Windsor-Essex County Association of REALTORS®

The number of homes sold through the MLS® System of the Windsor-Essex County Association of REALTORS® totaled 534 units in June 2025. This was a slight gain of 0.4% (two sales) from June 2024.

Home sales were 14.2% below the five-year average and 21.9% below the 10-year average for the month of June.

On a year-to-date basis, home sales totaled 2,615 units over the first six months of the year. This decreased by 5% from the same period in 2024.

“June brought a cooler pace to our local market, with both sales and new listings easing back from May totals. The key difference? Sales remained below the long-term average while the number of newly listed homes climbed further above typical seasonal levels – outpacing sales by more than 2:1. This influx of new listings helped to keep sales above the 500-home mark for the second consecutive month,” said Julianna Biondo, President of the Windsor-Essex County Association of REALTORS®. “Active listings climbed for the fifth straight month, reaching levels not seen since fall 2015. The MLS® HPI Benchmark Price continued to slide and combined with the steadily growing inventory, leaves market conditions firmly tilted in favour of buyers. If looking to buy or sell a home, we recommend reaching out to a REALTOR®, who can provide tailored information and help you make a confident informed decision.”
