Hamilton-Burlington real estate remains active during coronavirus lockdown – Global News
Despite a provincial lockdown in Ontario due to a surge in COVID-19 cases, real estate agents were still busy in Hamilton and Burlington.
Realtors Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB) president Donna Bacher says they did “not see the effects on the number of sales and new listings” that they did during the spring lockdown.
A total of 913 homes were sold in the region last month, down 25.9 per cent from November, but up 41.6 per cent over December of 2019.
The average price for a home in Hamilton-Burlington was $729,853 last month, up 1.04 per cent from November, and 25.4 per cent higher compared to December 2019.
Bacher says the strong monthly statistics “could be the result of continued low interest rates, coupled with increasing consumer confidence due to the approval of the COVID-19 vaccine in Canada.”
New listings were down 47.8 per cent over November 2020 and up 34 per cent over December 2019.
The number of active listings available at the end of 2020 was 52.2 per cent lower compared to the previous year.

Calgary Real Estate Board predicts COVID-19, decreased demand for oil to hamper housing market – Global News
Calgary’s real estate board is predicting home sales, prices and new listings will be on the rise in 2021, but their growth will be restricted by the continued impacts of COVID-19 and reduced demand for oil.
The Calgary Real Estate Board says in its annual outlook report that overall sales in the Alberta city and its surrounding neighbourhoods will reach 16,928, a five per cent increase from 16,151 in 2020.
CREB is forecasting that prices will edge up by 1.3 per cent to hit $423,307.
While new listings fell by nearly nine per cent last year and resulted in the slowest year for new listings since 2002, CREB is expecting they will rise in 2021 as owners who delayed sales during the early stages of the pandemic put their homes on the market.
CREB says the market will be helped along by low lending rates and pent-up demand for homes, but persistently high unemployment could spell trouble for the region.
CREB believes the region’s housing supply would see big gains if layoffs continue and people need to adjust their housing to match their new employment situation.
The board warns that consolidation in the energy sector is expected to continue, which would hamper employment and housing activity in the higher price ranges.
