Despite headlines and speculation, Windsor’s housing market continues to perform. With listings and buyer activity holding strong, demand remains particularly high for well-priced, move-in ready properties.

A few concerns about a "market crash" have circulated. While we may see some price adjustments due to economic factors like tariffs or job loss, Windsor simply isn’t building enough affordable new homes to cause a significant drop in value. Most new builds are priced above $700,000, which pushes more demand into the resale market.

As a local real estate agent, I’ve seen firsthand how competitive the resale market can be. Families are looking for homes in good neighborhoods with reasonable prices. That makes your well-maintained resale home more desirable than ever.

1. Be Ready to Compete – Homes that are turnkey, priced right, and in great locations are attracting multiple offers.

2. Use Data to Guide Decisions – I always recommend comparing sales in the same neighborhood and relying on real numbers.

3. Buy What You Love – You should feel good when you walk into your home. If you love it, it’s worth fighting for.

4. Negotiate When You Can – Not every home is selling over asking. Some higher-priced homes leave room for negotiation.

• Showcase Your Home – Clean, declutter, and make simple updates to attract serious buyers.

• Price It Strategically – Aggressive pricing can draw in more buyers, but avoid listing too low. Balance is key.

• Patience Pays Off – Your home might not sell the first time, but with the right adjustments, the second time may be your success.

• Expect Conditional Offers – Not every offer is firm, but many are. Know what conditions you’re comfortable accepting.

This month, I worked with a young first-time home buyer who finally found the perfect place. We negotiated back and forth, and she got the deal done at a price she was happy with. It’s all about finding the right fit for your life and finances.

Another client listed her home twice. The first round brought no offers, but we relisted at a fair price and received a firm, clean offer with ideal terms. The home sold with minimal stress because we stayed realistic and patient.

The Windsor, Essex County, and Chatham Ontario real estate markets are stable. While conditions change, your decision to buy or sell should always be based on what makes sense for you. I'm here to give honest, personalized advice — no pressure.
