How’s the Market?
March 1 2021
2020 wasn’t an easy year, and Sellers are (still) having an easier time than Buyers this year.
The average price for residential properties across the Hamilton-Burlington Area was $848,719 which was up 7.7% from last month and up 29.5% from February 2020.
The Average Sale Price in 2020 was $646, 667.
Yes, a 200k increase in residential home values since February 2020.
The number of active listings available at the end of the month was 44.1%, lower than the previous period in 2020.
The lack of homes for sale, is making it difficult to buy a house in the GTA.
Most homes are holding back offers to create a bidding war, so there are new homes sold and listed every week.
Homes could be listed and available for showings for 2 – 7 days before they look at offers.
It’s not uncommon for homes to sell 100k, 150k + over asking the asking price, with 5 – 40 Buyer offers.
