Let's dive into the details and see what April 2024 had in store for local homeowners, buyers, and real estate enthusiasts.

Key Trends and Insights from April 2024

1. Increasing Average Sale Price

The average sale price in Windsor Park for April 2024 stood at $384,705, marking a significant increase from $361,288 in March 2024 and slightly above the average over the last quarter ($369,539). This uptick is indicative of a strengthening market that could benefit sellers looking for a favorable exit.

2. Sales and Listings Dynamics

Though the number of sales slightly decreased to 12 in April from 16 in March, the sales-to-active listings ratio remained high at 90%, consistent with last year’s figures. This high ratio underlines a market where demand continues to match up robustly against the supply.

3. New Listings and Active Listings

There has been a noticeable adjustment in new and active listings, with new listings at 13 for April down from 20 in March, and active listings at 20, more than double the previous month's 9. This growth in active listings provides more options for buyers, even as the market remains competitive.

4. Price Ratios

A very telling statistic in April was the sold price to list price ratio, which stood at an impressive 104%. This is a clear indicator that properties in Windsor Park are not only selling at their asking price but often exceeding it, suggesting strong buyer competition and a seller's market.

5. Days on Market

Homes in Windsor Park are selling faster, with the average days on market at 8 in April, down from 9 in March and significantly faster than the 16 days in the last quarter. This swift turnaround is great news for sellers, indicating that well-priced homes are likely to sell quickly.

Broader Market Perspective

The Winnipeg Regional Real Estate Board reports a 27% increase in all MLS® sales in April 2024 over March, and a 29% increase over last April, with total MLS® dollar volume up by an impressive 41%. This robust activity indicates a healthy, buoyant market. Furthermore, the year-to-date statistics for residential detached homes show a 17% increase in sales and an 8% rise in average prices, painting a picture of sustained growth and demand.

 Conclusion

The Windsor Park real estate market is vibrant and dynamic, characterized by rising prices, competitive selling conditions, and a relatively quick turnover of listed properties. For prospective buyers, the market demands decisiveness and readiness, given the high sale-to-list price ratios and fast-selling conditions. Sellers, on the other hand, can look forward to potentially favorable conditions if they decide to list.

As we move further into 2024, keeping an eye on these trends will be crucial for anyone engaged in the Windsor Park real estate market, whether you're buying, selling, or simply keeping an eye on the market.
