Looking Ahead: What to Expect in the Coming Months
"A growing number of homebuyers will take advantage of lower borrowing costs as we move toward the 2025 spring market, resulting in increased transactions and a moderate uptick in average selling prices," says TRREB Chief Market Analyst Jason Mercer. However, he also warns that economic uncertainties, such as trade disruptions, could temporarily offset these gains.
TRREB forecasts 76,000 total home sales in 2025, a 12.4% increase over 2024. The average home price is expected to reach $1,147,000, representing a 2.6% increase year-over-year.
Housing Supply & Affordability Remain Key Issues
TRREB President Elechia Barry-Sproule emphasizes the importance of diversifying housing options: "Encouraging the development of missing-middle housing—such as townhomes, duplexes, and low-rise multi-unit buildings—is critical to delivering a range of attainable options for individuals and families."
Meanwhile, TRREB CEO John DiMichele highlights the need for government collaboration: "The current system of high development charges, taxes, and administrative hurdles only exacerbates the issues. This stalls progress on building the housing supply we need to support our growing communities."
Final Thoughts: Now Is the Time to Act
With increased inventory and stabilizing prices, Milton’s market presents strong opportunities for buyers looking to enter the market before spring competition heats up. Sellers should take advantage of market momentum by positioning their homes competitively.
