Low Inventory Going Into Spring Market

The REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB) reported 779 sales were processed through the RAHB Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) System in January.  Sales were 9.3 per cent higher than the same month last year and four per cent higher than the 10-year average.

There were 1,248 properties listed in January, a decrease of 14.9 per cent compared to January of last year, and the lowest number of listings taken in a January for the last 10 years.

“Last month’s sales were like the weather in January – warmer than usual,” said RAHB CEO George O’Neill. “When you put higher than average sales with the lowest number of new listings in 10 years, you get a continued seller’s market to start the year.  Currently there is less than three months of listing inventory to move forward toward the spring market.”

Seasonally adjusted* sales of residential properties were 12.3 per cent higher than the same month last year, with the average sale price up 7.5 per cent for the month.  Seasonally adjusted numbers of new listings were 11.6 per cent lower than January of 2015.

Seasonally adjusted data for residential properties for the month of January, 2016:
Seasonally

Actual overall residential sales of 735 units were 7.8 per cent higher than the same month last year.  Residential freehold sales were 9.2 per cent higher than January of 2015 while sales in the condominium market increased by less than one per cent.

The average price of freehold properties showed an increase of 8.6 per cent compared to January of last year; the average sale price in the condominium market increased by 1.3 per cent when compared to the same period.

The average sale price is based on the total dollar volume of all properties sold by RAHB members.  Average sale price information can be useful in establishing long term trends, but should not be used as an indicator that specific properties have increased or decreased in value. Contact a REALTOR® for information about your area or property.

The average days on market increased from 46 to 49 days in the freehold market and decreased from 51 to 50 days in the condominium market when compared to the same month the previous year.

“It is always advisable to use the services of a REALTOR® when you are listing or selling a home,” added O’Neill, “but it’s especially important in a prolonged seller’s market such as we are experiencing.  REALTORS® can help home sellers price their homes appropriately for the market, and help home buyers compare and pay a fair market value for their new home.”

Fifth straight month for record sales

The REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB) reported 802 sales were processed through the RAHB Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) System in December of 2015.  Sales were 1.3 per cent higher than the same month the previous year, 17.6 per cent higher than the 10-year average, and were a new record for the month of December.  This is the fifth month in a row where the record for monthly sales has been broken.

“It has clearly been another exceptional month for real estate sales in the RAHB market area,” said RAHB CEO George O’Neill. “December sales are always among the lowest of the year because of the holidays and the weather, but this year’s sales were the highest ever for the month.  It seems an appropriate way to end a year which saw so many previous sales records fall.”

There were 679 properties listed in December, a decrease of 3.4 per cent compared to December of the previous year.

Seasonally adjusted* sales of residential properties were 2.8 per cent higher than the same month of the previous year, with the average sale price up 9.1 per cent for the month.  Seasonally adjusted numbers of new listings were virtually the same as the same month the year before.

Seasonally adjusted data for residential properties for the month of December, 2015:

November’s Sales Another Monthly Record

(December 3, 2015 – Hamilton, Ontario)  The REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB) reported 1,262 sales were processed through the RAHB Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) System in November.  Sales were 15.1 per cent higher than the same month last year, 23.8 per cent higher than the 10-year average, and were a record for the month of November.  This is the fourth month in a row where records for monthly sales have been broken.

There were 1,340 properties listed in November, an increase of 2.8 per cent compared to November of last year.

“Low inventory and a record number of sales for the month is a recipe for a continued seller’s market,” said RAHB CEO George O’Neill. “With only a little over two months of inventory, and a high sales to new listings ratio, we are continuing in the seller’s market that has persisted in our area .”

Seasonally adjusted* sales of residential properties were 18.9 per cent higher than the same month of the previous year, with the average sale price up 6.8 per cent for the month.  Seasonally adjusted numbers of new listings were 1.7 per cent higher than the same month the year prior.

Seasonally adjusted data for residential properties for the month of November, 2015:

Seasonally

 

Actual overall residential sales of 1,211 units were 15.2 per cent higher than the same month last year.  Residential freehold sales were 17.8 per cent higher than last November while sales in the condominium market increased by 4.5 per cent.

The average price of freehold properties showed an increase of nine per cent compared to the same month the previous year; the average sale price in the condominium market decreased by 0.8 per cent when compared to the same period.

The average sale price is based on the total dollar volume of all properties sold by RAHB members.  Average sale price information can be useful in establishing long term trends, but should not be used as an indicator that specific properties have increased or decreased in value.

“It’s interesting to note,” added O’Neill.  “that while the overall average sale price is almost ten per cent higher than last year at this time, it has actually been fairly level since February.  There’s been a little up and down movement in average price, but mostly within a $10,000 range, with the exception of August when we saw the highest average sale price for this year.”

The average days on market decreased from 40 to 36 days in the freehold market and from 39 to 34 days in the condominium market when compared to the same month the previous year.

Year to date, sales are 11.5 per cent higher compared to the same period last year; listings are 6.1 per cent higher than last year and the average sale price is 8.5 per cent higher for the period.

The average days on market decreased from 41 to 35 days in the freehold market and from 38 to 35 days in the condominium market when compared to the same month the previous year.
