Hamilton the "new" Burlington for Torontonians

09-02-08

I was talking to a potential client from Toronto, about house prices in the Hamilton area, and how there are still some great deals to be had in the Hamilton area. His response was that in Toronto, all his friends were calling Hamilton the "new" Burlington. That although Burlington prices were still better than Toronto, for an extra 10 minute drive, the amount of house one could buy was so much better. So for those who do not need to be in their Toronto office every day, those who can do much of their work through the computer in their home offices Hamilton is an attractive option. With Toronto a 45 minute drive away from West Hamilton it seems many are giving up the hectic over priced lifestyle of Toronto for Hamilton. I thought it might be interesting to give you a sampling of the homes that can be bought in Toronto and a comparable listing in the Hamilton area:

Check out a Million dollar home in Toronto:

$1,040,000 in Toronto

In Hamilton:

$699,000 in Hamilton

$500.000 home:

$540,000 in Toronto

$499,000 in Hamilton

$250,000 home:

$254,000 in Toronto

$254,9000 in Hamilton

For the amount of house that you can get for your money it is no wonder Hamilton is getting greater recognition as a place to move to... Ken
