Hamilton Area Statistics for November 2022
Here's What Happened This Month!
As is typical for this time of year, November Sales are lower. New Listings are also lower than in October, however, they are up a bit from last November. Average prices continued to decrease since the peak in February of this year, and have dropped 11% from where they were a year ago. Higher supply is allowing for more choices for Buyers and we are back to seeing sales conditional on financing and home inspection, which is always a good thing!

Take note that “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, 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!

If you wait till you see it on Realtor.ca or other sites, it's too late, and is probably already SOLD!
