Sold Highlights – What’s Moving in Windsor-Essex Under and Over $500K

In April 2025, 281 homes sold across Windsor-Essex. And while we often talk about averages, breaking it down by price point shows where the true activity is happening.

Under $500K: 171 Sales

Affordability is still driving the market — over 60% of all sales in April were for homes under $500K. This segment is especially popular with:

• First-time buyers taking advantage of higher inventory

• Downsizers making cash purchases

• Investors scooping up solid rental stock in neighbourhoods like Remington Park, Ford City, and Walkerville

Tip: Homes in this range tend to sell fastest and often attract multiple offers when priced right — even in a buyer-leaning market.

Over $500K: 110 Sales

Higher-end activity is more selective, but still strong. These sales typically reflect:

• Custom homes in Russell Woods, East Riverside, and LaSalle

• Larger family homes with recent upgradesc

• Turnkey properties in move-in condition

Buyers in this range are shopping carefully — they’re willing to wait or negotiate, especially if a home is overpriced or lacks presentation.

Tip: Properties over $500K need to shine online and in-person. Staging, photography, and pricing strategy are everything.

The Big Picture:

• Under $500K: Still the hot zone. More sales, more movement, more competition.

• Over $500K: Quality is key. Buyers are cautious but active.

• Overall: Windsor-Essex continues to offer real choice across all budgets — especially compared to the GTA.

  
  

Play to Local Demand (Not the National Headlines)

Yes, it’s a buyer’s market — in general. But Windsor-Essex is made up of micro-markets where some price bands and neighbourhoods are still attracting steady attention.

For example:

• Homes under $450K in Walkerville, East Windsor, and parts of South Walkerville are still moving with the right marketing push.

• Bungalows, renovated semis, and homes with income potential are always in demand.
