September 2024 brought positive news for Milton's real estate market, with home sales rising significantly compared to last year. Buyers are taking advantage of the more favourable market conditions, largely thanks to interest rate cuts and lower home prices.
"As borrowing costs decline and mortgage lending guidelines evolve, we expect home sales to continue growing alongside population increases," said Jennifer Pearce, President of the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB). "Each rate cut makes homeownership more accessible, particularly for first-time buyers looking to invest in long-term stability."
In September 2024, Milton REALTORS® reported 127 home sales through TRREB’s MLS® System, marking a 27% increase from 100 sales in September 2023. New listings also saw a 5.3% boost, with 357 properties added to the MLS® System. While September's sales dipped slightly on a seasonally adjusted basis compared to August, the rising number of new listings helped balance the market. The average selling price in Milton for September stood at $1,021,471, a modest 3% decline from the previous year's $1,053,783.

TRREB’s Chief Market Analyst, Jason Mercer, highlighted the increase in buyer negotiating power due to the influx of new listings. "More inventory has created a better-supplied market, allowing buyers to negotiate more favourable terms, especially in the condo and townhouse segments, where prices have softened," he noted.
In addition to market changes, recent adjustments to mortgage lending guidelines have been a positive development for both new and existing homeowners. TRREB CEO John DiMichele emphasized that these updates, including the ability to renew mortgages without stress tests and longer amortization periods, are giving buyers and mortgage holders much-needed flexibility as the Greater Toronto Area’s housing market stabilizes.
