Supply continues to outpace demand in Chatham-Kent’s housing market.
According to the Chatham-Kent Association of Realtors, there were 298 new residential homes listed for sale last month, a 28.4 per cent increase from October 2024. This was the largest number of new listings added in the month of October in history.
However, only 104 homes changed hands in October 2025, an eight per cent decrease from the same time last year.
“Sellers were more determined than ever to attract buyers to their properties,” said association president Barbara McCaughrin in a news release. “Overall inventory levels now stand at their highest in a decade as supply continues to outpace demand in our region.”
