5 most expensive homes for sale in Hamilton for November 2022
Published December 12, 2022 at 3:41 pm
The housing market in Hamilton has seen a shift, giving buyers more leverage due to an increase in supply in November — largely boosted by rising interest rates.
The Bank of Canada has raised interest rates seven times since March. Last week, the prime rate increased from 5.95 to 6.45 per cent.
According to Zoocasa, Hamilton–Burlington home prices have significantly changed since the initial rate hike, dropping by 21.71 per cent. The average home in the area was $1.07 million in February. In November, the average home sold for just over $830,000.
In fact, the five most expensive homes listed last month sold for below the asking price.
Here are the five most expensive homes for sale in Hamilton, according to Zoocasa’s November data:
5)

What will 5,000 square feet cost you? In the Parkview Heights neighbourhood, it could cost you $3.15 million.
