May Market Minute

Uncertainty is still the order of the day, and Middlesex – Elgin, like many other markets across the province continues to struggle.

There were 722 residential sales in the month of May. That is down 15.4% from May of 2024 as many would be Buyers remain on the sidelines. At the same time, we had 1999 new listings in the month of May, up 15.3% from last May, we had 3253 Active Listings that is up 26.5% over last year.

To summarize: Sales down 15.4%, New listings up 15.3%, Active Listings up 26.5%

Incredibly, Market pricing in Middlesex Elgin continues to hold with a median selling price of $610,000. The median price has been in the $580k-$620k range for well over a year now. “Affordable” homes are still moving well if priced appropriately, but higher priced homes have more competition and typically take longer to move. Let’s hope for a resolution to the trade war and sooner rather than later so we can get the market moving again.

If you have any questions on this market update or any other Real Estate issue, feedback and comments are appreciated and will be responded to.

Happy Retirement Pat!

A couple of weeks ago, long time Red Door Realty agent Pat McLachlan retired from
Real Estate. His career spanned some 30+ years, he was with us since day one, eleven years.
Pat had a good-natured way of doing things that just made everyone comfortable.
He was trusted and relied upon by clients and colleagues alike. He will be missed on the
Real Estate side but that’s not all, Pat was very generous with his time.
He supports the Heart Fund, The Salvation Army Kettle Drive, Coldest Night of the Year Walk,
and the London Food Bank; Not just cutting a cheque, but getting involved and personally, making a
difference. We wish him all the best in retirement, but hope he keeps his red suit. There will always be
room for Pat at our Red Jacket Food Drives and other events. Good Luck and all the best in retirement.
You have earned it!

Thanks Red Door and Peter Sisco,

Today we want to thank the company Red Door and our dear realtor Peter Sisco for having been part of a beautiful dream which was to obtain our new home.

My husband and I were dating when we were 14 years old in 1987 in our country El Salvador. Due to the armed conflict in our country we separated and Rudy had to come to Canada looking for a better future. At that time the Internet did not exist, therefore our communication was through handwritten letters sent by traditional mail.

Unfortunately, my parents did not approve of our relationship since for them the most important thing was that I stay focused on my studies. One day my parents found the letters that Rudy sent me and when I came home from class they punished me and tore them all up in front of me. With the breaking up of my letters, all contact and the illusion of that beautiful and pure love that existed between Rudy and me disappeared. One day in 1992, Rudy returned to our country for a few days and went to look for me, but unfortunately I was very focused on my engineering career at the University and I couldn’t abandon everything for him. In addition to that, I had a lot of fear and respect for my parents. Years passed and in 2011 we met again on Facebook and this time it would be forever. We got married in 2015 and were able to live together in Canada in December 2017. Finally after 30 long years Rudy and I were together. Dreaming of a house that belonged to the two of us at that time was impossible since I had to learn a new language and study a new career to be able to be subject to credit and help Rudy. I tried to obtain the credentials of my races but at the moment it has not been possible. The pandemic came but I did not stop in my fight to learn and graduate from a program that would open doors for me to work soon. This is how I finally managed to get a job to help Rudy so that together we could apply to get our own house. For immigrants, obtaining a house in a country different from their own is extremely difficult. That is why we are so happy and grateful to God and to Peter our realtor as he helped us in this arduous process looking for the best options for us, advising us at all times to choose the house that suited our needs and price. Peter Sisco also helped us sell the house where we lived using excellent sales strategies. Thank you Peter and Red Door because behind this purchase and sale there are more than 30 years of love from a couple who have waited for many years to start together in their new home.

-Sayda and Rudy Munoz

Testimonials

Flattery from some of our happy clients.

We were very lucky to be able to work with Peter Sisco and his team at Red Door Realty for all our real estate needs. From the onset Peter was attentive to all our questions and concerns . He was very patient with both of us. Peter has a wonderful sense of humour and there were lots of laughs with our visits. He was able to really help us through some stressful moments! His sense of integrity, honesty and loyalty is unmeasurable. A very welcome change, in this ever changing world. We have purchased 3 and sold 2 properties with Red Door Reality. Peter keeps up to date with all the changes and ins and outs of real estate. He is excellent at his profession and we would not think of using anyone else. Thank you Peter, Elissa and Cassie ! We will always appreciate your kindness, caring and generosity.

Jeff and Nancy Onderwater

We worked with Peter Sisco on both the purchase and sale of a condo in London, as well as in the pursuit of possible investment properties. He was an absolute pleasure; professional, proactive, straightforward, and extremely accommodating. Coming from out of town, the scope of our needs was greater than those familiar with the city and Peter provided thoughtful and informed advice, on-going market data, and beneficial strategies. The sale took place in a tumultuous market and, as a result of Peter’s input and efforts, we realized a favourable conclusion in a timely manner. Plus, he is a lovely man who went out of his way several times to 'go the extra mile.' I would recommend Peter Sisco highly and without reservation. You will not be disappointed!

Roberta Martenfeld

Client, Company Inc.

My husband and I were so impressed with Peter Sisco and his team. Our family was going through a lot of hardship and Peter was such a compassionate and understanding person to do business with. Anyone who needs a realtor who is dependable, hard working and goes above and beyond his duties Peter Sisco is the person for you! Integrity,compassion and many years of experience! Where else do you have to look!!!! I recommend Peter Sisco and his team to sell or buy your next dream home. Thank you so much Peter.

Pam Carmichael & Ed Cooper

Realtor, Company Inc.

Peter this is terrific. An excellent video. I love the red blazer it will instantly be embedded in people’s minds. The power and confidence colour. Alpaca is a great mascot and who doesn’t like alpacas! Thanks for keeping me informed and when or if I’m ready for a sale you’ll be my man. My agent from up North sends updates every couple of months which I really appreciate because it keeps in the loop. I can’t get over how much house prices have gone up in Gery Bruce. Had I waited till now I would have been a rich lady. Then on the other hand things could have gone the other way as well. No regrets on my part. I’m happy living in London and being near my boys.Best move I’ve made. I hope your business will surpass your wildest expectations.

Julia Stark

Manager, Company Inc.

Over the past 10 years, I have worked with Peter on four occasions to either sell or buy homes in two jurisdictions. On each and every occasion Peter has been both candid and professional in detailing what I could expect to either find on the market or expect when selling a home. Peter is exceptionally good at listening to a person's wants/needs in a home and then locating properties that match the criteria.

Dar Morin

Peter was patient and casual working with me, but he really knows his trade, no detail was too small. Thank you Peter.

Christopher Fink

Peter Sisco was so wonderful when we were buying our first home. He was patient, helpful and accommodating. He got to know us in order to help us find our perfect fit, and we did! We could not be happier with our experience.

Lindsay Davis

We had the pleasure of working with Peter Sisco last fall(*2024) as our realtor. We were very impressed! He is very well organized and offered us good advice about preparing and marketing our property. He takes the time needed to explain the vendor process well. He hosted an Open House that was very successful and brought many potential buyers to our home. He offers his clients lots of time and good advice to be considered. We felt Peter went above and beyond for us for the sale of our home. We were very satisfied with his professional manner and would recommend Peter Sisco as an effective real estate agent.
