Buyers, you’re in a better position than last year. Here’s why:

• More homes available means more choice and less pressure.

• Conditional offers are being accepted again—giving you a chance to do proper inspections and secure financing.

• Interest rates are dropping. Some lenders are offering insured mortgage rates as low as 3.65% on a 5-year fixed term. Great news if you’re a first-time homebuyer!

However, competition still exists, especially for:

• Turnkey homes

• Properties priced under $700,000

• Homes in desirable neighborhoods

If you’re financially stable and ready to make a move, now could be a smart time to enter the market.

The market is balanced, but not every home sells fast. What’s working right now:

• Homes that are well-priced, staged, and in good condition are getting more showings and offers.

• Multiple offers still happen—but only if the home is in a prime location and priced aggressively.

Many sellers are receiving offers with conditions (like inspections and financing), so flexibility is key. Price realistically and be open to negotiations. Patience and presentation matter more than ever.

In the past month, I helped four families successfully buy or sell homes. Each deal required:

• Multiple rounds of negotiation

• Conditional offers

• Flexibility on both price and terms

While homes are selling, it’s clear this market demands realistic expectations and expert guidance.

Despite fluctuations, Windsor Ontario, Essex County, and Chatham Ontario continue to offer opportunity for both home buyers and sellers. Whether you're upgrading, downsizing, or buying your first home, the key is understanding the numbers and working with someone who knows the local real estate market inside out.
