The trend
City of Hamilton, Dec 24 to Sep 26, by property type.
Source: the Hamilton board / ITSO Monthly Indicators reports through September 2026. Values are transcribed from the rolling 12-month tables in each report. Chart counts add the Single Family and Townhouse/Condo rows, so they can sit a little under the board's all-properties total, which includes a few other property types. Prices are kept per property type only, because a blended average requires sales weighting and the published all-properties figure is compiled separately. Chart data covers the City of Hamilton.
