As we head into 2026, the real estate market across Hamilton, Burlington, and the surrounding areas feels… familiar, and honestly, that’s a good thing.

What we’re seeing is consistency.

The way 2025 wrapped up is pretty much how we’re starting the new year: more homes on the market, a slower pace, and a lot less frenzy.

Things feel calmer and more balanced, which gives everyone a chance to breathe and make decisions that actually make sense, instead of rushing just to keep up.

What we’re seeing now isn’t dramatic ups or downs; it’s consistency. And consistency is a good thing.

For buyers, this is one of the best windows we’ve seen in years. More inventory means more choice, fewer bidding wars, and real conversations at the negotiating table.

For sellers, homes are still selling,  especially when they’re priced right, marketed well, and guided by professionals who know how to navigate today’s conditions.

And of course, real estate doesn’t stop just because the market cools. People still need to make moves because of divorce, loss, retirement, downsizing, or a new chapter calling, and those moments deserve care, clarity, and experience.

That’s where our Coldwell Banker Community really shines. Even in a tougher market, our brokerage outperformed the local market by 6% in productivity.

We’re showing up, staying proactive, getting things done and helping people move forward with confidence.
