89 homes changed hands last week at a median price of $550,000. Here's where the competition was, and where buyers still had room to negotiate.
Last week was a busy one for Windsor-Essex home sales. Between July 21 and 27, 2026, 89 residential properties sold across the region, covering everything from entry-level starter homes to seven-figure sales. The median landed at $550,000, with half of all homes selling within a few points of their asking price.
The average sale price came in higher, at $565,952. That gap isn't a mystery: three sales cleared the million-dollar mark and pulled the average up. The median is the honest number here, and it's the one worth tracking week to week.
The middle of the market did the heavy lifting last week. 61 of the 89 sales, about 69%, closed between $400,000 and $800,000. The busiest single band was $600,000 to $800,000 with 26 sales, followed by $400,000 to $500,000 with 21.
Here's the full breakdown, including how often each band sold above asking:
| Price Band | Sales | Median Sale Price | Sold Over Asking |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under $300,000 | 9 | $260,000 | 33% |
| $300,000 to $400,000 | 8 | $368,700 | 50% |
| $400,000 to $500,000 | 21 | $473,720 | 38% |
| $500,000 to $600,000 | 14 | $553,000 | 64% |
| $600,000 to $800,000 | 26 | $670,000 | 35% |
| $800,000 and up | 11 | $895,000 | 18% |
Across the whole market, 35 of 89 homes (39%) sold over asking, 5 sold right at list, and 49 (55%) sold under. That's a balanced picture overall. Zoom into the $500,000 to $600,000 range, though, and the temperature changes: 9 of 14 sales there, or 64%, closed above list price.
That band is where a lot of move-up buyers and well-qualified first-timers overlap, and last week they were bidding against each other. Compare that to sales above $800,000, where just 2 of 11 went over asking. The more expensive the home, the more room buyers had to negotiate.
The median sale spent 20 days on market. The average was 29 days, stretched by a few listings that lingered much longer. Pricing accurately mattered: the median home sold at 99.11% of its list price, which means most sellers landed within about one percent of their number.
The typical sold home was a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom property of about 1,689 square feet, working out to roughly $398 per square foot. Per-square-foot prices varied widely depending on location, condition, and lot.
Sellers between $500,000 and $600,000 are in the strongest position right now. Nearly two thirds of that band sold over list last week, so a well-presented home priced at market has a real shot at multiple offers. Above $800,000, patience and precise pricing matter more; only one sale in that range beat its asking price.
Buyers shouldn't read "39% over asking" as a market-wide bidding war. More than half of last week's sales closed under list, and the median discount was under one percent. Know which band you're shopping in. In the hot zones, come prepared to move fast with financing arranged. Above $800,000, you likely have room to negotiate, and the days-on-market numbers back that up.
