Milton Real Estate Watch for March 2022

March 2022 sure was a shocker for sellers. For the first time this year we saw the average and median price fall. There are many factors that contribute to this change.  Supply/Demand is the number one factor that is affecting the Milton restate market today. When comparing to last month, the number of sales increased only marginally, 3% versus the number of new listings increasing by 33%. This gap between new listings (Demand) and the number of sales (Supply) has caused a reduction in the average price of homes. 


Although the average sale price has only decreased by$85,000, we are seeing some houses soften in value anywhere from $100,000 to $300,000. With the external factors that buyers are facing this year, we do predict to be the trend again next month. Rising interest rates, world politics, and inflation are a few of the key factors that are on buyers  minds, causing some of them to sit back pause their home buying searches. 


The good news, Milton is still in a very healthy real estate market. The number of sales is up 40% from last fall and the average sale price is 15% higher.

Sales to new listing ratio

A real estate market never heads in just one direction. Several key factors can drastically influence the direction of the market including mortgage interest rates, employment levels/growth, investment growth, immigration and development. These factors can influence whether we are it is a  buyer’s market  or a  seller’s market .

A  buyer’s market  exists when there are significantly more homes for sale than there are buyers. The typical end results in a drop in median sale prices over time as homeowners adjust their expectations to the current market conditions.

A  seller’s market  typically exists when interest rates are low are there are plenty of qualified buyers and not as many homes for sale. Buyers must react quickly and often face multiple offer situations. Prices generally rise under these circumstances.

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.
