Hamilton Market Update: July 2026
Hamilton continues to offer some of the strongest affordability in the region, and the completed July 2026 numbers show a market that is easing gradually rather than swinging sharply in either direction. Here is a full breakdown of what happened in Hamilton last month, from Ryan and Vicky Urban and the Urban Group Realty team.
Hamilton Home Prices in July 2026
Residential homes in Hamilton sold for an average of $748,750 in July 2026, down 3.0% from July 2025. The median sale price was $660,000, down 4.3% year over year, showing a consistent, modest softening across the price spectrum rather than a shift concentrated at one end of the market.
Hamilton Sales Activity and Inventory
There were 515 residential sales in Hamilton in July 2026, down 5.8% from 547 a year earlier. New listings dropped further, down 19.6% to 1,022, and ending inventory fell 13.1% to 2,328. Homes took a bit longer to sell, with average days on market up 10.5% to 42 days, while the median held flat at 29 days.
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
Hamilton’s numbers point to a market finding balance. Prices have eased modestly, giving buyers a bit more room, while a steeper pullback in new listings than in sales suggests supply is tightening even as prices soften. That combination tends to keep the market from swinging too far in either direction.
