Hamilton real estate: Flamborough's average home prices soar in October. What else sold? – TheSpec.com

Residential properties in Flamborough and Burlington were among the highest-priced sales in the area in October, and also the lowest, says the Realtors Association of Hamilton-Burlington.

The three most expensive homes sold in the RAHB market area — which includes Hamilton, Burlington, Haldimand and parts of Niagara West — last month were in Flamborough, Burlington and Ancaster, and ranged from $2.7 million to $2.8 million.

RAHB president Kathy Della-Nebbia says all three areas have seen an increase to the average sale price over the past year, but Flamborough’s gains have been most significant.

“Flamborough’s average price in October was $1,106,337, which is up 48.3 per cent from last year,” she said, noting the whole region has seen steady traffic from people coming from elsewhere, thanks to an increase in remote working. “The pandemic has also highlighted the value of space within and outside a property, and we are seeing this reflected in the types of properties that are in demand, namely single-family detached (homes).”

The three least expensive October sales were two properties in Flamborough and one in Burlington.

“The two properties in Flamborough are … more than likely modular properties within a lease land community,” she said. “The bottom sale in Burlington is an apartment-style property that is most likely a co-operative ownership.”

This mid-century home was designed by Toronto architect Jerome Markson and built around 1957. It’s on a deep lot at the end of the cul-de-sac, backing onto the Bruce Trail.

The sellers of this home bought it in 1972, says realtor Reisha Dass. Their sons are now adults; their mother sold the home to move in with one of her sons, says Dass.

The home has dated fixtures but is on a good-sized lot close to the waterfront and downtown. “Here’s an affordable opportunity for those looking for a lighter venture,” said the listing, targeting investors, renovators and flippers.
