Jan to Dec 2019 Years to Date Statistics Hamilton
2019 started off very slow, mostly due to the hard cold snowy extended winter throughout the Hamilton-Burlington Real Estate Market Areas. The last half of the year seemed to make up for it though, and was extremely busy! January 2019 had a List-To-Sell Ratio of 46.7% (Balanced Market). By July the ratio increased to 69% (Sellers Market) and with the exception of September which dropped to 56% (Balanced Market) continually increased for the rest of the year and ended in a strong Sellers Market! Overall, year over year, 2019 had a List-To-Sell Ratio of 67.3% (Sellers Market), 2018 was 59.4% (top end of a Balanced Market), 2017 was 65.6% (Sellers Market) and 2016 was 83.3%, showing a very strong Sellers Market. What does these numbers mean to you? If you are thinking of Selling, it is a very good sign, and if you are thinking of buying, do it it soon, as it looks as though the trend is for a strong Sellers Market for 2020!
Average Residential Selling Prices over the last few years have gone from $530,454 in 2016, peaked at $608,915 in 2017, dropped to $575,509 in 2018 and rose to almost the exact number from 2017 to $608,618 in 2019!

More and more people are looking to the lower priced condominiums which is raising the average sale much quicker than the detached homes average selling prices.
