Milton Real Estate Market: December 2025

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.” 

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.
