Chris Ouzas · Notes on the market
Plain-language notes on Hamilton, Burlington, and Oakville real estate, with the numbers behind them.
Oakville · September 2, 2026
Both are harbour villages on Lake Ontario with a walkable main street. Both get asked about in the same breath by buyers who want water in their daily life. Here is how they differ, and which buyer each one suits.
Oakville · September 2, 2026
Oakville's overall average sale price is up 5.6 per cent, but that headline hides five very different markets. Here is what July told us about each home type, and where in town each one concentrates.
Hamilton · September 2, 2026
In June 2026 the average Toronto sale price ran about $335,000 higher than Hamilton's. That gap buys a different kind of house, a real commute, and a smaller tax bill at closing.
Hamilton · September 2, 2026
Detached houses and townhouses, semis, and condos are not the same market right now. One is thinning out at higher prices. The other is selling faster on lower prices. Here is what the June 2026 numbers say about each, and what they mean if you are buying or selling.
Burlington · September 2, 2026
Three established Burlington neighbourhoods, three different buyers. Here is how Aldershot, Roseland, and Millcroft compare on housing stock, lots, schools, and commute, and who each one really suits.
Burlington · September 2, 2026
Burlington has three stations on GO Transit's Lakeshore West line: Aldershot, Burlington, and Appleby. Buyers ask us all the time which one to build a search around. Here is how the three compare, and which neighbourhoods sit closest to each.
