With demand continuing to be high and inventory low, it may be trickier in this seller's market to identify good real estate deals. This week, we take a look at condos under $375,000 and share a few reasons why we think these units would make good investments.

With a number of developments including the new transit hub, set to be completed over the next few years, we expect to continue to see major transformation to the Downtown Kitchener core.
