Where the Market Stands Right Now
Hamilton recorded 376 sales in September, down 22.6% from a year ago. The average residential sale price was $714,420, down 8.0%. Those are city-wide figures; the type of home you are buying or selling matters.

My Take: A Clear Plan Makes the Difference
Thinking of selling? I would start with what similar homes in your neighbourhood have recently sold for, then look at the homes you will be competing with. From there, we can set a thoughtful price, highlight what makes your home special and plan a timeline that works for you.
Planning to buy? Focus on the home and community that fit your life, not just the headline numbers. My advice is to compare recent sales, understand the property's condition and ongoing costs, and make an offer supported by the local market and your budget.
My bottom line: there is no one-size-fits-all market. The right approach starts with your goals, your neighbourhood and a clear understanding of your options. That is where local guidance makes a difference.
What I Am Watching Going Into October
New listings rose from 846 in August to 1,057 in September, while sales edged down from 388 to 376. I will be watching whether those additional listings translate into more sales, or whether selling times remain stretched.
Curious what your home could sell for in today's market? I would be happy to prepare a personalized comparative market analysis, looking at recent comparable sales, current listings and your home's unique features. You will have a clearer picture of its current market value and a helpful starting point for your next move.
