Milton Real Estate Market Update: August 2025 Inventory Up, Sales Slip – A Buyer’s Market in Milton As summer winds down, Milton’s housing market reflected broader regional trends, with a modest shift in buyer behaviour and a noticeable rise in inventory. According to the latest data compiled by the Flowers Team, 132 homes were sold in August 2025 , marking a small 0.76% increase compared to August 2024. But what stands out most is the sharp growth in new listings , which jumped 22.85% year-over-year , bringing the total new inventory to 371 homes. This uptick in listings has tipped the scales in favour of buyers. With a sales-to-new listings ratio of 36% , Milton firmly sits in a buyer’s market , where supply is outpacing demand and buyers have more leverage in price negotiations.

Expert Voices Weigh In on Market Conditions “Compared to last year, we have seen a modest increase in home sales over the summer,” noted TRREB President Elechia Barry-Sproule . “With the economy slowing and inflation under control, additional interest rate cuts by the Bank of Canada could help offset the impact of tariffs. Greater affordability would not only support more home sales but also generate significant economic spin-off benefits.” Echoing this sentiment, TRREB Chief Information Officer Jason Mercer emphasized the affordability barrier still facing many buyers. “A household earning the average income in the GTA is still finding it challenging to afford the monthly mortgage payment associated with the purchase of an average priced home,” he said. “Further relief in borrowing costs would see an increased number of buyers move off the sidelines to take advantage of today’s well-supplied market.”
