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.
With 1,515 reported home sales in Milton through TRREB's MLS® System, there was a noticeable 14.9 percent decrease compared to the preceding year. Despite brief surges during spring and summer, new listings also declined. This persistent trend in listings, remaining flat-to-down over the past decade, presents challenges amidst a growing population.

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.
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.
