Milton’s 2021 real estate market moved through three distinct phases: a busy start to the year, a quieter stretch in early summer, and renewed price growth heading into December.
The average sale price rose from $1,000,351 in January to $1,218,883 in December, an increase of about 21.8%. Sales activity peaked earlier, with 427 homes sold in March, then eased as the year progressed. Looking at the full year helps put those monthly shifts in context.
The monthly figures below show the average sale price across property types and the number of homes sold, as recorded in the Flowers Team’s 2021 market reports.
| Month | Average sale price | Homes sold |
|---|---|---|
| January | $1,000,351 | 142 |
| February | $1,023,472 | 288 |
| March | $1,037,207 | 427 |
| April | $1,061,348 | 342 |
| May | $1,062,600 | 310 |
| June | $1,035,349 | 279 |
| July | $1,016,783 | 246 |
| August | $1,061,719 | 212 |
| September | $1,128,493 | 174 |
| October | $1,168,148 | 192 |
| November | $1,205,412 | 193 |
| December | $1,218,883 | 131 |
These are monthly averages, not estimates of what a particular home was worth. The mix of property types sold can move the overall average up or down.
Sales rose from 142 in January to a high of 427 in March. The early-year graphics also show price differences by property type. From January to March, average detached prices increased from $1,231,692 to $1,316,696. Average condo apartment prices rose from $549,421 to $580,602, while townhouse averages moved from $852,683 to $866,182.
That range is why one citywide average cannot tell you exactly how a specific property type or neighbourhood performed.
After March, monthly sales declined. The average sale price was nearly flat between April and May, then fell from $1,062,600 in May to $1,016,783 in July. The monthly graphics recorded homes taking 9 days to sell in April, 14 days in May and June, and 11 days in July.
August brought a price rebound to $1,061,719, even as sales continued to ease, with 212 homes sold. The figures show that price and sales activity did not move in lockstep.
The average sale price increased each month from August through December, ending at $1,218,883. Sales did not return to the March peak. There were 192 sales in October, 193 in November and 131 in December.
The property-type graphics show that late-year price changes varied by home type. In September, average prices were $1,419,260 for detached homes, $1,102,223 for semi-detached homes and $945,372 for townhouses. By December, those averages were $1,774,037, $1,146,225 and $1,005,038, respectively. December’s overall average increased by about 1% from November, even as only 131 homes sold.
This is a useful reminder that a change in the types of homes selling can influence the overall average. It does not mean every property type gained value at the same rate.
For buyers, the year shows why it helps to compare similar homes in the same neighbourhood instead of relying on a headline average. Prices, sales volume and selling timelines shifted over the year, and the results differed by property type.
For sellers, 2021 shows the importance of timing and accurate pricing. Conditions changed between the spring peak, the summer slowdown and the late-year price increases. A home’s likely value depended on its type, location, condition and the comparable sales available at the time.
The Flowers Team’s reports show sales-to-new-listings ratios of 0.73 in September, 0.88 in October, 1.00 in November and 1.11 in December. The reports classified ratios above 0.60 as a seller’s market, so the available late-year figures indicated seller-leaning conditions.
The average sale price rose from $1,000,351 in January to $1,218,883 in December, an increase of about 21.8%. Monthly averages can shift with the types of homes sold, so this change should not be treated as the increase in value for every Milton home.
March was the busiest month in the Flowers Team’s monthly figures, with 427 homes sold. Sales slowed after that, reaching 131 in December.
No. These figures describe a historical market. A current estimate should use recent comparable sales for your home type and neighbourhood, along with its condition and features.
