Momentum Builds

The spring real estate market is in full swing, and Winnipeg’s momentum continues with strong sales and rising prices. As the latest market data from the Winnipeg Regional Real Estate Board shows, both buyers and sellers have opportunities, but navigating this competitive landscape requires strategy and preparation.

Record-High Home Prices

The average price of a residential detached home in April 2025 reached $465,402, marking a 7% increase over last year. This is the second-highest average price on record, just shy of the peak set in March 2025. For sellers, this presents a prime opportunity to list as demand remains strong. For buyers, it means acting quickly and being prepared with a clear plan.

Market Trends & Insights

• High Demand for Detached Homes: With limited inventory, many homes are receiving multiple offers, pushing prices higher and creating competitive conditions for buyers.

• Regional Growth: Several areas outside of Winnipeg, including Oakbank, Niverville/Ritchot, and West St. Paul, have seen notable price gains, reflecting strong demand for suburban and rural properties.

• Condo Market Balance: While detached homes remain highly competitive, the condo market offers more balanced conditions, with prices slightly softer, making it a potential entry point for buyers.

What This Means for Buyers & Sellers

• For Sellers: If you’ve been thinking about selling, this is a great time to take advantage of high demand and strong market conditions. Proper pricing and effective marketing can make a significant difference.

• For Buyers: Preparation is key in this fast-moving market. Get pre-approved for a mortgage and work with an experienced agent to increase your chances of success.
