Flourishing Real Estate Market in Milton: A Promising Start to 2024

February 6, 2024

Milton Real Estate Market Statistics | January 2024

We are delighted to share some exciting news about the local real estate landscape. As we kick off 2024, our community is witnessing a positive surge in home sales, setting a promising tone for the spring market.


Growing Confidence in Homeownership


The year started with a bang as Milton home sales in January 2024 soared by nearly 73% compared to the same period in 2023. This remarkable increase reflects a growing confidence among homebuyers, fuelled in part by lower borrowing costs associated with fixed-rate mortgage products. We have always been committed to guiding families through their real estate journey, and these encouraging trends provide a golden opportunity for both buyers and sellers.


TRREB President Jennifer Pearce expressed optimism about the market's trajectory, emphasizing that lower interest rates, expected due to the Bank of Canada's projections, will make homeownership more accessible. For first-time buyers facing high average rents, this presents a unique chance to transition into homeownership with increased affordability.

Market Dynamics and Tighter Conditions


While new listings also saw a year-over-year increase of 27%, the growth in sales outpaced that of listings. This indicates tighter market conditions compared to the previous year, potentially leading to renewed price growth as we transition into the spring season. Flower Team Real Estate understands the importance of staying ahead of market trends, and we're here to help you navigate through these dynamic conditions.


On a month-over-month seasonally adjusted basis, both sales and new listings experienced an uptick. Notably, the increase in sales surpassed that of listings, signifying a further tightening of market conditions compared to December 2023.


Future Outlook and Upward Pressure on Prices


Looking ahead, TRREB Chief Market Analyst Jason Mercer foresees even more positive developments in the real estate landscape. Anticipating the Bank of Canada's policy rate cuts in the second half of 2024, Mercer predicts a surge in home sales, intensifying competition among buyers. As demand rises and the supply of listings remains constrained, the inevitable result will be upward pressure on selling prices over the next two years.


Our team is already seeing signs of increased home sale prices since the beginning of February. We anticipate an even more substantial jump in the average home sale prices once this month's stats are released.


Our team is dedicated to keeping our community informed and empowered throughout their real estate journey. The promising start to 2024 sets the stage for exciting opportunities, and we're here to guide you every step of the way. Whether you're a first-time buyer, a seller navigating market dynamics, or a seasoned homeowner, trust Flowers Team Real Estate to help you achieve your real estate goals in this flourishing market.

Milton's Real Estate Landscape October 2025

By Flowers Team Real Estate • November 5, 2025
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) .

Milton's Real Estate Landscape September 2025

By Flowers Team Real Estate • October 4, 2025
Interest Rate Cuts Spark Buyer Optimism September brought a renewed sense of confidence to Milton homebuyers as the Bank of Canada’s recent interest rate cut created more favourable borrowing conditions. This shift made monthly mortgage payments slightly more manageable, encouraging renewed activity—though Milton’s market is still clearly favouring buyers. “The Bank of Canada’s September interest rate cut was welcome news for homebuyers,” said TRREB President Elechia Barry-Sproule. “With lower borrowing costs, more households are now able to afford monthly mortgage payments on a home that meets their needs.” Sales Hold Steady, Inventory Climbs In September 2025, Milton recorded 132 home sales, holding steady with August. However, new inventory surged 16 percent month-over-month, reaching 431 listings. This increase in supply, paired with consistent sales, resulted in a Sales-to-New-Listings Ratio of 0.31 — down from 0.36 in August. This ratio firmly positions Milton in buyer’s market territory. Compared to September 2024, sales were up nearly 4 percent, while new listings jumped by 14.6 percent, giving homebuyers more options to explore. Prices Rebound Month-over-Month Milton's average sale price climbed to $1,036,162 in September — up a strong 7.5 percent from August 2025, and modestly up 1.4 percent year-over-year. Median prices tell a similar story, rising to $955,000, a 4.7 percent monthly increase. These gains suggest that while buyers are cautious, well-priced and desirable homes are still commanding strong offers. However, it’s important to note that price growth was segment-dependent, with detached homes and townhouses seeing more buyer traction than others.
