December 2025 Market Report

In December 2025, the Windsor-Essex real estate market signalled a clear shift toward a "Buyer’s Market Lite," characterized by increased choice and cooling prices. As we closed out the year, the frenetic pace of previous seasons was replaced by a more deliberate and balanced environment.

The December Breakdown: A Market in Transition

Pricing Relief: The average home price settled at $524,840, a nearly 10% dip compared to December 2024. For local buyers, this represents a significant improvement in affordability as the market recalibrates.

Growing Inventory: While sales volume saw a modest decline (261 units sold), the number of homes available for sale jumped by over 13%. With 1,494 active listings on the market, buyers now have the luxury of time and selection—a sharp contrast to the bidding wars of the past.

Pace of Sales: Homes are staying on the market for an average of 33 to 35 days. This "breathing room" allows for thorough inspections and more thoughtful negotiations, moving away from the "buy-it-now" pressure of recent years.

What This Means for You

For Buyers: This is arguably the most favourable window in recent memory. With prices softening and more inventory available, you have more leverage to negotiate terms and find a home that truly fits your needs without being rushed.

For Sellers: Success in this market now depends on strategic pricing and presentation. With more competition from other listings, "pricing it right" from day one is essential to attract serious interest and secure a timely sale.

Most Wanted: Classic styles like Bungalows and Ranches remain the region's top sellers, highlighting a continued demand for single-story living and accessible entry points.

The Bottom Line: As we head into 2026, the Windsor-Essex market has stabilized into a healthier, more predictable landscape.

Whether you are looking to downsize or enter the market for the first time, the current data suggests a more approachable path to homeownership.
