2024 Year in Review Statistics & Property Values Report
Economic uncertainty and higher interest rates weighed on the housing market this year. The Bank of Canada Rate remained at 5% since the last increase in July 2023 until June of 2024 when it started to come down. This led to a sluggish Spring Real Estate Market, with lower sales and increased listings. The Bank of Canada Rate dropped five times since then and now sits at 3.25% with the next announcement coming at the end of January 2025. It is important to note that the Bank of Canada Rate only affects Variable Mortgages. Fixed Mortgage Rates in Canada are influenced by something called bond yields, which are basically the returns investors get from lending money to the government. For example, the 5-year fixed mortgage rate is closely tied to the 5-year bond yield. When bond yields go up or down, fixed mortgage rates often follow the same direction. The average five-year term fixed rate is just over 5% (with a low of just under 4%) for an insured Mortgage. Uninsured rates are higher. Please note that mortgage rates can vary based on individual circumstances and lender policies. For the most accurate and personalized information, it's advisable to consult directly with trusted professional mortgage lenders or financial advisors.
The increased inventory continued to affect home prices, which made purchasers felt more confident in the Real Estate Market, and Sales began to increase in the second half of the year. With overall lower sales for the year and increased inventory, the Hamilton and surrounding area is currently sitting in a Balanced Market with a List-To-Sell Ratio of 48%.
Overall Average Sales Prices increased slightly by 2% year over year throughout the area. The REALTORS ® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB) Areas can be broken into 4 distinct sub-divisions to give an overall view of the average prices.

The entire RAHB area has an average price of $876,359 for 2024 compared to $862,457 in 2023 and $955,429 for 2022. Sales dropped by only 1% year over year with New Listings increasing by 10%.
