Residential sales activity recorded through the MLS® System of the Windsor-Essex County Association of REALTORS® numbered 631 units in June 2018. This was down 22.7% from June 2017 but was still in line with the 10-year average for this time of year.
“Home sales were running at healthy if average levels in June – well below the same month in the last two years but above most other months of June in history,” said Daniel Hofgartner, President of the Windsor-Essex County Association of REALTORS®. “With under two months of inventory, a lack of product for sale could be crimping sales. This idea was supported by yet another record average price in June.”
The average price of homes sold in June 2018 was a record $303,181, rising 12.1% from June 2017.
The more comprehensive year-to-date average price was $289,959, rising 10.7% from the first six months of 2017.
There were 922 new residential listings in June 2018. This was a decrease of 15.8% on a year-over-year basis.

Months of inventory numbered just 1.7 at the end of June 2018, up a bit from the 1.3 months recorded at the end of June 2017 but well below the long-run average of 5.5 months for this time of year. The number of months of inventory is the number of months it would take to sell current inventories at the current rate of sales activity.
