Despite a slower pace this month, many homes that are turnkey, well-located, and priced right are still attracting multiple offers. Buyers are cautious but active, especially those with secure jobs, good credit, and a strong financial foundation. Lower interest rates and possible Bank of Canada rate cuts are creating new opportunities.

If you’re a first-time homebuyer in Windsor Ontario or Chatham Ontario, this could be your moment to get into the market. With some properties lingering on the market longer, you may have room to negotiate.

Homes that are clean, well-staged, move-in ready, and realistically priced continue to perform well. Some homes sell in days, while others take weeks. Sellers must be patient and flexible. Pricing is key. If your home doesn’t sell within the first 7–10 days, consider a strategic price adjustment.

Recent success stories with clients showed that homes priced slightly under market value generated strong interest and sold with multiple offers. Properties priced too high? They’re sitting.

Although some believe Windsor's market might crash, the data suggests otherwise. We're not building enough affordable homes, and demand in the $399,000 to $700,000 range remains strong. Even homes priced over $900,000 are selling when they're in prime locations and show well.

Plus, with fewer new builds and an increase in buyers from outside the region, especially those relocating to Essex County and Chatham Ontario, the resale market is highly competitive.

Whether you’re looking to buy or sell in Windsor Ontario, Essex County, or Chatham Ontario, the most important thing is to work with a local real estate expert who understands the nuances of this market. I’ve helped hundreds of families navigate these shifting conditions with honesty, patience, and strategy.

If you’re a buyer: Now may be the best time to make your move before the market heats up.

If you’re a seller: Be realistic. Price your home to attract the right buyer and be open to negotiations.
