Windsor, Essex County and Chatham Real Estate Market Update – July 2025 Insights with Kris Ramotar

Changing Market, Real Opportunity: What July Means for Windsor, Essex County, and Chatham

If you’ve been following real estate headlines in Windsor, Essex County, or Chatham, you might think the only story is about prices going down. But the real—and overlooked—news? Home sales are up, competition is healthy, choices are growing, and both buyers and sellers are finding their footing again.

As a local realtor here in Windsor, Essex County, and Chatham, I’m Kris Ramotar, and I know it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by mixed signals. Is now a good time to buy or sell? Let’s break it down together.

July 2025 At a Glance

• Over 500 homes sold in July—a 3.5% jump from last year, making this the busiest July in recent memory for local families.

• The average home price settled at $592,000, about $10,000 below last summer—a subtle dip creating better entry points for cautious buyers.

• With more than 2,100 homes now on the market, there are more choices than we’ve seen in years—without bidding wars spiraling out of control.

• While year-to-date sales are still catching up, the increase in market activity (up almost 13%) shows confidence and momentum on both sides of the transaction.

Buyers: Why This Market Is Your Window

For anyone looking for a home in Windsor, Essex County, or Chatham, 2025 is balancing in your favor. More selection, steadier prices, and less frenzy. You’re less likely to find homes selling $100,000-plus over asking, and with inventory up, you can take time to compare—without feeling rushed into a risky bet. If you’ve waited before, you might find this is your moment.

Sellers: Good Homes Still Win

If you’re thinking about selling, don’t be scared by headlines about softer prices. Well-prepared, realistically priced homes still attract strong offers. I just ran an open house for a local family, after deep cleaning, staging, and professional video walkthroughs, we were fielding multiple offers within days. The key? Preparation and the right pricing strategy.

• Homes that show well, photograph beautifully, and are priced for today’s market are attracting smart buyers who have done their homework.

My Local Advice

• Buyers: Focus on properties that align with your needs and budget; don’t play games. Work with an agent who will actively filter out listings that “list low” just to stir bidding.

• Sellers: Invest in prepping and staging; even a little effort can mean thousands more in your pocket. Don’t cut corners on professional marketing—quality stands out more than ever.

Why Pick the Right Agent Matters

Real talk: Not every agent is equal. Choose somebody who has integrity, real local experience, strong negotiation skills, and glowing reviews from past clients. I pride myself on giving my clients the same advice I’d give my own family—and I’m always transparent about where the market truly is right now.
