City-by-City Growth Highlights
Burlington
Burlington saw exceptional growth in North Burlington’s rural areas, up 57.2% in the past year, thanks to growing demand for larger lots and custom builds. Millcroft, Shoreacres, and Aldershot South also continue to perform well, with desirable school zones and community infrastructure helping support long-term value.
Oakville
Oakville remains one of the GTA’s most desirable markets. Morrison leads the city in pricing at $3.9 million, while neighbourhoods like Ford, up 9.7%, and Old Oakville, up 126% over 10 years, continue to see strong growth fueled by luxury development and central locations. Some outer neighbourhoods such as Glenorchy have cooled slightly year-over-year but remain attractive for long-term buyers.
Hamilton
Hamilton offers a diverse mix of urban energy and rural appeal. Ainslie Wood North, up 12.6% year-over-year, and Greensville, with an average price of $1.54 million and 149% growth over 10 years, stand out. Increased demand shows up in both revitalized urban pockets and spacious rural areas. Long-term growth remains especially strong in historic districts like Durand and Ancaster Heights.
A Strong Growth Outlook for 2025
With interest rates projected to decline later this year and buyer confidence on the rise, real estate activity is expected to accelerate across all three markets. This continued growth means these cities offer not just housing, but a lifestyle, a community, and a long-term investment you can feel good about.
Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply keeping an eye on the market, understanding how your neighbourhood is performing helps you stay ahead of where growth is heading next.
