BURLINGTON, ON
When the list of the Best Places to buy a home was published people who wanted to buy in Burlington knew the city didn’t have a chance of being anywhere near the top of the list.
Burlington isn’t even on the list of 35 cities.
What does it all mean? More people will be looking into the Guelph market which might take some pressure off the Burlington market.
But for those owning homes in Burlington, those sky high prices are just fine.

Affordable Housing strategies never seem to get past the Council table for years and always seem to be raised in an election year. We have several geared to income complexes in Burlington but we are hearing from residents there are serious issues within some of the complexes, particularly with crime. Some residents advise they can no longer order on-line as their orders go missing. Sad, very sad that we are unable to do more.
If this is the 35 census metro areas in Canada, which appears to be the case, then Burlington would be included in Hamilton’s figures.
