Residential Real Estate Market Report September 2024

The Hamilton Real Estate Market in September 2024 showed a shift in activity with an increase in sales after a few months reporting slower sales. Despite this increase, year-to-date sales are 4% lower than last year, and almost 28% below long-term trends. With two more Bank of Canada Rate Announcements left this year (October and December) and Buyers hopeful the Mortgage Rates will continue to decline, buyer optimism appears to be slowly increasing. Year-to-date averages prices have gone up in some areas in and around Hamilton. (for specific area prices, please see chart below).

Sales in September throughout the Hamilton-Burlington Real Estate Board reached 774 units, which is up 19.1% from last year for the same month. Listings, however, also increased which means the current inventory now sits at 5.1 months. This surplus of inventory will continue to affect home prices, although the decline in pricing is showing signs of easing in some areas, which makes this a perfect time for First Time Buyers to get into the market.

September 2024 had 2,316 Total Residential Listings come through the Hamilton Real Estate Board as reported by The REALTORS ® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (now known as Cornerstone), up 12.3% over the same month last year.

This will give you valuable information about how long the property has actually been for sale, and when/if the price was adjusted, and possibly how much it sold for previously!

Hamilton Sold Statistics Year To Date Sales September

Note that the “Average Sale Price" is based on the total dollar volume of all properties sold through the RAHB MLS® System. Average sale price can be useful in establishing long-term trends, but should not be used as an indicator that specific properties have increased or decreased in value.” What that means is, that not every house or condo has increased in price by the same percentage. It is really important to talk to an experienced local REALTOR® to see EXACTLY what is happening in your particular neighbourhood. It is also important to find out what you can do to your house to get the highest amount possible when you are ready to sell!

In this Market, it is important that you know about the houses getting listed immediately! Click Here to get set up on the Instant Listings Notification Search, otherwise, you will only know about listings once they are reported to the public sites. If you wait till you see it on Realtor.ca or other sites, it's too late, and is probably already SOLD!
