Is NOW actually a good time to buy a house in Hamilton?
It might beโ€ฆ but not for the reason you think. ๐Ÿ‘€

Weโ€™re back with another question from our Google Auto complete Series answering the real estate questions youโ€™re actually searching for. ๐Ÿ”Ž And this one is a BIG one!

The Hamilton real estate market has shifted, and buyers have something they havenโ€™t had much of in recent years: options, time and negotiating power. But does that automatically mean you should buy? Not necessarily.

๐ŸŽฅ Watch before you decide whether you should buy now or wait, especially if Hamilton, Burlington or the surrounding area is on your radar.

Have a real estate question youโ€™ve been Googling? Drop it below ๐Ÿ‘‡ It might be our next one.
And if youโ€™re wondering what this market looks like for your budget, neighbourhood or situation, send us a ๐——๐—  today! ๐Ÿ“ฅ.

What happens when your property has been on the market for 7 months and still hasnโ€™t sold? Sometimes it doesnโ€™t need more time. It just needs a different strategy.

This estate condo had been listed for 7 months without a successful offer. When the listing expired, the family reached out to our team after seeing our real estate marketing and presence throughout the Hamilton-Burlington community.

We gave the property a fresh start; New price, new marketing, new exposure and a new selling strategy. And within 60 days, we ๐—ฆ๐—ข๐—Ÿ๐—— it FIRM for 95% of the asking price, with a quick closing. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

With three POAs involved, communication was a huge part of this sale too. Our job wasnโ€™t just to market and sell the condo it was to keep everyone informed, make the process as seamless as possible, and help this family finally close this chapter and move forward. Congratulations to all ๐Ÿค

An absolute pleasure working with Rachel Morgan, Real Estate Broker Morgan Wasley Group | Real Estate on this one to get it all done! ๐Ÿ‘

Sometimes it takes a few stepping stones to get where you want to be. You might remember we sold T & Hโ€™s home this spring knowing we had a plan; take our time, find the right next home, and be ready to come in strong when we found it.

We looked at a bunch, but they were always missing something. Not enough space or not the right character. Or just simply not worth making the move for.

Then we found this one. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ The space, the character AND an exceptional price point that leaves room for my buyers to make it completely their own. Congratulations again to my amazing buyers ๐Ÿฅฐ

Thereโ€™s something pretty special about repeat clients trusting you with their next chapter. Whether youโ€™ve worked with us before, were referred our way, or weโ€™ve never met, if a move is on your radar, we would love talk and help you make The Smart Moveโ„ข๏ธ

Where should first-time buyers be looking in Hamilton? ๐Ÿ‘€

๐Ÿ“ Delta | Hamilton, Ontario

Character homes. Mature streets. Deep lots. Gage Park around the corner and Ottawa Street just minutes away.

For first-time buyers, couples and young families searching for a Hamilton neighbourhood with charm, walkability and an established community the Delta neighbourhood deserves a spot on the list.

This month, Marcy is taking you through The Delta as part of our Neighbourhood Series showing you the homes, the history and what makes this pocket of the city worth knowing.

If youโ€™ve been searching Hamilton homes for sale, starter homes in Hamilton or the best Hamilton neighbourhoods for first-time buyers, donโ€™t sleep on Delta.

๐Ÿ“Œ Save this one for your home search.

Has anyone actually bought one of the first houses they looked at?๐Ÿ‘€

Well funny you should ask. During our discovery call, these first-time buyers asked me if Iโ€™d ever had clients buy the first house they saw. I said yes. And they basically thought that (and maybe those buyers?! lol) sounded CRAZY. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Fast forward a few showings and while it wasnโ€™t technically house #1., It was house #4. Close enough. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

When the right house, the right location and the right opportunity line up, you just know. And the best part? They didnโ€™t rush into anything. We talked through the market, the numbers, the property and the offer strategy so they could feel confident making a move even if it happened a whole lot faster than they expected (we even got ourselves a home inspection and financing!)

Congratulations to my first-time buyers L & P on officially securing their first home!! ๐Ÿก๐Ÿค And a huge thank you to my past clients who referred them my way. There is truly no bigger compliment than being trusted with your people.

First-time buyer in Hamilton, Burlington or the surrounding area? You donโ€™t need to know exactly where you want to live or how many houses you should see before you buy. You just need a good plan, the right advice and someone in your corner when the right one comes along.

So. ๐Ÿ“ฒ ๐——๐—  us today to help you make The Smart Moveโ„ข๏ธ

Yes, thereโ€™s snow in the photo - trigger warning lol - but this one had a LONG closing, and we are finally here!

Our amazing buyers B & A knew exactly what they wanted when we first sat down in our strategy call to talk about our goals, wants and needs: to be closer to their kids and grandkids, ideally in Twenty Place in Hamilton and find something under budget with good bones and put the rest into renovations to make it their own.
After a few viewings, we found the one. Another offer was already on the table, but we came in firm with the right closing and terms and were able to secure it. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

Congratulations B & A! Helping you through both the sale and purchase of your homes has been such a pleasure. We couldnโ€™t be more grateful to be trusted with such a big move, and especially to have come to you through a referral. ๐Ÿค We canโ€™t wait to see this one after the renos!

Sometimes The Smart Moveโ„ข๏ธ is finding the right location, staying under budget and making the house your own. Call us today to strategize whatโ€™s best for you!
