Windsor-Essex home sales came in at 59 residential closings for the week of July 28 to August 3, 2026, with a median sale price of $510,000. The average was higher, around $543,000, but don't read too much into that. Three sales above $1 million pulled the average up, which is exactly why the median is the number to watch.

The typical home that sold last week had 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and about 1,865 square feet, at a median of $424 per square foot. Sales ranged widely, taking in everything under $300,000 along with those three seven-figure closings.

One caveat before the details: the Civic Holiday fell on Monday, August 3, the last day of this window. Holiday weeks tend to record fewer closings, so treat this week's count as a soft reading rather than a trend.

Half of Windsor-Essex Home Sales Landed Between $400,000 and $600,000

The middle of the market did the heavy lifting. Thirty of the 59 sales, just over half, closed between $400,000 and $600,000. The $500,000 to $600,000 band was the single busiest slice with 18 sales, and its median of $545,000 sits right where a well-kept family home in Windsor, LaSalle, or Tecumseh tends to trade.

Below that, the $300,000 to $400,000 band told a different story. Only 10 homes sold there, but 5 of them went over asking. That's the highest over-ask rate of any band this week and a reminder that entry-level buyers are still competing hard for the limited supply under $400,000. Above $800,000, the pattern flips: just 1 of 6 sales cleared its list price.

Read the last column carefully. Over-ask activity clustered in the $300,000s while the top of the market negotiated. The $800,000-and-up group covers only six sales, so its median says more about which homes happened to close than about luxury pricing overall.


Pace and Negotiating Room

Half of last week's sales found a buyer within 19 days. The average days on market came in at 26 because a few listings lingered much longer, so the median is again the fairer picture of a typical sale.

On price, most buyers got something off list. Forty of the 59 homes (68%) sold under asking, one sold at asking, and 18 sold over. The median home closed at 98.2% of list price, which works out to roughly a $9,000 discount on a $510,000 purchase. That's modest negotiating room, not a buyer's market. Homes priced correctly are still moving in under three weeks, and a third of them are attracting competing offers.


What This Means for Buyers and Sellers This Week

If you're selling under $400,000, price confidently and expect activity. Five of ten sales in that band beat their list price, and well-presented starter homes remain the scarcest product in the region.

Sellers in the $500,000s have the deepest pool of buyers but also the deepest pool of competing listings, with 18 sales closing there last week alone. Sharp pricing and presentation decide whether yours is the home that sells in two weeks or the one that sits past the 26-day average.

Buyers above $600,000 will find the numbers lean their way. Only 3 of 14 sales in that range went over ask, so there's room to negotiate on price and conditions. Lower down, come prepared with a pre-approval and a decisive first offer, because 19 days doesn't leave much time to deliberate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What was the median home price in Windsor-Essex last week?
The median sale price across 59 residential sales from July 28 to August 3, 2026 was $510,000. The average came in higher at roughly $543,000, but that number was pulled up by three sales above $1 million, which is why the median is the better guide to a typical sale.
Are homes in Windsor-Essex selling over asking right now?
Some are, but most aren't. Last week 31% of homes sold over asking, one sold right at list, and 68% sold under. The median home closed at 98.2% of its list price, so a small discount is still the most common outcome.
How long does it take to sell a house in Windsor-Essex?
For homes that closed between July 28 and August 3, 2026, the median was 19 days on market. The average was 26 days because a few listings sat much longer, but half of last week's sales found their buyer in under three weeks.
Which price range was busiest in Windsor-Essex last week?
The $500,000 to $600,000 band led the week with 18 of 59 sales. Add the $400,000 to $500,000 band and you cover 30 sales, half of everything that closed. The sharpest bidding showed up lower, though: 5 of the 10 homes that sold between $300,000 and $400,000 went over asking.
