November 2024 Real Estate Update: Milton Area Insights

A june market update is displayed on a white background.

As 2024 draws to a close, Milton’s real estate market experienced a notable surge in home sales compared to the same time last year. Lower borrowing costs and improved market conditions allowed many buyers to seize new opportunities, fuelling increased activity across the region.


Home Sales on the Rise


Milton REALTORS® reported 150 home sales through TRREB’s MLS® System in November 2024—a significant 51.52per cent jump from the 99 sales recorded in November 2023. This remarkable growth highlights renewed buyer confidence driven by a more affordable lending environment.


Increased Listings, Tightened Market


While new listings rose to 281—a year-over-year increase of 28.32 per cent—the pace of listings still lagged behind surging buyer demand. This created tighter market conditions, leading to upward pressure on home prices compared to last year.

Expert Insights on the Market Outlook


"As we approach the end of 2024, I am pleased to report an improvement in housing market conditions. Many home buyers patiently waited on the sidelines for reduced inflation and lower borrowing costs," said TRREB President Jennifer Pearce. "With selling prices still below their historic peak and monthly mortgage payments trending lower, the stage is set for an accelerating market recovery in 2025."


Detached Homes Lead Price Growth


TRREB Chief Market Analyst Jason Mercer emphasized the tightening conditions in the single-family home segment:
“Market conditions have tightened, particularly for single-family homes. The detached market segment experienced average annual price growth above the rate of inflation, particularly in the City of Toronto.”

Meanwhile, condominium apartment prices remained lower than last year, providing buyers with a range of options and greater negotiating power. As borrowing costs continue to decrease, more renters are expected to transition into homeownership.


What’s Next for the Rental Market?


With population growth driving housing demand, the rental market is expected to stay relatively well-supplied as some renters move into homeownership. However, addressing the backlog of cases at the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) could further stabilize the rental market.

“Reforming the LTB to make it faster and fairer will go a long way in getting more individuals and families into homes they can afford,” said TRREB CEO John DiMichele.


Milton’s housing market is showing strong signs of recovery, setting the stage for an active 2025. Buyers, sellers, and investors should prepare for continued opportunities as market dynamics evolve in the months ahead.

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) .

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.
