Windsor Housing Sales Slump

Fewer houses were on the market and fewer sold for not as much money.

That describes April, according to statistics from the Windsor-Essex County Association of Realtors.

When comparing April 2017 with the same month in 2016, the association says there were 814 listings, a drop of 14%.

WECAR does say, however, that listings have recently spiked to 1,096.

The Association says it saw a 10% drop in houses sold year-over-year, from 679 in 2016 to 607.

The average sale price was around $227,000 in April, while in 2016 that number was $283,000.
