If you live in Sherwood and you haven't checked your HonestDoor Price lately, you're probably leaving money on the table. The city's tax assessment is a snapshot from the past. The market right now is a different story - and for most of us here, it's a pretty good one.
Let's break it down by property type, because houses and condos are telling two different stories right now.
This is the headline number for us. Sherwood houses rank 2nd out of 207 comparable neighbourhoods in Hamilton for growth. That's not a typo. Out of 207 neighbourhoods, we're sitting at number two.
Yes, the HonestDoor Price dipped 1.57% from the previous period. Don't panic. When you zoom out, the 3-month trend is pointing up, and an 11.10% recent value change is the kind of number that gets attention. The short-term blip doesn't erase the bigger momentum.
For context, nearby Sunninghill has a predicted value of $1,130,327 for houses, which is higher - but Sherwood's growth rank of 2nd in the city means the gap could be closing fast.
Condos in Sherwood are a more nuanced picture. The value is strong - no question - but the growth trajectory is softer compared to houses.
The condo market here is taking a breather on growth. A rank of 152 out of 193 puts it below average for Hamilton right now. That said, the absolute values are high - over $1.2 million on average - and that Airbnb rank of 16th in the entire city is a real asset for anyone thinking about short-term rental income. Compared to nearby Huntington condos averaging $1,817,032, Sherwood condos still look like relative value.
Here's the thing about your city assessment - it's old data dressed up as current fact. The city runs those numbers on a cycle, and by the time they land in your mailbox, the market has already moved on.
The HonestDoor Price is a real-world check. It pulls from actual market activity and updates in real time. For Sherwood house owners specifically, that 11.10% recent value change and a top-2 growth rank in Hamilton means your assessment is almost certainly lagging behind what your home is actually worth today. If you're making any financial decision - refinancing, selling, even just understanding your net worth - the HonestDoor Price is the number to start with, not the government's last guess.
For condo owners, the HonestDoor Price tells a more cautious story right now, and that honesty is exactly the point. You deserve accurate data, not inflated optimism.
If you own a house in Sherwood, the case for listing this summer is real. Here's why:
If you own a condo, the picture calls for a bit more patience or a sharper pricing strategy. The growth rank of 152nd means competition is stiffer and buyers have options. That said, a $1.2 million average value and a top-16 Airbnb rank in Hamilton gives you a real angle if you're targeting the right buyer - someone who sees income potential, not just a home.
Bottom line: check your HonestDoor Price before you do anything else. For Sherwood house owners especially, the number might surprise you - in the best way.
