Real Estate and Mortgage News
February 04
(Feb 4, 2020 - Hamilton, Ontario) The REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB) reported 692 sales of residential properties located within the RAHB market area were processed through the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) System in January 2020. Sales are up 5 per cent over the same month last year, and up 18.3 per cent over December 2019. The average price for residential properties increased by 11.9 per cent from January 2019 to $617,496. "Our market area experienced a reduction in activity and average price in December, as is the case for that typically slower month; however, we bounced back in January," says RAHB President Kathy Della-Nebbia. "Buyers seem to be coming out early, so sellers shouldn't feel the need to wait for the spring market to get a great value for their property. We expect the spring market will be strong with more competition between sellers, as many wait for the flowers to bloom to market their homes."
January 16
(Jan 16, 2020 - Hamilton, Ontario) The REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB) reported 12,866 sales of residential properties located within the RAHB market area were processed through the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) System in 2019. This is 10.1 per cent more sales than in 2018.
The average price of a residential property in 2019 was $587,745. This is up 4.9 per cent from 2018, and 95.3 per cent higher from 10 years ago. New residential listings were down 4 per cent compared to the previous year.
"The RAHB residential market has balanced out from the high activity experienced in 2016 and 2017; however, increases in average price and number of sales, paired with a decrease in new listings, indicates that 2019 favoured sellers more than in 2018," says RAHB CEO Carol Ann Burrell. "Buyers in 2019 were able to take more time to find their preferred, and in many cases more affordable, property compared to previous years, and so the sellers' market was not as noticeable."
January03
(Jan 3, 2020 - Hamilton, Ontario) The REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB) reported 585 sales of residential properties located within the RAHB market area were processed through the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) System in December 2019. This years December sales are up 3.9 per cent over December 2018; however, are down from both November and October of this year. The average price for residential properties increased by 7.6 per cent from December 2018 to $581,566. "With the holidays and cold weather, sales tend to dip in December when compared to the previous months. It's a trend we see almost every year," says RAHB President Kathy Della-Nebbia. "A decrease in new listings and an increase in sales can equal less inventory on the market. With increased competition for the properties available, this looks to be an opportune time to sell your property."
December 03
(Dec 3, 2019 - Hamilton, Ontario) The REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB) reported 955 sales of residential properties located within the RAHB market area were processed through the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) System in November 2019. November sales are down from October and September, but up from November 2018 by 5.5 per cent. The average price for residential properties increased by 5.6 per cent from November 2018 to $591,334. "As we near the end of the fall market for 2019, the number of sales and the average price within the RAHB market area are down from the previous month, but up from November of last year," says RAHB President, Bob Van de Vrande. "This decrease in listings and a higher ratio of solds to listings indicate that the market is currently an opportune time for sellers to consider listing."
November 04
(Nov 4, 2019 - Hamilton, Ontario) The REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB) reported 1,145 sales of residential properties located within the RAHB market area were processed through the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) System in October 2019. October sales are up from September and August, as well as up from October 2018 by 6.4 per cent. The average price for residential properties increased by 7.1 per cent from October 2018 to $602,029. "The RAHB market area experienced more activity in October with an increase in number of sales from last month, as well as from the previous year, which is good news for sellers," says RAHB President Bob Van de Vrande. "The number of new listings dropped by eight per cent compared to October 2018, and by nearly 12 per cent since last month, so there was less choice for buyers."
October 02
(Oct 2, 2019 - Hamilton, Ontario) The REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB) reported 1,020 sales of residential properties located within the RAHB market area were processed through the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) System in September 2019.

"With an increase in the number of homes currently available, and a more relaxed pace in the market, this may be an ideal opportunity for buyers to purchase their dream home," says RAHB President Bob Van de Vrande."
September 03
(Sep 3, 2019 - Hamilton, Ontario) The REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB) reported 1,067 sales of residential properties located within the RAHB market area were processed through the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) System in August 2019.

The average price for residential properties increased by 6.4 per cent from August 2018 to $599,589. "The year-to-date number of sales is higher in 2019 compared to 2018 because we had a stronger spring," says RAHB President Bob Van de Vrande. "If the average price continues to increase and inventory stays low, we may shift out of the balanced market we've been experiencing over the last year and a half as we move into a busy fall."
August 01
(Aug 1, 2019 - Hamilton, Ontario) The REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB) reported 1,170 sales of residential properties located within the RAHB market area were processed through the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) System in July 2019. This is a 10.3 per cent increase from July last year; however, a 2.7 per cent decrease over June 2019 and a 12.9 per cent decrease from May 2019. The average price for residential properties increased by 0.9 per cent from July 2018 to $593,702. "A yearly real estate cycle sees peaks in spring and fall, with a typically slower summer," says RAHB President Bob Van de Vrande. "Average prices have stayed fairly stable since the spring high, which could point towards a healthy fall market when we could see the number of sales edge higher again."
