🟪✨ Windsor-Essex July 2026 Market Stats ✨🟪
☀️ Summer is in full swing… but the housing market still isn’t.
💰 Average Sale Price: $546,739 — down 7% from July 2025 ($587,740) and down 3% from June 2026 ($566,103). Prices continue to soften as affordability concerns and economic uncertainty weigh on buyers.
🏠 470 homes sold — down 13% from July 2025 (538) and down 1% from June 2026 (476). That marks 12 consecutive months of year-over-year sales declines, confirming that buyers continue to take a cautious approach.
📋 New Listings: 1,228 — down 9% from July 2025 (1,352) and down 7% from June 2026 (1,318). While fewer homes came to market this month, inventory remains healthy enough to give buyers plenty of choice.
📉 On July 15, the Bank of Canada held interest rates once again, continuing its cautious approach. The next rate announcement comes September 2.
⚠️ The headlines continue:
• Trump announced 50% tariffs targeting Canadian motor vehicles, alcohol, and dairy products under Section 338.
• Tariffs remain a major concern for Windsor-Essex’s manufacturing economy.
• Buyers remain cautious despite stable borrowing costs.
🏡 What I’m seeing locally tells two very different stories.
Many listings are sitting for weeks with very few showings, which often means no offers.
Then you have the opposite…
A beautifully updated home in Riverside listed at $299,000 generated 22 offers and ultimately sold for $412,255. 😳
The lesson? The market rewards accurate pricing. Price where buyers see value, and they’ll compete. Price like it’s still 2022, and you’ll likely be waiting.
🎯 Buyers:
✅ There are deals to be found.
✅ Don’t be afraid to negotiate on stale listings.
✅ But when the right home is priced correctly… move quickly.
🎯 Sellers:
✅ Today’s first price is your best marketing tool.
✅ Overpricing costs you showings.
✅ Value creates competition.
The market isn’t dead—it has simply become price sensitive.
