Real Estate Investment in Waterloo Region Remains Strong

 For those of us fortunate enough to be living or working in the community we call the CTT, it came as little surprise when the Real Estate Investment Network recently ranked Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge as the #2 location in its annual list of “Where To Buy” in Canada.
