For an accurate number on your specific home, I provide a free personal home evaluation. Call 226-626-2828.
Is it a good time to sell my home in Chatham-Kent?
Chatham-Kent is currently a buyer's market, which means sharp pricing and professional marketing matter more than ever. Homes that are priced correctly and marketed well still sell. I build a custom selling strategy around your home, your timeline, and your goals.
What commission does a real estate agent charge in Chatham-Kent?
Commission in Ontario is negotiable and typically ranges from 3.5% to 5% of the sale price, usually split between the listing and buyer agents. I will walk you through my fee structure and exactly what is included during a free, no-obligation consultation.
For Buyers
What do I need to buy a home in Chatham-Kent?
You will generally need a mortgage pre-approval, a down payment (minimum 5% on homes under $500,000), and funds for closing costs such as land transfer tax, legal fees, and a home inspection. I can connect you with trusted local mortgage brokers and lawyers and guide you through the entire process.
Is Chatham-Kent a buyer's or seller's market right now?
As of 2026, Chatham-Kent is a buyer's market, meaning there is more inventory and buyers have more room to negotiate. The right local knowledge helps buyers find genuine value and negotiate effectively across all Chatham-Kent communities.
What are closing costs for a buyer in Ontario?
Buyer closing costs typically include land transfer tax, legal fees (around $1,500), title insurance, and a home inspection (around $500). First-time buyers may qualify for a land transfer tax rebate of up to $4,000. There is a free closing cost calculator on this page, or call me for guidance.

Is Chatham-Kent a good place to live?
Chatham-Kent offers significantly more home and land per dollar than larger Ontario centres, with the average sale price around $449,000. It includes more than 13 communities, sits on the Highway 401 corridor, and is about 45 minutes from Windsor and 1 hour from London.

How far is Chatham-Kent from Windsor, London, and Toronto?
Chatham-Kent is approximately 45 minutes east of Windsor, 1 hour west of London, and about 3 hours from Toronto via Highway 401, which runs through the municipality. This makes it a practical option for commuters and remote workers relocating from larger centres.
