Now, more than ever, it is truly important to have a good understanding of what’s going on in the 905 Real Estate market.

The market is shifting and if you want to stay ahead of the curve, you should be aware of these stats.  For the first time since the COVID pandemic began, we are seeing more new listings than sales.  From December 2020 to February 2021, Hamilton used to have 25% more sales than new listings,  ut now there are 30% more new listings than sales. Burlington used to have 20% more sales than new listings, but now have 21% more new listings than sales and in Oakville, there were 23% more sales than new listings in December but in February we are seeing 27% more new listings vs. the number of sales.

What does this mean? Well, we are starting to see the shift to a more balanced market. If this trend continues, which I believe it will, the number of new listings will catch up to the demand and buyers will have more choice. When buyers have more choice, we see fewer and fewer bidding wars, as well as adjustments to market values.

Knowing the most important data such as the average sales price, the number of homes sold, and days on market will better prepare you to sell your home.
