Windsor-Essex isn’t one market. Prices, taxes, commutes and what the same money gets you change from town to town, and choosing the right town is most of the decision.
Homes I have for sale right now, on realtor.ca.
See my listingsEach town prices differently, and choosing the right one is most of the decision. Ask me which are worth your time.
Most homes that sell here are detached, and many were built between the 1950s and the 1970s. That means solid construction and real lot sizes, plus the costs of age: original windows, older roofs, wiring never meant for a modern household. None of that is a reason not to buy. It’s a reason to price it right and take the inspection seriously.
Newer subdivisions in Lakeshore, LaSalle and parts of Tecumseh sell at a premium, and the premium isn’t always worth the difference. Windsor itself has a steady supply of duplexes and small multi-family, which is why many first purchases here are part investment.
Weighing a duplex or small multi-family? The numbers work differently: see how investment properties work here.
Your pre-approval is a ceiling, not a plan. Using your lender’s numbers, we work out what the monthly cost looks like, taxes included, and what you’re comfortable carrying.
Commute, taxes, schools and what your money buys vary more between towns than within them. Choose the map first and the search gets manageable.
Six homes that fit beat twenty that don’t. I’ll point out what’s expensive to fix, and a second viewing tells you more than the first.
What to offer, which conditions to keep, and which inspection findings actually matter versus what’s normal for a house that age.
Financing finalised, lawyer instructed, every deadline held. The final walkthrough isn’t a formality, and I don’t treat it like one.
The down payment, closing costs, land transfer tax and the rebates you may qualify for decide a first purchase. They get a page of their own.
