Moving? Summer Cleaning? Call Habitat for Humanity Today!

Founded in 1991, Habitat for Humanity Hamilton is an independent, not-for-profit housing program that works to break the cycle of poverty by building affordable housing and promoting homeownership. They mobilize local volunteers, community members, service clubs, organizations and corporate partners, seeking to create a world where everyone has a safe and decent place to live. They implement an on-going development model called the Home Build Program. Within this program, we build homes and provide interest-free and geared-to-income mortgages to hard-working and deserving families who otherwise could not afford homeownership. Supported by hundreds of volunteers, Habitat Hamilton has accommodated 19 partner families locally since our incorporation and is one of Habitat Canada’s fastest growing affiliates, with six homes currently under construction! Their service area encompasses the City of Hamilton, Haldimand County and the territories of the Six Nations of the Grand River and the Mississaugas of the New Credit. This service area is comprised of a total population of approximately 800,000 people. Habitat for Humanity Hamilton is an affiliate organization of Habitat for Humanity Canada, which has served over 2,700 families nationwide since its inception in 1985. Internationally, Habitat’s improved the shelter conditions of 1 million more. The ReStore offers new and gently used home improvement tools and materials at exceptionally low costs. They are open to the public! Whether you are a homeowner, renovator, contractor or simply an avid "do-it yourselfer," the ReStore has exactly what you're looking for.

Your Market Update - July 2017

Image
The official housing market numbers for July won't be out for a few days, but early indications show a big jump in the number of homes for sale in the Hamilton and Burlington real estate market as of early this week. It could be the first sign that provincial moves to cool the GTA and Hamilton hot housing markets are having an effect. The lower the number of listings, the more tilted the market is in favour of sellers, fostering bidding wars and higher prices. Consider the symptoms of Hamilton's overheated housing market: Bidding wars with 10-12 offers, offers coming in way over the asking price, or offers submitted with no conditions within a couple of days of the "FOR SALE" sign going up. Will buyers be so inclined to play by those "rules" if they feel they have more choices? In April, the provincial government announced measures to try to help cool Toronto's extreme housing market growth, with an additional focus on the Greater Golden Horseshoe.
