right now.
The Vibe: What Is Happening in Our Neighbourhood
Waverley is not crashing. It is not on fire either. It is doing what a mature Guelph neighbourhood does - it is holding its ground while the market figures itself out. Here is how houses and condos are each telling a slightly different story.
Houses in Waverley
If you have been watching the "For Sale" signs on our streets, here is what is actually happening. The average sale price for houses is sitting at $1,375,000, and listings are coming in around $1,439,900. That gap matters. Buyers are paying about 95.5 cents on every listed dollar, which means sellers are not getting full ask. That is a buyers' market signal, and it is worth knowing before you price your home.
- Average HonestDoor Price: $855,584 (down 0.15% from last period)
- Average sale price: $1,375,000
- Average list price this month: $1,439,900
- Price per square foot: $1,310
- Sale-to-list ratio: 95.49% - buyers are paying below ask
- Average days on market: 32 days
- Properties sold last month: 1
- Rental estimate: $3,786 per month
- Rental yield: 4.97%
- Airbnb estimate: $188 per night
- Growth rank: 7 out of 22 neighbourhoods in Guelph - above average
- Days-on-market rank: 5 out of 6 - homes are moving slowly here
- Price rank: 1 out of 5 - among the most expensive in Guelph
That days-on-market rank is the one to watch. Sitting at 5 out of 6 means our houses are among the slowest sellers in the city right now. Thirty-two days is not a crisis, but it is a heads-up. Buyers have options, and they know it. On the growth leaderboard though, we are holding a solid 7th out of 22 - that is a respectable spot, and it tells us Waverley is not losing ground compared to most of Guelph.
Condos in Waverley
The condo picture is a bit more of a mixed bag for us. Values have dipped 4.54% recently, which is the kind of move that gets your attention. The HonestDoor Price for condos is averaging $482,476, and the 3-month trend is pointing slightly downward. On the neighbourhood growth leaderboard, condos here rank 15th out of 23 - that puts us in below-average territory for Guelph right now.
- Average HonestDoor Price: $482,476 (down 4.54% from last period)
- Predicted market value: $505,406
- 3-month moving average: $506,716 - values are easing
- Recent value change: up 0.88%
- Rental estimate: $2,355 per month
- Rental yield: 3.86%
- Airbnb estimate: $117 per night
- Growth rank: 15 out of 23 neighbourhoods in Guelph - below average
- Airbnb rank in Guelph: 18th
One small bright spot - our condos are priced almost identically to Exhibition Park next door ($505,406 vs. $500,788), so we are not losing the comparison game with our closest neighbour. But if you own a condo in Waverley and you have been sitting on the idea of selling, the trend is worth taking seriously.
The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment Right Now
Here is something most homeowners do not think about until it is too late. Your city assessment is a snapshot from the past. It does not know what happened in the market last quarter, last month, or last week. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling from actual sales and current market signals - not a government office playing catch-up.
For houses in Waverley, the HonestDoor Price is $855,584. Your tax assessment is almost certainly a different number - and probably not a more accurate one. If you are thinking about refinancing, listing, or just want to know where you actually stand, the HonestDoor Price is the real-world check that your assessment simply cannot give you. Check yours now, because the market is moving and static numbers do not protect your equity.
The So What - Should You Sell in Waverley This Summer?
Straight talk: if you own a house in Waverley and you are thinking about selling this summer, you have a window - but you need to go in with clear eyes. Homes are sitting for about 32 days on average and buyers are negotiating below list price. That means your pricing strategy has to be sharp from day one. Overpricing right now is not a negotiating tactic - it is a way to sit on the market and watch your leverage shrink.
The rental yield on houses is nearly 5%, which is genuinely solid. If selling is not urgent, holding and renting is a real option worth running the numbers on.
For condo owners, the 4.54% dip in HonestDoor Price is a signal to pay attention. If you were planning to sell in the next 6 to 12 months, sooner may serve you better than later while values find their floor.
Bottom line for all of us in Waverley - this is not a panic moment. It is a "know your numbers" moment. Pull your HonestDoor Price, compare it to what is actually selling on your street, and make a decision based on real data - not what your neighbour thinks their house is worth.
