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 🤞

Hello again 👋 There are a few bathroom locations along the stretch of Hamilton Beach - one by the lift bridge with a water refilling station just off of the bike path by the first parking lot, one at the Lakeview centre with the pool, the ones inside Hutches, more along the bike path at the east end by the "pirate themed" playground before the water park and then one more by the north service road at the most southeast lot where the pickle ball courts & cricket pitch is! Hope that helps 😊🙌

@@TheGenuineRealtors thank you👍😃

@@renegade77892 Anytime! 😊

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 😊

Hi there 👋 The beaches are open year-round! Because of the size of the lake, the waters are still dangerously cold (as in hypothermia is a real concern) through Spring. June/July is when they will be warm enough for a longer swim with August & September being the busiest time of year. Attractions like the Splashpad, pool, etc will open closer to the May Long weekend, while Adventure Village with miniputt, etc are all open from May to September I've covered a lot of the local beaches in this video as well if you were looking for swimming in particular - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nph-q66Hv5itkpc.html

@@TheGenuineRealtors okay thank you so much. That helped. 👍🥰

@@renegade77892 Any time!

@@TheGenuineRealtors are waters safe to swim in. I know Hamilton check the waters.

@@renegade77892 All of the regions will test the water quality regularly - the beaches I've covered are in Hamilton Region, Halton Region & Niagara Region... You can find all of their test results from my landing page here: www.genuinerealtor.com/safetoswim That said, there are some easy tips... Don't go swimming right after heavy rainfall, don't go swimming if you see any large clouds of algae in the water & always check the water quality before heading out to the beach. Lastly, DO NOT FEED THE BIRDS - not only does bread kill them slowly, it also increases the fecal pollutants in the water which creates water pollution & is a huge contributor to unsafe water quality. Hope that helps!

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 😊 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iLmqqc9m1L6miZ8.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. If you feel like brushing up on what's ACTUALLY happening in the real estate market vs. repeating clickbait headlines, feel free to check this insider look I shared earlier this year - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrycpNel0J62gKM.html

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 KZfaq video SEO and have a proper understanding of KZfaq 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! [email protected]

@@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 🎥: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrycpNel0J62gKM.html

How does the south Burlington you know differ? This home is in Pinedale (Appleby to Burloak, New St to Harvester) so definitely south Burlington 😊

Well, I’m glad it’s popping up when you search locally! Also, what an incredible place to live most of your life 🥰🙌

Hello 👋 Thanks for watching & taking the time to comment! I'm so glad your son passed along the video. The market is shifting & a "good time to sell" will depend on a lot of factors - ie. how long you would like to stay in your home or if you're ready to downsize now, how much money you would need to get through retirement/considering moving to a condo so it's less maintenance but your equity is still growing (it's a great time to buy a condo right now due to increased inventory), etc. I would love to schedule a visit with you to chat about where you are at, what your goals are & how we can help you get there! I have shared with multiple people this year already that it's not the best time for them to sell for various reasons, so please know I will not try to pressure you to sell, but rather listen to your situation & help offer options/advise you on what each path would look like. That way, you're making the right decision for you! You can feel free to email me or call 😊 [email protected] 905-639-3300 ext 3 Looking forward to connecting with you 🙂

Hi there! Thanks so much for watching & for reaching out! My apologies we haven't connected yet - we've had some staff turnover & I'm wondering what happened as I can't seem to find an email from you to reply to 😥 Would you please send an email to [email protected] & I will personally keep an eye out for it!

Yes! The Seller will be the one deciding if they want to be open & transparent or not (it's not mandated by law), but the Buyer's privacy will always be protected. It's going to be interesting to see who decides to opt for transparency!

Thank you so much for the continued support, taking the time to watch & engage means a lot 😊 We'll keep representing our clients & homeowners to hopefully ensure our kids can afford a home of their own one day! We can also chat about options to help them in the future -- I'll send you an email with some information 📧

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch Hank! Hope you're doing well 😊🙏

Thanks so much for watching!

That's great to hear! Glad my videos helped you appreciate the value in Hamilton 😊 Did you end up using a local Realtor to help you or someone from Markham?

My wife is in banking and processes over 50 mil in mortgages per year so she used a broker from North York who had Hamilton experience but I will say a local broker with your kind of life experience would have saved me endless hours of research about the region but then again, then I wouldn’t have seen your video 😊

@@johnfeedback6784 I'm glad you had someone you trusted working with you! Hopefully the inspection went well & yay for being in a market where buyers can do their due diligence 🙌🎉

@@TheGenuineRealtorsTo be fair, I am a real estate noob, very much lost and learning as I went. Much to your credit, If I had it to do over again, I would have searched for an agent local to the market I wanted to buy in, that way my agent could work more effectively with me rather than me having to research everything that my agent doesn't know from another agent. ;\ Live and learn. My agent was a sweet person though so I had to show some loyalty.

Any building, heritage or not, that isn't maintained is going to deteriorate. I've seen newer builds falling apart while 100+ year-old homes stand strong. Depends on the maintenance, construction & pride of ownership over the years 😊

You want to ship our problems off to other communities? Those smaller with even less help in the addiction crisis than our main city centres??

Much of the vacant buildings are waiting for development permits & funding.

We would need to pay enough for those workers to afford living in the City of Hamilton too...

There are at least 3 community athletic centres around the core I can think of off the top of my head... not all directly downtown, but a block or two past.

Not sure what Toronto is doing 🤔
