Windsor has been listed as one of the best places in Canada to buy real estate.
In a list published by 'MoneySense' magazine, the ranking of the top 35 places to buy in Canada is based on a number of factors including affordability and home value appreciation.
Windsor is 13th on this year's list after sitting in the 10th spot in 2017.
The ranking also projects a more than 7% return on investment over five years if you buy in Windsor, the ninth best in Canada.
Real Estate Broker Goran Todorovic says the numbers are accurate.
"The average sale price has moved the last number of years, but there's fantastic returns on your investment. Significantly better than in the GTA or as far as I'm concerned any place in Ontario," says Todorvic.
He adds the recent rise in prices has not taken a home out of young families' reach, saying "young families absolutely can get into the real estate market here. Even if they work a minimum wage job, if they're husband and wife or boyfriend-girlfriend, whatever that dynamics are to this day they can still afford to buy a home in the Windsor area even at minimum wage."
As of right now, the average sale price in Windsor is approximatley $275,000 - one of the lowest in Canada.
Brantford was listed as the top place in Canada to 'buy now' in 2018.
