Milton Real Estate Market: December 2025

Flowers Team Real Estate • January 8, 2026

Home Prices Hold Steady While Sales Cool to End the Year 

As 2025 wrapped up, Milton’s housing market mirrored broader trends across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), where economic uncertainty and interest rate pressures continued to shape buyer and seller behaviour. However, improved affordability and stabilized pricing in Milton may be setting the stage for a more active market in 2026. 


Affordability Improves as Prices Dip Annually 

The average sale price in Milton for December 2025 settled at $973,454, marking a modest 0.92% increase month-over-month from November’s $964,583. While prices held steady to close out the year, we saw an 8.93% decline compared to December 2024, when the average price stood at $1,068,920. 

This softening in prices aligns with what Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) President Daniel Steinfeld observed across the GTA: 


“The GTA housing market became more affordable in 2025 as selling prices and mortgage rates trended lower... Once households are convinced that the economy and labour market are on a solid footing, sales will increase as pent-up demand is satisfied.” 


FULL BREAKDOWN

Sales Slow Sharply in Milton 

Sales activity in Milton cooled significantly in December. There were 55 total residential transactions, a 54.17% drop from November, and 32.93% fewer sales year-over-year compared to the 82 homes sold in December 2024. 


Despite lower demand, new inventory rose 19.15% annually, with 112 new listings in December 2025 versus 94 in December 2024. This pushed the Sales-to-New Listings Ratio down to 49%, indicating a shift towards a balanced market, bordering on buyer-friendly territory. 


Inventory Mix Reflects Cooling Conditions 

A breakdown by property type shows that detached homes led the way with 36 sales, followed by 27 townhomes and 16 semi-detached homes. Notably, condo apartment sales dropped 40% month-over-month, with only 6 units sold in December. 

Inventory levels also declined sharply compared to November: 

  • Detached listings fell 52% 
  • Semi-detached dropped 68% 
  • Townhomes decreased 43% 
  • Condo townhouses and apartments were down 70% and 49%, respectively 

These declines are typical for the season but could also reflect a wait-and-see approach from sellers anticipating better conditions in early 2026. 


Year-End Summary & What’s Ahead 

Looking at the broader GTA, annual home sales dropped 11.2% in 2025, while average prices fell 4.7%. TRREB’s Chief Information Officer Jason Mercer emphasized the importance of economic confidence in future market activity: 


“GTA households must be confident in their employment situation before committing to long-term monthly mortgage payments, even in this more affordable market.” 


Meanwhile, TRREB CEO John DiMichele urged governments to provide financial relief: 


“Families and individuals need financial breathing room... Fair and responsible tax policies can put more money back into people’s pockets, restore consumer confidence, and rebuild trust in the economy.”

In Milton, buyers appear to be gaining negotiating power, with price corrections and a cooling sales pace offering opportunities heading into 2026.

A Year of Market Reset and Renewed Opportunity The Milton housing market in 2025 told a story of shifting tides, cautious optimism, and improving affordability. As interest rate pressures and economic uncertainty reshaped the real estate landscape across the GTA, Milton followed suit with a cooling in sales activity, a modest price correction, and signs of a more balanced market ahead. Here’s a full look back at how real estate in Milton unfolded through the year — and what it could mean for buyers and sellers as we move into 2026. Home Prices Ease But Remain Resilient Milton’s average home price across all property types in 2025 was $1,019,297, down 4.77% from the $1,070,342 recorded in 2024. This dip marks a reset from pandemic-era price surges, bringing more affordability back into the market — a trend echoed across the Greater Toronto Area. Detached homes saw the highest average of the year at $1,257,060, while semis averaged $970,490, and townhomes came in at $862,104. Condo apartments and condo townhouses remained the most accessible options, averaging $593,200 and $686,507, respectively. Sales Activity Slows in a High-Inventory Environment In total, 1,580 homes were sold in Milton in 2025, with activity peaking in July and tapering off significantly by December — which recorded just 55 sales. This marked a clear slowdown from 2024, when consumer confidence was still relatively strong in the earlier part of the year. By housing type: Detached sales totalled 718 Semi-detached sales: 168 Townhouses: 474 Condo apartments: 146 Condo townhouses: 61 The cooling in demand was not unexpected. As TRREB President Daniel Steinfeld put it: “The GTA housing market became more affordable in 2025... Once households are convinced that the economy and labour market are on a solid footing, sales will increase as pent-up demand is satisfied.” Inventory Rises, Shifting the Balance of Power Milton saw a significant boost in listing activity in 2025, with 6,246 new listings, up 45.8% from 4,285 in 2024. Detached homes led the surge, accounting for 2,141 new listings throughout the year. This influx gave buyers more selection and negotiating power. With the sales-to-new-listing ratio hovering near 0.5 , the market leaned toward balanced to buyer-friendly conditions , especially in the latter half of the year. TRREB’s Jason Mercer emphasized the broader implications: “GTA households must be confident in their employment situation before committing to long-term monthly mortgage payments, even in this more affordable market.”
