Key Points

- The Waterloo Region housing market is cooling down with a decline in sales activity and average home prices, although certain sectors like condos and semi-detached homes are still showing growth.
- Alta West Capital's acquisition of Premiere Home Mortgage signifies a strategic consolidation in the alternative lending sector, aiming to enhance market presence and better serve borrowers who fall outside the traditional banking system.
