2015 Windsor Essex Market Watch 10 Year Trends

Market WatchEach year Buckingham publishes a Residential  Market Watch showing the statistics for all of Windsor and Essex County.  While this information is helpful for an over all look of the market trends, it is also helpful to look at the area you are interested in to determine what is happening in that neighbourhood.   The Windsor Essex County Association of Realtors divides the County of Essex into a number of areas.  Each Area has its own distinct characteristics.   Buckingham has taken the time to graph Residential Listing information for Areas 1 through 60 with historic trends. It is interesting to see the differences in changes to average sales price and listing sales ratio in each area.  Each area’s growth changes at a different rate.

The Listing Sales Ratio is obtained by taking the number of listings and dividing it by the number of sales.  In general a Listing Sales Ratio of under 50% is referred to as a Buyer’s market, and is characterized by falling prices. A L/S Ratio of 50% is referred to as a balanced market and is usually characterized by limited growth in prices.  A L/S Ratio well above  50% is referred to as a Sellers Market and is usually characterized by rising prices.
