March Market Update

Hi everyone,

The February market in Chatham-Kent came in quieter than expected, with sales down over 24% compared to last year and sitting well below typical seasonal averages. A mix of winter weather and cautious buyers likely played a role, but what this really means is opportunity—less competition, more negotiating room, and a chance for strategic moves before the spring rush wakes everyone back up.

Inventory remains active, and while some sellers are adjusting expectations, well-priced homes are still moving. If you’ve been thinking about making a move, this current window may be one of the more balanced markets we see this year—where buyers have breathing room and sellers still have serious interest.

Now, let’s talk about getting out of the house (because we’ve all had enough winter…):

🐣 Easter Egg Hunt – Morpeth
Happening this Saturday, March 28th starting at 10:30 AM. A great excuse to load up the kids, sip your coffee while it’s still hot (in theory), and enjoy a local community event.

🌿 Chatham-Kent Home & Garden Show
If your Pinterest board has been getting a little too ambitious lately, this is your weekend:
• Friday: 2 PM – 7 PM
• Saturday: 10 AM – 6 PM
• Sunday: 10 AM – 4 PM
Perfect for inspiration, renovations, or convincing yourself that this is the year you’ll finally keep plants alive.

As always, if you’re curious about your home’s value, thinking about buying, or just want to chat strategy (or gardening ambitions), I’m always here.

Warm regards,
Jackie
