Milton Real Estate Market Statistics | December  2023

December signifies a quieter period in the real estate domain, and the trends in December 2023 were no exception. As the year wound down, sales and listings in Milton experienced a significant decline compared to the previous year. Understanding these shifts is crucial, especially with the evolving landscape of borrowing costs and federal mortgage standards.

Impact of Market Dynamics on Pricing


The average selling price for all home types in 2023 settled at $1,082,549, marking a 7.8 percent decline from 2022. Active buyers in the market benefitted from increased options, enabling negotiations for lower selling prices. As borrowing costs are expected to decrease in 2024, anticipate a potential shift in market conditions, potentially prompting renewed price growth.


Future Outlook for Milton's Real Estate


TRREB President Jennifer Pearce highlights the expectation of lower borrowing costs in 2024, coupled with a resilient economy, foreseeing a rebound in home sales. However, the need for more homes, considering the record immigration into the GTA, remains a critical concern for both renters and potential buyers.

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) .
