Hamilton Real Estate Market Update – June 2025
The Cornerstone Association of REALTORS® (Cornerstone) has released its June 2025 real estate statistics, showing continued softness in the Hamilton-Burlington housing market. While new listings remained steady year-over-year, sales activity declined, pushing overall market performance to its slowest start since 2010. Economic uncertainty and growing inventory levels are creating a more competitive environment for sellers, while presenting timely opportunities for qualified buyers with stable income and savings.
This real estate market report for Hamilton in June 2025 will cover the following:
- Hamilton Real Estate Market Update – June 2025: Key insights for buyers, sellers, and investors navigating today’s evolving conditions.
- Sales, Listings, and Inventory: Regional statistics organized by property type and location.
Sales, Regional, and Inventory Breakdown – Cornerstone Real Estate Market Area
In June 2025, there were 831 residential sales across the Cornerstone market area, including Hamilton, Burlington, Haldimand County, and Niagara North. This reflects a 6% decline from last June and a 20% drop year-to-date, marking the slowest start to the year since 2010.
New listings remained steady year-over-year, but slower sales pushed the sales-to-new listings ratio to 40% and increased the months of supply to nearly five — both signs of rising inventory.
The unadjusted benchmark price dropped to $776,300, down from May and nearly 9% lower than June 2024. Price easing was observed across all property types and areas within the region.
While some Ontario markets, like Waterloo Region, are showing signs of stabilization, conditions in the Hamilton-Burlington area remain more subdued. Still, increased supply and softer pricing may benefit well-positioned buyers ready to act.
Coming Up: A Detailed Look at Hamilton’s Housing Market
The next section of this report breaks down property-specific data for the City of Hamilton, including residential sales, inventory levels, and benchmark prices by property type and district.
Hamilton Residential Real Estate – Price, Sales & Market Conditions
In June 2025, 503 residential properties were sold in the City of Hamilton — down from May and from June 2024. This marks the slowest June for home sales since 2010. Year-to-date, sales are now 35% below long-term trends, continuing a pattern of reduced market activity.
While some neighbourhoods posted modest year-over-year sales gains, Hamilton Centre and Hamilton West saw the steepest slowdowns relative to the 10-year average. Dundas, by contrast, remained more stable, with sales activity only slightly below typical levels for the first half of the year.
Inventory and Listing Activity
A total of 1,274 new listings were added in June. With sales remaining soft, the sales-to-new listings ratio stayed below 40%, contributing to further inventory growth.
Hamilton ended the month with 2,499 active listings, a 27.5% increase compared to June 2024. The months of supply rose to 5.0, up 35.4% year-over-year, creating more buyer-favourable conditions across the city.
Pricing Trends and Buyer Conditions
The average residential sale price in Hamilton was $821,716, down 0.8% year-over-year. The benchmark price fell to $726,500, a drop of nearly 8% from June 2024. This marks the third consecutive month of price declines exceeding 1%.
Price declines were observed across all property types, with apartment-style homes showing the steepest year-over-year drop. Homes also spent more time on the market in June, with the average days on market (DOM) rising to 33.8 days, a 31.2% increase year-over-year.
Looking Ahead: Property Type Breakdown
This concludes our analysis of Hamilton’s overall residential market performance for June 2025. In the next section, we’ll explore how individual property types — including detached, semi-detached, townhomes, and apartment-style properties — are performing across the city.
Breakdown by Property Type – Hamilton June 2025
The Cornerstone Association of REALTORS® reports continued year-to-date sales declines across all residential property types in Hamilton. Once again, apartments remain the most impacted segment, with year-over-year sales down more than 30% and average prices posting the steepest decline across the board.
Softening prices have become common across nearly every category as supply builds and demand remains cautious. Detached homes remain the highest-priced segment, though price reductions are now evident across both benchmark and average values.
The following data offers a comprehensive look at Hamilton real estate statistics for June 2025, including year-over-year changes in sales, new listings, inventory, and average prices by property type.

Takeaways and Market Statistics – June 2025
The data confirms a familiar trend: sales have declined across all property types, while inventory levels have climbed, offering more choice for buyers but creating increased competition for sellers.
Notable Trends:
- Apartments: Continue to face the steepest declines in both sales and pricing. The average apartment price fell by over 16% year-over-year — the largest drop of any category.
- Detached Homes: Still lead in overall price, but both average and benchmark values softened.
- Semi-Detached & Row Homes: Mixed conditions. While semi-detached sales surged, prices dropped. Row homes saw sharp declines in both sales and listings but only slight price movement.
These evolving trends reflect a more balanced market, where buyers benefit from increased selection, while sellers must adapt their pricing strategy and expectations accordingly.
Coming Up: Regional Summary
Next, we’ll shift focus to the regional real estate activity within Hamilton and its surrounding areas. The following section provides a detailed look at local market conditions across sub-areas including Hamilton Mountain, Hamilton Centre, and Stoney Creek.
Regional Summary – June 2025
Inventory levels continued to climb across Hamilton’s real estate market in June 2025, contributing to more balanced — and in some areas, buyer-friendly — market conditions. The regions of Hamilton Centre, Hamilton Mountain, and Stoney Creek were of particular interest this month, with all three reporting a mix of rising inventory and adjusted pricing.
While inventory rose, price trends varied by area. Hamilton Centre saw the sharpest year-over-year price decline of the three, while Stoney Creek stood out with a modest price gain. The Hamilton Mountain saw prices trend downward but remained more stable relative to the previous year.
According to Cornerstone’s analysis, slower sales combined with consistent listing activity have resulted in growing inventory and shifting buyer-seller dynamics at the neighbourhood level. These conditions are prompting price adjustments across several key districts.

- Sales: 63 (↓ 26.0% YoY)
- New Listings: 163 (↓ 11.9%)
- Inventory: 324 (↑ 14.1%)

Next Up: Average Residential Prices by District
While regional stats provide valuable insight into overall sales, inventory, and price trends, zooming in on sub-area price breakdowns gives a clearer picture of how local real estate values are shifting.
In the following section, we’ll explore average residential sale prices by district for Hamilton Mountain, Stoney Creek, and Hamilton Centre — highlighting how pricing has evolved at the neighbourhood level over the past year.
Average Residential Prices by District – June 2025
This section provides a closer look at average residential sale prices across Hamilton’s sub-areas, offering a hyperlocal view of how home values are shifting both month-over-month and year-over-year. For June 2025, our focus remains on Hamilton Mountain, Stoney Creek, and Hamilton Centre — three of the city’s most dynamic and diverse residential districts.
Below we have highlighted the average sale prices by sub-area, alongside year-over-year percentage changes. This localized data helps buyers and sellers better understand neighbourhood-specific trends across Hamilton’s real estate market.
Hamilton Mountain Sub-Area Breakdown
Hamilton Mountain includes sub-areas 15, 16, 17, 18, and 25, which together represent a significant share of residential activity in the city. Price movement in June ranged from flat to moderate declines across most areas.

- Area 16 – $785,296 (↓ 5%)
- Area 17 – $644,802 (↓ 1%)

Area 18 experienced the sharpest year-over-year drop, while Areas 15 and 25 held steady. Price softening in Area 16 was moderate, reflecting more balanced conditions in much of the Mountain.
Hamilton Centre Sub-Area Breakdown
Hamilton Centre includes sub-areas 13, 14, 20, 21, and 22, and saw a mix of price declines and limited growth in June.
- Area 13 – $588,500 (↑ 11%)
- Area 14 – $420,738 (↓ 12%)
- Area 20 – $518,700 (↓ 4%)

- Area 22 – $616,182 (↓ 9%)
Area 13 was the only sub-area to record a price increase, while all others showed varying degrees of year-over-year decline — the largest being in Area 14. This highlights ongoing affordability challenges and price sensitivity in parts of the city’s core.
Stoney Creek Sub-Area Breakdown
Stoney Creek comprises sub-areas 50, 51, and 52, and recorded some of the strongest pricing performance across the city in June 2025.
- Area 50 – $889,790 (↑ 4%)
- Area 51 – $888,779 (↑ 17%)
- Area 52 – $1,099,250 (↑ 11%)
All three sub-areas posted year-over-year price gains, with Areas 51 and 52 seeing double-digit growth. Stoney Creek continues to show strength in buyer demand and price appreciation.
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
Hamilton’s sub-area data shows just how much real estate conditions can vary across the city. While Stoney Creek is seeing strong price growth, parts of Hamilton Centre and Hamilton Mountain are softening. For buyers, this opens up opportunity; for sellers, pricing strategically is key in today’s evolving market.

Summary & Expert Insights – Hamilton Real Estate Market
In June 2025, the Hamilton-Burlington real estate market recorded 831 home sales, down 6% year-over-year and contributing to a 20% decline in year-to-date activity — the slowest start to the year since 2010. Despite steady new listing volumes (1,274 units, nearly unchanged from 2024), a continued slowdown in buyer activity kept the sales-to-new listings ratio at 40%, reflecting cautious sentiment.
Inventory levels continued to build, pushing the months of supply to nearly five. This shift in supply dynamics placed further pressure on prices. The unadjusted benchmark price dropped to $776,300, down from the previous month and nearly 9% lower than June 2024.
“While global market uncertainty has some buyers waiting on the sidelines, growing inventory levels and softer prices present a unique window of opportunity for those with a stable income and savings,” says Nicolas von Bredow, spokesperson for the Cornerstone Association of REALTORS®.
Von Bredow also emphasized the importance of local expertise, noting that neighbourhood-level conditions often differ significantly from the regional average — making it essential for both buyers and sellers to work with knowledgeable professionals who understand the nuances of each area.
