Thank you!

It's all me 😊🙌 Thanks for watching & taking the time to comment!

What about Corktown?

So appreciate you taking the time to comment! Thanks for watching 😊

Based on? If it's your opinion because you've experienced a dangerous situation, I'm sorry to hear that. I've lived downtown most of my life & have only ever felt unsafe or in danger once. That's not to say that things don't happen, but if you look at the statistics we are a VERY safe place to live... Burlington has a crime severity index (CSI) of 23.95, significantly lower than the national average of 78.10. The index measures both the volume and seriousness of crimes reported. The lower the CSI the safer the community.

You're not wrong - it has changed so much over the years! Especially in the newer developments... luckily there are still lots of small-town charm places to call home not too far outside of Waterdown! Where did you end up moving to?

Thanks Matt! They sure will 😊🙌

Agreed! It's absolutely gorgeous 😍

There's so much history in Burlington & many of us locals don't know the half of it -- myself included😅 Thanks for watching & taking the time to comment!

Honestly, there are so many visitors from all over the world! From Dundurn Castle to the waterfalls to people exploring the campuses for post-secondary, it's a cornucopia of people visiting the city!

Thank you so much for watching & taking the time to comment 😊

You should go see for yourself in person then! Feel free to share your own video of just the gardens but after so many positive comments, it's nice to see someone comment on the flip side - also reminded me I should get back to sharing each of the individual locations! Enjoy your time at the RBG!

... I just rewatched as well... I'm on screen maybe 10% of the video... you must have stopped watching right off the hop, but thanks for taking the time to comment 😊

No - you should support the conservation areas & can buy day passes, just click on "Day Pass" hcareservations.ca/

It's not for everyone that's for sure! There are also lots of different areas to live inside of Hamilton which all have their own unique vibe. Where did you end up moving to?

Thanks for watching & taking the time to comment!

Hamilton is Hell

Us too!

There are lots of other areas you can move to nearby if Hamilton isn't where you want to live...

All great tips! I assume you're talking about Burlington Beach specifically? There were 17 in the video so want to make sure anyone reading your comment knows which beach you're referring to ☺️

No estoy seguro de cómo agregar subtítulos en español, pero veré qué puedo hacer para ayudar a que el video sea más accesible para otros idiomas 😊 Hope Google Translate did an ok job with converting to Spanish 🤞

I love all of this! Thank you for sharing your journey over the years & I couldn't agree more 🙌

Classic boomer in denial.

@@Jonny-o3l I don't see any denial here...

There are so many I am excited to visit again this summer 🤩 Thanks so much for watching & taking a moment to comment!

Don’t worry, there are lots of other cities/towns in the area to pick from but also - Hamilton is a very large city made up of some many communities which don’t deal with a lot of the issues you mentioned. I always try to avoid painting the entire city with one brush 😊

Thanks for reaching out! The playground shown at 3:30 is Churchill Park - Westdale Hamilton (by McMaster University). It's just behind Cootes Paradise Elementary School. Also has a small splash pad as well as trails into the Royal Botanical Gardens "Cootes Paradise" marshes. One of the best places for a picnic & a hike for kids!

Thanks for watching! Hamilton is known as steel-town so there's that 😊 Rent & affordability is a concern across Canada right now... while some areas are more reasonable than others, Hamilton is certainly feeling the pinch. The next election cycle is showing us that politicians are hearing the people & there are some ideas on the table. Only time will tell if it's really effective or not 🤞 Where is home for you in the states?

Thanks for reaching out Paula! Which clip were you looking for the location of? There are a lot of different places shared in this one 🥰 If you give a description of the scene, I'll let you know where I filmed it!

Appreciate you taking the time to share your sarcasm with us 😉

That policy was announced in 2018 & anything is possible in the future, but I haven't seen any updates about them increasing the allowances yet.

You must not have watched to the end 🤷🏻‍♀️ But also, Hamilton is SO much more than it’s downtown & north end. If that’s all you see in the city then no amount of discussion from me will help you see what so many others do… Hamilton is absolutely an incredible place to call home. You just need to be smart about where you choose to live & how it fits into your lifestyle.

Many of these were filmed during the pandemic when families were at home. Check out the latest episode about Spencer Smith Park if you'd like to see some families enjoying downtown Burlington 😊 th-cam.com/video/RSzvl5oXBYk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XfXt2f5Ol7_dve5_

Thanks for taking the time to comment - appreciate it! But, I'd say there's some inaccuracies in your comment... Inventory is still down, so no - everyone is not trying to sell their house now. Taxes are always on the rise... so nothing new there. Rates always have the possibility of rising... just as they have the possibility of holding or dropping - just take a look at the US reports & how Bank of Canada will respond to the recent announcements to the south. Biggest housing bubble in the world? Supply & demand is at work here... so with the new starts (aka new homes being built) being 1 for every 25 new residents coming to Canada, it will be highly unlikely the GTA "bubble" will burst barring some catastrophic events.

Thanks Allen! They’ve taken great care of the home 🙌

Thanks for assisting the algorithm with your comment. However, I get the same email 10+ times per week from people like yourself... and while I appreciate the tenacity, I am not interested & really do not want to have to start dealing with comments on my videos from people offering services like yours in addition to the emails I already deal with. The purpose of my channel is not to have millions of views, but rather to help a small few really become acquainted with the area & hopefully trust me to guide them through their real estate transactions... just know it is a waste of time to keep persuing me & you should drop me from your follow up list.

Your video is very beautiful. The video quality is high. I enjoyed it. I noticed one thing: according to your channel, your channel videos are not viewed and subscribed. You need to optimize your channel and do video SEO to reach your target audience. Otherwise, if you upload videos to your channel throughout the year, none of your videos will get viral views. I am Arafat Amin and I am a Freelancer, I have 2+ years of experience in TH-cam video SEO and have a proper understanding of TH-cam video SEO. I have completed 1500+ video SEO projects. My goal is to provide the best services. Thank you Arafat Amin

@@TheGenuineRealtors ok no problem

I made this video 2+ years ago... I don't know what you're referring to. If you fill me in with what exactly you're referring to, I will be happy to elaborate.

Allan what a great idea!! You're the second person to mention Joseph Brant 😅 Something I will be mentioning to relocation clients more often now! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season with the family ✨ Here's to an incredible 2024!!

Thanks so much for taking the time to comment & connect! Glad you've found the channel helpful so far... there are some exciting videos in production right now that will definitely help you decide if the western shores of Lake Ontario are right for you! Up next is Spencer Smith Park, Burlington's main park downtown & will showcase much of the lifestyle Burlintonians enjoy! But more helpful for you would be the Seasons series I'm working on! It will give you a solid idea of what living here is like year-round! (This winter we haven't had any snow stick around & it's been very UK like with the fog & rain) If you're looking to connect directly, you can connect on my socials (TheGenuineRealtor) or feel free to email with any questions! Hello@GenuineRealtor.com

@@TheGenuineRealtors Many thanks for your reply. We've watched loads of your videos and looking forward to seeing the others. Very much looking forward to further research and planning with a view to joining you. All the very best and hopefully speak soon.

Well how strange is that! Uploaded with sound everywhere but here 🤦🏻‍♀ Thanks for letting me know! instagram.com/reel/C079AE4uvNP/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

The time is now if you want in for this year's contribution 😊🙌

Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching & taking the time to connect 😊

Thanks so much for watching Susan! It's a fine balance because everyone's threshold for what's desirable can be so different. I'm happy to connect & see if I can help 😊

Yes, it was intentionally not mentioned as the #ORWP is for Realtor members, whereas my channel is geared towards the public who are not affected by it 👍 I’m glad it’s on your radar though!

@@TheGenuineRealtors Of course it's on my radar. It should be on EVERY REALTORS radar. You should do a video about it.

@@ONTARIOREALTORS Maybe I'll do something on my socials, but again this is very much client-facing content so it doesn't fit the audience I'm growing here.

It is! Let me know if you have any other questions 😊

Hi Patrick - thanks for watching & taking the time to ask a question! You're absolutely correct, to live in the GTHA (Greater Toronto-Hamilton Area) you would need to be making around $50,000 per year... this is the estimate for a living wage here. I did do a video recently touching on it, but if you scroll down to "Home Affordability" (about halfway through the webpage) you'll be able to read the snippet about the costs of living here recently 👉 www.genuinerealtor.com/the-shifting-real-estate-market-fall-2023 🎥: th-cam.com/video/PVlqttk8RPo/w-d-xo.html
