The average price of a residential property was $658,161, which is a 1.8% increase from the previous month and up 14.5% from March 2019.

Making this area number one for the month of March. The next area to note would be Stoney Creek, with 129 sales of residential properties. And with an average property price of $623,693. We can now turn out attention to the below map for an overview of the entire Hamilton area.
The above map, Average Residential Price by District for March, makes it possible for us to see how each area did in Hamilton for March 2020. We're able to also to note how many sales there were and the average price of a residential property price. Areas to take special note of for March were sub areas, 16, 42, 51 and 83. Each of those sub areas had the highest number of sales.

Our final chart to review today is the Hamilton Residential Table. It clearly shows that there was a 16% increase in the average price of a residential property of $605,140. With a reported 1,086 new listings and only a decrease of 6% compared to the same time last year.
It was also reported that the average number of days a property was on the market was 21.1 days, 10 days less than March 2019. And when we look at the Sales Activity we can see that there were a total of 723 sales, only a 1% difference compared to the same time last year.

"January and February saw increases in sales and new listings, as well as average price. For March there was growth at the beginning of the month; however, COVID-19 infiltrated our communities mid-month and slowed activity in the latter half. our REALTORS® work to be a part of the solution in the fight to flatten the curve, all the while serving clients who are in great need of their assistance. We are seeing the impact on our market activity and expect to continue to see a slowing of the market as our communities focus on the unprecedented fight." - RAHB President Kathy Della-Nebbia
