Hamilton Real Estate Market Recovering: Grant Paterson

Latest figures show the Hamilton real estate market is undergoing a major recovery in 2012, says Lodge real estate’s “Rookie Of The Year” for 2011/2012, Hamilton-based Grant Paterson.

“February showed a 55% increase in the number of properties sold in the same month the previous year,” saysPaterson.

“There were 260 houses sold during the month of March and that was up 24% up on the same month a year earlier,” Grant Paterson says.

“The slight increase in the median selling price to $330,000 is reflective of the previous few months’ higher level of activity at the lower end of the market having a slight ripple effect through to the next bracket.   We do however feel that prices have not risen as the market is still price sensitive,”Patersonsaid.

Patersonsaid the increase in the number of property sales does mean that stock levels are now low and we are finding that we have many buyers chasing fewer well presented, well priced properties.”
