London, Ontario

Selling or buying a home in London

We work from offices at both ends — Front Street in Strathroy and Commissioners Road in London — and more of our sales are in London than anywhere else. That's no accident. London and the county are one corridor, and we work both ends of it. Here's what we watch in the city, and how we'd handle yours.

The city, in plain numbers

Fewer than half of London's homes are detached houses — 48.8%, against 72.6% in Strathroy-Caradoc. If you own a detached in London, that's worth sitting with for a second: you hold the scarce thing, and every buyer priced out of the detached market is a potential buyer for yours when you sell. It's the exact scarcity our moving-out-of-London page describes from the buyer's side.

And more than half of London's stock is exactly what the county barely has — towns, semis, condos, apartments. London is where the choice is, and we search the city and the county side by side.

Statistics Canada, 2021 Census of Population (Catalogue 98-316-X2021001). The 2026 Census was collected in May 2026 and dwelling-type results aren't published until 2027, so these remain the current official figures.

What's in front of city council

We read London's council and committee agendas every week and publish the development files in them. As things stand, 12 London files have a municipal staff report that states a residential unit count, and between them they come to 2,352 proposed new homes. Agendas last pulled August 11, 2026; the tracker shows its own freshness date and says so plainly when it's overdue.

Why that matters to you: what's proposed near a home changes what it's worth living in and what it resells for. A tower application two blocks away cuts both ways depending on whether you're buying the tower's view or losing yours. We'd rather you know before you offer, not after.

Nothing there is predicted. A stage only lights up when there's a dated agenda item behind it, and every file links to the city's own record. See what's in front of London council →

The write-ups, if you want the details: 3924 4012 and 4050 Colonel Talbot Road, 415 York St, 1454 Fanshawe Park Road East (Block 2), 517-525 Fanshawe Park Road East 1536 Geary Avenue, 119 and 127 Centre Street, 1103 and 1111 Westdel Bourne, 1076-1080 Commissioners Rd W 396-402 North St, 2496 Dundas St, 1057-1061 Richmond Street, 36 Wethered Street, 198-200 Maitland St, 509 Second Street — and the full list is on the development index.

Things I'd tell you over coffee

Every page about a market sells the market. Here's the other half.

  • London isn't one market. It's dozens, street by street, and the city-wide average is the least useful number in real estate. A price that holds in one neighbourhood won't in the next one over. Whatever number you've got in your head, it should come from sales on streets like yours — that's how we build ours, and it's worth arguing about.
  • If you're selling a detached, remember it's less than half the city's stock. That doesn't mean any price works — it means you shouldn't be the one rushing.
  • Check the pipeline before you buy. The 12 files we're tracking in front of London council add up to 2,352 proposed homes right now. Some will make a street better, some will make it a construction zone for years. The agenda record is public and we track it — ask us what's filed near any address you're considering.
  • We have offices in both markets. Home base is 2 Front St W in Strathroy; the London office is at 509 Commissioners Rd W when you'd rather meet in the city. Either way, showings, signs and open houses happen at your place, not ours.

Who you'd be working with

Daniel Kiekens leads the team and sells across London and the county — he lives in Strathroy-Caradoc and owns income property, so the advice comes from someone who spends his own money on the same decisions. Amy Choi works with her own buyers and sellers across the same map. Laurie runs the administration behind every file.

That's the team. Nobody hands you off after you sign.

What's your London home worth?

Tell me the address and I'll put a number together with the sales it came from — street-level comparables, not the city average. If you'd rather just know and not do anything about it, that's fine too.
