PRESS RELEASE \u2013 For immediate release November 3, 2017 (Hamilton, Ontario)
\nThe REALTORS\u00ae Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB) reported 1,317 sales were processed through the RAHB Multiple Listing Service\u00ae (MLS\u00ae) System in October, 6.5 per cent fewer than the same month last year and 10.9 per cent higher than the 10-year average.
\nAll property listings were 12.2 per cent higher than the same month last year, 14.3 per cent higher than the 10-year average, and set a new record for the month of October.
\n\u201cWe are continuing to see more listings come onto the market after the severe shortage we saw earlier this year,\u201d said RAHB CEO George O\u2019Neill. \u201cSales have also rebounded a bit after the lower sales we saw over the last three months, resulting in a sales-to-new-listing ratio at 69 per cent in the residential market. After a few months in a more balanced market, we have just had a month where we moved to the lower end of a seller\u2019s market again. We don\u2019t know if this one month is indicative of a shift in the market or just a one-month result.\u201d
\nSeasonally adjusted* sales of residential properties were 18.7 per cent lower than the same month last year, with the average sale price up four per cent for the month. Seasonally adjusted numbers of new listings were 17.1 per cent higher than October of 2016.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
