PHOTOS: Most expensive and inexpensive homes sold in Hamilton in January
Published February 23, 2021 at 7:12 am
The average price for a home in Hamilton skyrocketed in January as the number of active listings didn’t come close to meeting the demand for homes in the city.
According to latest data from the Realtors Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB), Hamilton saw a seven per cent annual increase in sales in the month of January. There was a total of 825 homes sold and the average home price in the region was $787,840, making for a year-over-year increase of 28 per cent from 2020.
New listings for the RAHB market were up 47 per cent however active listings at the end of the month were down 53 per cent from the year previously.
“This year’s decline in new listings builds off the back of the pre-pandemic drop in new listings and inventory levels we experienced in January 2020,” said RAHB President Donna Bacher.
“In addition, now many homeowners may not be interested in or even able to move their households due to the pandemic, adding to our inventory woes. The decrease in single-family homes available for purchase, coupled with the logistical hurdles families face moving during a pandemic, may have greatly influenced many not to put their home on the market.”
As a result of these conditions, most homes sold in January went for well over the seller’s asking price.
