Home sales peak over 1,000 in CK for 2026

Over 1,000 homes across Chatham-Kent (CK) have found new owners so far this year.

The Chatham-Kent Association of Realtors (CKAR) released its monthly report on Monday, highlighting 1,048 sales in the first 10 months of 2026.

This is up slightly from 2025, which saw 1,044 sales during the same period.

October alone saw 101 sales, down slightly year-over-year. The average cost of these homes was around $398,000.

"Our local market has been going back and forth between buyer’s and balanced markets for the past while, and October had us back in a balanced market. Sales were moderate while new listings came in on the stronger side, a trend that has been playing out and causing overall inventories to steadily rise," said Carrie Patrick, President of CKAR.

A total of 544 homes are currently listed across CK. Over 230 new listings were added in October.
