How Flowers Team Helps Landlords Find Reliable Students for Their Rental Properties

Flowers Team Real Estate • September 16, 2024

With Wilfrid Laurier University opening its Laurier Milton Academic Centre, student housing demand has surged. This new facility has increased the need for convenient rental options as students look for nearby accommodations.


Keep reading to learn why the student housing demand is rising, what students expect, and how the Flowers Team supports landlords looking to find student tenants.

The Growing Demand for Student Housing in Milton 

Milton’s educational opportunities attract more students each year. With new programs and institutions popping up, the demand for student housing has skyrocketed. As a result, landlords with homes near popular schools have become flooded with interest and rental applications.


This growing demand highlights the importance of seeking professional help to ensure you find the perfect student tenant for your property. Partnering with an experienced realty not only helps you find an ideal student tenant, but they also have the resources and insights to help you get the best rates in this competitive rental market.


A skilled agent can connect you with potential tenants and manage listings, simplifying the entire process. By leveraging their expertise, you can respond to the increased demand and make the most of Milton’s expanding academic landscape.


Understanding Student Housing Needs

Being close to campus is often the top priority for students looking for a place to rent. Living nearby makes commuting easier and helps students stay active in campus life. It’s especially important for those with busy schedules, giving them more time for studies and social activities.


Budget is another key factor. With limited finances, students need affordable rentals that still meet their needs. Balancing cost, comfort, and location can help create a positive living experience.


Here’s what students often look for in housing:

  • Affordable rent that fits their budget
  • Housing close to campus or with easy public transportation access
  • Safe and comfortable living spaces that support studying
  • Nearby grocery stores, cafes, and other essentials to make daily life easier


How the Flowers Team Takes Care of Landlords

With access to a comprehensive student database, we assist with showings, paperwork and making sure you find the exact tenant that landlords are looking for.


We often find the most success when targeting neighbourhoods close to educational institutions like Liaison College, Conestoga College, Wilfrid Laurier University, and the Canadian Technical and Management College.


Milton’s short commute to universities and colleges in nearby towns like Mississauga, Brampton, and Oakville makes them convenient locations for students, boosting the appeal of rental properties in Milton.


All screening is completed through the student database application process. This ensures landlords can identify students who have financial stability and a strong rental history, allowing them to find reliable renters who will take good care of their properties.

Selling a home during a divorce carries emotional weight, but it also requires clear strategy. When you are preparing a matrimonial home for the market, staging becomes one of the most effective ways to attract buyers, shorten days on market, and protect your equity. For homeowners in Milton, a neutral, well-presented home helps buyers see the property as theirs, not yours, which often leads to stronger offers and a smoother sale. Staging is not about perfection. It is about creating a clean, calm, and inviting space that appeals to the widest range of buyers.

Cooler Temperatures, Warmer Opportunities The fall market in Milton is revealing a trend we’ve been watching closely: more choices for buyers and steady pricing across property types . October 2025 showed a notable increase in sales activity month-over-month, even as average prices ticked down slightly. Sales Rebound as Buyers Re-Enter the Market Home sales in Milton climbed to 169 transactions in October—up a significant 28.03% from September. While the average sale price dipped slightly by 0.94% to $1,026,445 , the increase in activity suggests buyers are regaining confidence amid stabilizing mortgage rates and more realistic pricing. TRREB President Elechia Barry-Sproule recently commented on similar market trends GTA-wide, saying: “Buyers who are confident in their employment situation and ability to make their mortgage payments over the long term are benefitting from affordable housing market conditions relative to the past few years.” That certainly seems to apply in Milton, where more buyers are seizing the opportunity to get into the market—or move up. New Listings Down, But Inventory Still Healthy October saw 349 new listings in Milton, a 19.03% decline from the previous month. However, this decrease came after a surge of inventory in September. Despite the drop, the sales-to-new-listings ratio rose to 48% , up from 31%, signalling a more balanced market with stronger buyer demand. Detached homes remain the most active category, with 79 sales in October, followed by townhomes (43 sales) and semi-detached homes (20 sales) .
