Windsor Real Estate Recap Vol. 6

Hey there, welcome back! One month into 2025 already—let’s get straight to it.

How’s the Market?

Here’s what’s happening right now:

✅ Slow start to the year – January sales were down 10% from last year. Economic uncertainty and elections have some buyers sitting tight.

✅ Interest rates dropping – Recent cuts are making mortgages more affordable, with more decreases expected. If you're on a variable rate, you'll start feeling the relief.

✅ Negative headlines? Ignore the noise – Fear sells, but the truth? The market is steady. No crash, no collapse. Just business as usual.

✅ Biggest market shift: Mortgage renewals – Over 4 million mortgages (60% of Canada’s total) are up for renewal this year, many from pre-2022 low-rate days. Expect big moves in response.

Wondering how this plays into your plans? Let’s talk.
