Hamilton’s housing market may never be this “affordable” again, a real estate expert says, but for many residents the dream of owning a home remains out of reach.

After years of freefall from the pandemic-era peak, prices in the city appear to have stabilised. August’s median house price sat at $742,000, almost unchanged from a year ago and well below the December 2021 peak of $870,000, according to REINZ data.
