Cambridge, nestled along the Grand River in Southern Ontario, is a thriving community known for its historic architecture, vibrant neighborhoods, and convenient access to the Kitchener-Waterloo corridor. According to the 2021 Census, Cambridge has approximately 138,000 residents, offering a mix of urban amenities and suburban charm.
Between 2016 and 2021, the city grew by 5–6%, fueled by new housing developments, local business growth, and migration from surrounding areas. This steady expansion highlights the value of professional home inspections for buyers and sellers navigating Cambridge’s dynamic real estate market.
Cambridge’s housing market features a variety of property types suited for diverse buyers:
From historic homes in Galt to modern subdivisions in Hespeler and Preston, each property type comes with unique inspection considerations. Crooker Hancox tailors inspections to ensure safety, structural integrity, and peace of mind for every buyer and seller.
Most homes in Cambridge were built between 1975 and 1985, making many properties 35–45 years old and often in need of updates to electrical, plumbing, roofing, and insulation systems. At the same time, newer developments in areas like Hespeler, Preston, and Galt have introduced modern homes, creating a wide range of inspection needs throughout the city.
