Coming Up: A Detailed Look at Hamilton’s Housing Market
The next section of this blog breaks down property-specific data across Hamilton, including residential sales, inventory levels, and benchmark prices by property type and neighbourhood.
Hamilton Residential Real Estate – Price, Sales & Market Conditions
In May 2025, 568 residential properties were sold in Hamilton, up 11% from April, but still 13.1% lower year-over-year and 35% below typical May levels, according to the Cornerstone Association of REALTORS®.
While a few areas showed slight year-over-year gains, year-to-date sales declined across all sub-areas. The smallest drops were in Hamilton East and Dundas, while Hamilton West posted the largest year-to-date decrease.
Inventory and Listing Activity
There were 1,449 new listings in May, a marginal increase of 0.6% year-over-year. With slower sales, the sales-to-new listings ratio remained at 39%, leading to a build-up in inventory.
Total active listings climbed to 2,356 units, up 27.8% year-over-year, and the months of supply rose to 4.1, the highest level seen in recent years. Conditions varied by area:
- Tightest markets: Hamilton East and Dundas (under 3 months of supply)
- Looser markets: Hamilton Centre, Hamilton West, Flamborough, and Stoney Creek (each over 5 months of supply)
Pricing Trends and Buyer Conditions
The average residential sale price in Hamilton was $777,786, a 4.5% decrease from May 2024. The unadjusted benchmark price also fell, coming in 8% lower year-over-year.
As supply continues to rise and buyers proceed cautiously, downward pressure on prices is expected to persist. Properties are also spending more time on the market, with the average days on market at 30.8 days, up 35.7% year-over-year—creating more favourable conditions for buyers.
Looking Ahead: Property Type Breakdown
This concludes our analysis of Hamilton’s overall residential market performance for May 2025. In the next section, we’ll examine how specific property types, such as detached, semi-detached, row homes, and apartments are performing across the city.

- Detached Homes: Still the highest-priced segment, though prices have softened.
- Semi-Detached & Row Homes: Sales declined significantly, but average prices remained relatively stable, with semi-detached homes showing a slight year-over-year increase.
These shifts suggest a more balanced market, where buyers benefit from greater selection while sellers must be strategic with pricing and presentation.
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 East, West, Centre, Stoney Creek, and Flamborough.
Regional Summary – May 2025
In May 2025, inventory levels continued to climb across the Hamilton real estate market. Hamilton Centre, Hamilton West, Flamborough, and Stoney Creek all reported over five months of supply, indicating softer market conditions and a shift toward greater buyer opportunity in these areas.
Despite the increase in supply, average home prices responded differently depending on the area. Of the highlighted communities, Hamilton West was the only one to record a year-over-year price increase, while the remaining three areas experienced year-over-year price declines.
Cornerstone’s analysis attributes this trend to a combination of slower sales and steady new listing activity, which has caused available inventory to grow. These conditions are now influencing pricing expectations at the local level.
Key Metrics by Area – May 2025
Hamilton Centre
- Sales: 64 (↓ 22.0% YoY)
- New Listings: 184 (↓ 4.7%)
- Inventory: 337 (↑ 33.7%)
- Months of Supply: 5.27
- Average Price: $523,192 (↓ 6.5%)
Hamilton West
- Sales: 48 (↓ 21.3%)
- New Listings: 150 (↑ 6.4%)
- Inventory: 241 (↑ 25.5%)
- Months of Supply: 5.02
- Average Price: $760,240 (↑ 5.5%)
Flamborough
- Sales: 24 (no change YoY)
- New Listings: 75 (↑ 13.6%)
- Inventory: 142 (↑ 7.6%)
- Months of Supply: 5.92
- Average Price: $1,240,104 (↑ 0.9%)
Stoney Creek
- Sales: 61 (↓ 35.1%)
- New Listings: 231 (↓ 3.8%)
- Inventory: 392 (↑ 19.9%)
- Months of Supply: 6.43
- Average Price: $849,702 (↓ 2.2%)
Hamilton Real Estate Statistics – Analysis
The growing inventory in these regions is a clear reflection of shifting buyer and seller dynamics. Although Flamborough and Stoney Creek have exceeded six months of supply, average price movement remains relatively stable, with Flamborough recording a modest increase.
Hamilton West’s 5.5% price growth stands out, despite lower sales and rising inventory, suggesting that demand may be holding firmer in this sub-area compared to others.
Final Thoughts & What’s Next
Up next, Nicolas von Bredow, spokesperson for the Hamilton-Burlington region at the Cornerstone Association of REALTORS®, shares key insights on market trends and what to expect in the months ahead.

Summary & Expert Insights – Hamilton Real Estate Market
The Hamilton-Burlington real estate market saw 908 homes sold in May 2025, up 13% from April, but still 14% below last year and 37% under typical May levels. While activity improved month-over-month, buyers and sellers continue to approach the market with caution.
2,319 new listings were added, keeping the sales-to-new listings ratio at 40% and pushing inventory higher. The region now has a 4.1-month supply, the highest for May since 1998.
Cornerstone spokesperson Nicolas von Bredow commented on the market:
“Buyers and sellers alike continue to adopt a cautious stance toward the market due to ongoing economic uncertainty and instability... With fewer sales and an increase in supply, the unadjusted benchmark price has decreased from the previous month and is nearly ten per cent lower than last year’s levels.”
As uncertainty lingers, there's optimism that post-election focus on housing may help restore confidence and affordability in the coming months.

The Cornerstone Association of REALTORS® has released its April 2025 real estate statistics. It was reported that there is still uncertainty concerning the ongoing tariffs.

The Cornerstone real estate market saw a total of 2,043 new listings in April 2025, causing the sales-to-new-listings ratio to decrease to 36%. This increase in both new listings and sales led to a rise in inventory levels, reaching a 4-month supply – the highest since April 2009.
Hamilton's real estate market in April 2025 saw continued downward pressure on home prices due to increasing supply and softening demand, according to Cornerstone. The unadjusted benchmark price was $803,700, a nearly 1% decrease from March and over 6% lower than April of the previous year. Prices have declined year-over-year across the region, with Burlington experiencing the most significant monthly decrease.

Hamilton Real Estate Market Update – March 2025
The Cornerstone Association of REALTORS® has released its March 2025 housing report, and while ongoing tariffs and trade tensions have influenced the market, there are still positive developments worth noting. Most notably, inventory is up and home prices are trending down — giving buyers more options and more time to make decisions.
This report offers a clear breakdown of current market conditions in Hamilton and surrounding areas. Here’s what we cover:
- Sales, Listings, and Inventory: Data by property type, area, and sub-area.
- Market Trends and Outlook: Insights for buyers, sellers, and investors heading into the spring market.
Sales and Inventory Overview – Hamilton and Surrounding Areas
According to Cornerstone’s data, home sales declined across Hamilton, Burlington, Haldimand County, and Niagara North. Only 701 properties were sold in March — the lowest number for that month since 2009. Year-to-date, sales totaled 1,854 units, marking a 27% drop compared to the same period in 2024.
Hamilton, Burlington, and Niagara North all posted double-digit declines in home sales. Haldimand County saw a smaller dip year-over-year. Despite slower activity, new listings increased, which kept the sales-to-new-listings ratio at 40%. This shift improved inventory levels and pushed months of supply to four — higher than usual for March.
Cornerstone noted:
“Rising supply choice combined with easing demand weighed on home prices across all property types. In March, the unadjusted total residential benchmark price was $811,000, dipping one per cent compared to February and five per cent below levels reported last March.”
Looking Ahead: Hamilton Real Estate Trends
In the next section, we’ll dive deeper into the Hamilton housing market, including detailed insights into home prices, sales activity, and inventory by neighbourhood and property type. Stay tuned for a closer look at what’s shaping the real estate landscape in March 2025 and beyond.
Hamilton Residential Real Estate – Sales and Prices
In March 2025, Hamilton recorded 444 residential property sales, a sharp 29.1% decline year-over-year. According to the Cornerstone Association of REALTORS®, this marks the third consecutive month of slower sales compared to the same period in 2024.
The average price of a residential property in Hamilton dropped to $788,968, down 4.8% from last year.
Slower Start to the Year
By the end of Q1 2025, there were 1,218 residential sales in the Hamilton area — a 21% decline year-over-year and the slowest start to the year since 2010.
While sales fell across all sub-areas within the Hamilton real estate market, Hamilton East stood out by maintaining sales levels similar to last year. As Cornerstone noted:
“All areas experienced exceptionally low sales compared to longer-term trends.”
New Listings and Benchmark Prices
New listings saw a modest increase, with 1,111 homes listed in March, up 4.4% year-over-year. The sales-to-new-listings ratio remained low at 40%, boosting inventory to 1,887 units — a 39.5% increase. This pushed the months of supply to 4.25, nearly doubling from last year (+96.6%).
Cornerstone summarized the pricing impact:
“More choice prevented the typical seasonal boost in prices. The unadjusted benchmark price in March was $754,900, over four percent lower than last year. Seasonally adjusted prices have trended down for four consecutive months.”

Property Type Breakdown – Hamilton Real Estate Market
In March, benchmark prices across the Hamilton housing market declined across all property types. The steepest drop came from the condo and apartment segment, which saw a significant year-over-year decrease.
According to the Cornerstone Association of REALTORS®, detached homes saw a 3% decline in price compared to March 2024. However, on a seasonally adjusted basis, prices posted a modest gain from February.
Let’s break down the numbers by property type:

Detached homes still command the highest average price, though they too have seen price softening year-over-year.

Dundas (Sub-Area 41)
- Sales: 28 homes sold in March
- Average Price: $971,486
- Year-over-Year Change: ↑ 3.1%

Summary & Expert Insight – Hamilton Real Estate Market
The Hamilton real estate market faced continued shifts in March, as global trade tensions — particularly tariffs and counter-tariffs — put pressure on buyer and seller activity. According to the Cornerstone Association of REALTORS®:
“Continued uncertainty about tariffs and retaliatory tariffs is impacting housing activity.”
While sales slowed, price drops opened new opportunities for buyers.
In total, 701 homes were sold across Hamilton, Burlington, Haldimand County, and Niagara North — the lowest March figure since 2009. Cumulatively, the first quarter recorded 1,854 sales, a 27% drop year-over-year.

Hamilton Real Estate Market Update: February 2025
The Hamilton real estate market saw a 35% decline in sales in February 2025, marking the lowest sales total for the month since 2009. This trend affected both Hamilton and Burlington, according to the Cornerstone Association of REALTORS® (Cornerstone).
Market Trends in Hamilton-Burlington
New listings in the Hamilton-Burlington market fell 9%, aligning with long-term trends. Sales slowed across all regions, with Burlington seeing the most significant drop.
Cornerstone noted that it's too early to tell whether Burlington's decline was a one-time event, especially since the market there has remained relatively stable in recent years. As stated in their report:
“Despite these fluctuations, the market is showing signs of stabilizing and adjusting to long-term trends.”
New Listings and Inventory Statistics
While sales dropped sharply, new listings declined at a more modest rate. Inventory rebounded 28% year-over-year, reaching 2,599 units, the highest February total since 2013.
Cornerstone attributed this inventory growth to increased supply:
“This also led to an increase in months of supply, which reached 4.5 months. This is nearly double the supply seen at this time last year and the second-highest February total on record.”
The decline in sales impacted home prices, with the regional benchmark price recorded at $812,600, reflecting a 3% year-over-year drop. Price decreases were observed across all property types, with semi-detached and row houses experiencing the steepest declines.

Hamilton Real Estate Market Update: January 2025
The Hamilton-Burlington real estate market started 2025 with notable shifts, as reported by the Cornerstone Association of REALTORS® (Cornerstone). This update provides a comprehensive analysis of January 2025 real estate trends, offering valuable insights for homebuyers, sellers, and investors. While covering the broader Hamilton-Burlington region, our primary focus remains on Hamilton’s evolving housing market.
Market Trends: Sales, Listings & Inventory
January saw a decline in home sales, new listings, and inventory, keeping activity below historical averages. While most areas experienced a slowdown, Haldimand County showed modest improvement compared to last year. In contrast, Burlington faced a steeper drop in sales than Hamilton, underscoring variations in local market conditions.
Despite interest rate cuts by the Bank of Canada, mortgage rates remained relatively unchanged, limiting their impact on buyer demand. According to Cornerstone, this cautious market start reflects low consumer confidence and ongoing economic uncertainty.
A key trend to watch is the rising number of new listings, which is outpacing sales and driving the sales-to-new-listings ratio down to 40%—the lowest January level since 2011. This increase in supply has pushed available housing inventory above four months, giving buyers more options.
Even with more homes on the market, benchmark prices have remained stable. The regional benchmark price for January 2025 reached $819,500, marking a 1% increase year-over-year. While detached, semi-detached, and row houses saw price growth, apartment prices declined, signaling a shift in buyer preferences.
Looking Ahead: Hamilton’s Housing Market in 2025
With shifting inventory levels, steady prices, and evolving buyer preferences, Hamilton’s real estate market is entering a dynamic phase. Understanding these trends is crucial for making informed decisions, whether you’re buying, selling, or investing. In the next section, we’ll take a closer look at Hamilton’s January 2025 residential market, breaking down sales activity, price movements, and key factors shaping the months ahead. Stay tuned as we explore the data and uncover what it means for you.

However, new listings surged by 35%, contributing to a sales-to-new-listings ratio of 40%. This increase in supply drove inventory levels up to 1,497 units—the highest for this time of year since 2013. As a result, months of supply remained steady at four months, marking the sixth consecutive month at this level.

According to Cornerstone, price trends varied by property type:
“Year-over-year, prices are down nearly one percent, driven primarily by a 5.6% decline in the apartment condo sector, where prices have adjusted due to a surplus of supply. January reported 6.5 months of supply.”

Summary of Statistics for the Hamilton Real Estate Market Area
The Cornerstone Association of REALTORS® (Cornerstone) reported a decline in home sales, new listings, and inventory for January, keeping numbers below long-term trends. This slowdown was observed in most areas of the region, with the exception of Haldimand County, which showed a modest improvement compared to the previous year. Burlington, on the other hand, experienced a more pronounced drop in sales than Hamilton, underscoring the variations in local market conditions.
Despite the Bank of Canada's interest rate cuts, mortgage lending rates remained relatively stable, minimizing their influence on buyer demand. And it was reported that the regional benchmark price for January 2025 reached $819,500 – a 1% increase year-over-year.
“While we are seeing some short-term challenges in the market, the rise in inventory and the slight increase in benchmark prices reflect a market that remains adaptable, as we move further into 2025, we remain optimistic. Buyers and sellers are taking a more measured approach, but the strength of our housing market, particularly in areas like Haldimand County, shows there are opportunities in every corner of the region.” – Nicolas von Bredow, Cornerstone spokesperson for the Hamilton-Burlington market area
