Cornerstone Real Estate Market Update: February 2026

HAMILTON, ON (March 3, 2026)

Hamilton-Burlington-Haldimand-Niagara North February 2026 Statistics

"With inventory levels up and a modest month-over-month increase in sales, the Hamilton-Burlington market area is showing signs of stability. With more inventory to choose from and longer days on market, buyers are benefiting from more time and options. The HPI has posted two consecutive monthly increases, and in February, it reached its strongest level over the past four months, suggesting we may be approaching a new equilibrium after last year’s price corrections." - Bill Duce, Cornerstone CEO
