Hamilton-Burlington January Statistics

"The Hamilton-Burlington market is showing signs of stability with a slight month-over-month increase in sales despite the year-over-year decline. With homes staying on the market longer and inventory up by over 23% compared to last year, buyers have more options and potentially more negotiating power. The unchanged monthly HPI indicates we may be reaching a pricing plateau after the significant year-over-year adjustments we've seen." - Bill Duce, Cornerstone CEO

Mississauga January Statistics

“January opened 2026 with one of the slowest sales results we’ve seen for this time of year, marking the lowest single-month total since December 2023 and coming in below the long-term norm for January. While new listings surged from December levels, they were still lower than what we saw a year ago. That combination kept active inventory slightly higher and well above typical seasonal levels, giving buyers more choice than we’ve been accustomed to at this time of year. On the pricing side, the MLS® HPI Composite Benchmark began the year lower than last January, reflecting the more cautious tone in the market and ongoing impact of affordability pressures. Even so, we remain cautiously optimistic about 2026. With conditions varying significantly by neighbourhood and property type, working with a REALTOR® can make a meaningful difference." - Bill Duce, Cornerstone CEO

The doubling of new listings from December to January demonstrates renewed seller confidence, especially considering January's challenging weather conditions that included significant snowstorms and periods of extreme cold that prompted weather warnings across the region.” - Bill Duce, Cornerstone CEO
