The May 2025 episode of the Windsor-Essex Real Estate Podcast delivers a clear and timely market recap for homebuyers and sellers. Host Kris Ramotar breaks down year-over-year stats, revealing a 10–15% rise in listings and a slight dip in sales and home prices. The market is shifting toward balance, with more conditional offers being accepted and homes taking a bit longer to sell—especially if not properly priced or prepped.
Kris also unpacks the Bank of Canada's decision to hold rates at 2.7%, noting the impact of inflation, tariffs, and high unemployment on buyer confidence. He encourages buyers to take advantage of the steady rates and increased inventory while advising sellers to stay patient and realistic.
The episode closes with a strong message: in today’s market, your agent matters more than ever. Kris shares a client story to show how smart prep, honest advice, and strategic marketing can still lead to great results.
This is your go-to update if you're planning to buy, sell, or just stay informed about real estate in Windsor-Essex.
