The large backyard is ready for any new concept including a shed ready to house all the creature comforts for outdoor living and maintenance. Every inch of this 1464 sq2 raised bungalow is used for living. Out of sight storage to keep the home looking shiny and new as it is flooded with natural light from all the new windows. Brand new high efficiency Lennox furnace, water heater and appliances ensure worry free living as well as the City of Hamilton mandated Radon detection system.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $893/sqft, this property is priced in line with current Hamilton market conditions. The pricing suggests the seller has done their homework. We may have modest room for negotiation, typically 2-4% in today's market.
Negotiation Opportunity
At 137 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for Hamilton. This creates leverage for buyers. The seller may be motivated by carrying costs, life circumstances, or previous deals falling through. I'd recommend a strategic offer below asking with terms that favour you.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Hamilton are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
Efficient Living
At 700 sqft, this is a more compact space. The upside: lower utility bills, less maintenance, and easier cleaning. Consider how you'll use the space - built-in storage, multi-functional furniture, and good organization become important. Great for singles, couples, or those who prefer a low-maintenance lifestyle.
Starter Home Potential
3 bedrooms works well for couples planning families or small families with one child. Consider whether you might outgrow the space in 5-7 years. If so, factor in potential moving costs when making your decision. Alternatively, some buyers convert a bedroom to an office and make it work long-term.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Hamilton properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $2,604 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
