The real estate market in the Greater Hamilton, Burlington and outlying areas* continued to show increases in listings, sales and average sale price when compared to the same month last year, according to Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) statistics released today by the REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB).
The residential condominium market saw the largest gain with an 11.8 per cent increase in the number of sales when compared to October of last year. The same market also saw a 5.9 per cent increase in average sale price over the same month last year. The 199 condominium sales were better than the ten-year average of 194 sales for the month.
In the residential freehold market, sales were up less than one per cent over the same month last year and average sale price was up 5.1 per cent.
Listings were up over both last year and the 10-year average in all sectors.
“October was certainly a good month for condominium sales,” said RAHB President Ann Forbes Arndt. “It was the sector where we saw significantly higher sales over last year at the same time. Freehold sales were pretty much on par with sales last year at this time, but fell short of the average for this time of year.”
Year to date, listings of residential properties are down 3.4 per cent while sales are down 0.4 per cent for the same ten-month period last year. Average sale price, however, is four per cent higher year to date than last year at the same time. Total dollar volume of $3.195B in residential sales is 3.6 per cent higher than last year for the same period.
“Every community in our marketing area has their own localized residential market with larger swings than we see in the overall numbers,” said Arndt. Waterdown, Flamborough, Glanbook and Hamilton Mountain all saw significant increases in numbers of sales, while Caledonia and Hamilton West showed the largest drops in sales compared to October of last year.
Dundas and Caledonia saw the greatest decrease in average sale price compared to last year while Grimsby, Flamborough and Waterdown had the greatest increases in average sale price.
“These results should not be taken as trends; they are merely snapshots of the market at a particular time,” added Arndt.

Downsizing...Make the Move - By Randy Hart
If you are like many families across Canada, you are living in a larger home than you need. Probably a 3 or 4 bedroom family home, the kids have moved out, and it’s just the two of you now. You are used to this large house, the yard, and have amassed a huge amount of belongings along the way. The majority of the years spent raising your family have been in this very house!
Things change rather quickly when they do; and sometimes adapting to these new changes is a battle that is hard to comprehend. You now have 2 or 3 bedrooms that are used as guest rooms, two fridges, but only need one, and more yard work and house maintenance than you ever have time to do…or want to do. It’s time to think about retirement and downsizing to a smaller more manageable home.
The thought of changing this; leaving this house, moving on to something different can be a tough one. Many questions come to mind during the thought of a move. Where will we go? How much space do we need? What type of home can we afford? We have so much stuff, what will we do with it?
For those planning their retirement, other questions come to mind as they were not able to put away as much as they wanted to during their working years. Will our investments sustain us for the years to come? How do we best manage our retirement funds? Most of the money they will retire with is in the equity of their house. Getting the equity that has built up in your house out, finding somewhere to live, and still being able to put a significant chunk in the bank to last you for the next stage of your life is the major challenge. A tough one at that, as people are now retiring between age 50 and 65, and living in the retirement stage of their life for 25-30 years. It takes a lot of funds to be able to support you during those years. Plus you have all the time now since your retired, to do all the things you wanted to, so spending money seems to be an easy thing to do.
To make this process a successful one for you, the positives and benefits need to be your focus. You need to think about freeing yourself from clutter, freeing yourself from the burden of traditional home ownership and the chores and maintenance that come along with it. Giving you the opportunity, the time, and the money to do the things you have always wanted to do.
There are choices for you, and by setting goals, and getting on the path to achieving these goals is the first step. Some may think a nice little bungalow with minimal stairs is right for them. Others want maintenance free living in a condo or retirement community, and others are even choosing to pool their money with the children (now young adults) and building or buying a home that suits both families with a separate living area or nanny type suite. Whatever your retirement or downsizing goal is, take the first step. Write it down. Then work backwards step by step; forming your plan of action.
This plan of action may include a few loads to the dump, a garage sale, donating some items to the goodwill or other family members. Seeing your financial advisor and discussing your retirement plan and how you will access funds. Meet with a real estate agent to discuss the value of your home, and the best steps to take to prepare the home for sale. Another popular step is meeting with a Seniors Move Management Company to provide assistance in all these areas and even help pack, unpack, and setup in the new home.
While it does seem like a challenging path, it is one comes with many benefits if taken. Choose your final goal, make your plan, meet with your advisors, and take the necessary steps to help you reach that goal. In the words of Nelson Mandela, “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” Take the steps to achieving your goals.

Residential condominium market sees highest gains in September
(October 5, 2011 – Hamilton, Ontario) The real estate market in the Greater Hamilton, Burlington and outlying areas* continued to show increases in listings, sales and average sale price when compared to the same month last year, according to Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) statistics released today by the REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB). The residential condominium market saw the largest gain with a 13.8 per cent increase in the number of sales when compared to last September. The same market also saw a less than one percent decrease in average sale price from September of last year. The 206 condominium sales were better than the ten-year average of 198 sales for the month. “We are heading into the fall market with positive reports on the market,” said RAHB President Ann Forbes Arndt. “In general, we are seeing better-than-average results across the board when we look at last year and the ten-year average.” For the third quarter of the year, numbers of listings and sales in the residential market are well ahead of the same quarter last year, with listings up 10.7 per cent, sales up 13.5 per cent and average sale price up 3.5 per cent. “Last year’s third quarter included the months immediately following the implementation of the HST, when we saw activity in the real estate market drop considerably,” added Arndt, “so it’s no wonder that this year compared so well to last.” While third quarter figures compared favourably to last year’s third quarter, year to date results show a different story. Listings of residential properties are down 3.3 per cent while sales are down 0.5 per cent for the same nine-month period. Average sale price, however, is four per cent higher year to date than last year at the same time. Total dollar volume of $2.895B in residential sales is 3.7 per cent higher than last year for the same period. The numbers for the month of September: “Every community in our marketing area has their own localized residential market with larger swings than we see in the overall numbers,” said Arndt. Hamilton East, Hamilton Centre, Dundas, Flamborough and Glanbrook all saw significant increases in numbers of sales, while Waterdown, Grimsby and Caledonia showed the largest drops in sales compared to September of last year. Stoney Creek and Dunnville were the only communities with a sizeable decrease in average sale price compared to last year. Waterdown and Ancaster had the greatest increases in average sale price. Please refer to the accompanying chart for residential market activities in other parts of RAHB’s jurisdiction. >  *RAHB’s jurisdiction includes Burlington, Waterdown, Flamborough and Dundas in the north; Hamilton, Ancaster, Stoney Creek, and Grimsby along Lake Ontario; and extends down to the shores of Lake Erie, including Glanbrook, West Lincoln, Smithville, Dunnville, Cayuga, Caledonia, and Hagersville.

August Real Estate Market sees Increases Over Last Year
(September 6, 2011 – Hamilton, Ontario) For the third straight month, the real estate market in the Greater Hamilton, Burlington and outlying areas* experienced increases in listings, sales and average sale price when compared to the same month last year, according to Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) statistics released today by the REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB).
The residential freehold market saw the largest gains with a 24.1 per cent increase in number of listings and 12.5 per cent increase in number of sales. The average sale price was up four per cent over August of last year.
In the condominium market, listings were up 13.1 per cent and average sale price up 2.5 per cent over the same month last year.
"The three summer months that just ended were certainly strong months compared to last year," said RAHB President Ann Forbes Arndt. "Remembering that the summer market last year was affected by the HST, we need to look at how well we did in comparison to an average year."
Based on market results over the last ten years, the residential market in August was remarkably average. The only major deviations from the norm were in the number of listings for residential properties, where listings were up over the ten-year average.
While August numbers of listings and sales showed good gains over August of last year, the numbers are quite different for the first eight months of the year. Listings of residential properties are down 3.2 per cent while sales are down 1.4 per cent. Average sale price continues to climb, however, and is 4.4 per cent higher year to date than last year at the same time.
The numbers for the month of August:
All Property Types 2010 2011 % change 10-year average Listings | 1222 | 1498 | 22.6 | 1369 |
Sales | 918 | 1033 | 12.5 | 1036 |
Average Sale Price | $296,872 | $312,092 | 5.1 | N/A |
"Every community in our marketing area has their own localized residential market with larger swings than we see in the overall numbers," said Arndt. Hamilton East, Flamborough, Waterdown, Stoney Creek and Dunnville all saw significant increases in numbers of sales, while Dundas and Caledonia showed the largest drops in sales compared to August of last year.
Dundas was the only community with a sizeable decrease in average sale price compared to last year. Hamilton East, Waterdown and Dunnville (area 61) were the communities with the greatest increases in average sale price.
"You have to use some common sense when looking at the numbers of sales or average sale price increases and decreases for some of the smaller communities," added Arndt. "Sometimes the actual number of sales is small enough that even an increase of seven sales, as we saw in Dunnville this month, translates into a huge percentage. Likewise, a drop of only four sales from last year shows as an 18.2 per cent decrease in sales for Waterdown."

July market activity compares well to last year
(August 4, 2011 – Hamilton, Ontario) The July, 2011 real estate market in the Greater Hamilton, Burlington and outlying areas* experienced an increase in listings, sales and average sale price compared to July of last year, according to Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) statistics released today by the REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB).
It was the condominium market that saw the largest gains over the same month last year, with a 23.3 per cent increase in sales and a six per cent increase in average sale price. The residential freehold market wasn’t far behind, with a 21.3% increase in the number of sales over last year and a 5.6% increase in average sale price.
“July certainly compared very well to last year at this same time,” said RAHB President Ann Forbes Arndt, “but that is something of an unfair comparison, given that last July’s results were adversely affected by the implementation of the HST. What is the more telling comparison is how July stacked up against the average for the month for the last ten years. If you look at those numbers, July was slightly below average in sales and slightly above average for numbers of listings. Only the condominium market showed higher-than-average numbers of sales.”
Overall year to date, residential sales are 2.9 per cent lower than in the same period last year.
The numbers for the month of July:
All Property Types 2010 2011 % change 10-year average
Listings | 1271 | 1483 | 16.7% | 1452 |
Sales | 908 | 1095 | 20.6% | 1132 |
Average Sale Price | $312,334 | $331,721 | 6.2% | N/A |
Residential Only
Listings | 1174 | 1347 | 14.7% | 1327 |
Sales | 880 | 1059 | 20.3% | 1090 |
Average Sale Price | $309,169 | $326,242 | 5.5% | N/A |
Freehold Only
Sales | 681 | 826 | 21.3% | 863 |
Average Sale Price | $330,232 | $348,833 | 5.6% | N/A |
Condominium Only
Sales | 189 | 233 | 23.3% | 227 |
Average Sale Price | $232,160 | $246,155 | 6% | N/A |
Commercial Properties (includes industrial, farm, vacant land and business)
Sales | 28 | 36 | 28.6% |
“Every community in our marketing area has their own localized residential market with larger swings than we see in the overall numbers,” said Arndt. Hamilton West, Hamilton Mountain, Dundas, Grimsby and Glanbrook all saw significant increases in numbers of sales, while Dunnville and Flamborough showed fewer sales compared to July of last year.
Dundas was the only community with a sizeable decrease in average sale price compared to last year. Dunnville and Burlington were the only communities with sizeable increases in average sale price, with Dunnville showing a 13 per cent increase and Burlington a 16.1 per cent increase.

Second quarter results in the residential market show a 3.9 per cent decrease in sales from the same quarter last year, but a 4.6 per cent increase in average sale price.
"This year’s second quarter was decent but couldn’t quite measure up to the results we saw in the second quarter last year," said RAHB President Ann Forbes Arndt. "If you remember, last year had a strong second quarter as buyers were trying to purchase ahead of the implementation of the HST. The number of sales we saw in the second quarter of this year was only 2.6 per cent lower than the ten-year average."

Boomers Ready to Downsize
For their next move, Canadian boomers are looking to downsize to smaller homes. According to the TD Canada Trust Boomer Buyers Report, four-in-five Canadian boomers say their next move will be to a smaller home, either to save money (46 per cent) or to enjoy more luxurious features (34 per cent).
Three-quarters of boomers say it is important that they pay off their mortgage before they retire, but less than half (44 per cent) have paid off their entire mortgage. Of those boomers with a mortgage, one-third have paid off more than 60 per cent, but one-quarter have a long way to go, having paid off less than 25 per cent of their mortgage.
For their next home, the majority of boomers (61 per cent) plan to purchase a detached house. Although condos come in as second choice at 24 per cent, more than half say they are at least considering a condo because they involve less maintenance and offer better security and amenities such as a gym or pool. The top reasons that most boomers prefer houses over condos are that they prefer to have a backyard and garden and don’t want to pay condo fees.
However, some boomers say they will stay put. Forty-nine per cent will not move, either because they want to avoid the hassle of moving, because their house is already the right size for them or they like having extra rooms for guests to visit, says the report.
Nine per cent of boomers currently own a vacation property and a further 12 per cent plan to buy one for their retirement.
More than a third of boomers surveyed are considering buying a property south of the border. One-quarter say opportunities created by the depressed real estate market have sparked their interest, while another 12 per cent were already considering real estate opportunities in the United States. The most important criteria for buying a vacation property include location, price, low maintenance, and the ability to have friends/family visit.
Results for the report were collected through a custom online survey conducted by Environics Research Group. Information provided by http://www.remonline.com/

May Real Estate Association of Burlington-Hamilton (RAHB) - Update
Condominium Average Sale Price Up
(Jun 3, 2011 – Hamilton, Ontario) The May residential real estate market in Burlington saw an 8.8 per cent increase in average sale price from the same month last year, according to Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) statistics released today by the REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB).
While average sale price rose, there was a decrease in the number of listings and sales for the month.
“The numbers may show decreases in listings and sales to last year,” said RAHB President Ann Forbes Arndt, “but when you look at the figures for the last ten years, both are still above average for the month. We had some strong months at the beginning of last year against which we are making comparisons, and we have to keep the bigger picture in mind.”
The numbers for May:
Residential Only 2010 2011 % change 10-year average
Listings | 456 | 451 | -1.1% | 425 |
Sales | 394 | 366 | -7.3% | 358 |
Average Sale Price | $387,901 | $422,110 | +8.8% | N/A |
Freehold Only
Sales | 266 | 251 | -5.6 | 240 |
Average Sale Price | $447,918 | $482,752 | +7.8% | N/A |
Condominium Only
Sales | 128 | 115 | -10.2 | 112 |
Average Sale Price | $263,177 | $289,753 | +10.1 | N/A |
The condominium market saw the larger drop in number of sales but also the larger increase in average sale price. “This is the same picture as we have overall for the Greater Hamilton-Burlington and outlying areas,” added Arndt. “It is the condominium market that has seen the greatest decrease in sales but yet the highest increase in average sale price.”
