In November 2020, the REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington reported a total of 1,233 sales of residential properties located within the market area of Hamilton-Burlington.

On the other hand, in the same month of November, the listings reduced by 28.98% as compared to October 2020 but increased by 16.3% from that recorded in November 2019. Moreover, the average price for the residential property was $722,317, a 0.11% increase from October and a 21.2% increase from November 2019. Nonetheless, at the end of the month, the active listing was 40.8% lower than that of November 2019.
Concerning the low inventory in November 2020, Kathy Della-Nebbia, the president, said that it slowed as a result of cold weather, rising cases of COVID-19 throughout the province, and the relocation on November 16 to Red Zone, a location that has banned open houses. Moreover, sellers are not listing their homes when they still haven't found other homes to buy. This has led to the low number of active listings which increases the average prices of residential property.
Sales and Listings of Single-Family Property
In November 2020, the number of sales of these properties within the RAHB market decreased by 3.8% compared to November 2019. Furthermore, the number of new listings also reduced by 10.5% compared to the previous year. Moreover, the average sale price was $812,912, a 24.4% increase from the last year. Additionally, the sales activity in the entire market increased by 15.2% from November 2019 and the new listings increased by 19%. Nonetheless, the average sale price was $606,367, a 17.6% increase. According to Della-Nebbia, the activity for the property was slower since fewer sellers listed their homes at that time. However, they are still in demand since the towns and apartments are still active.

In November 2020, the sales for such property increased by 14.8% from the previous year. Also, the listings increased by 37.3% as the average price recorded was $455,238, a 1.4%increase.
