With a low crime rate and clean environment, Guelph is consistently rated as one of Ontario’s most livable cities. It has healthy household incomes and its 8.3% unemployment rate (close to the national average) is on a downward trend, mainly because Guelph has rolled out an Economic Development and Tourism Strategy, encouraging growth in key sectors such as the life sciences, biotechnology, agri-food firms, environmental and high-tech. Home prices average a reasonable $271,000 and over the past four years, a full 60% of all homes listed have sold, making it one of the best resale markets in Canada. Steady house price increases (2.7% last year) also help make it a market to consider when searching for a place to live or invest.
