Milton's Real Estate Landscape September 2025

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.

FULL BREAKDOWN

What’s Hot: Property Type Breakdown

Here’s how sales broke down by property type in Milton for September:

  • Detached Homes: 59 sales (up 7% from August)
  • Townhomes (Att/Row): 36 sales (down 29%)
  • Condo Apartments: 17 sales (up 13%)
  • Semi-Detached: 12 sales (up 71%)
  • Condo Townhouses: 7 sales (up 75%)
  • Other: 1 sale

The sharp increases in semi-detached and condo townhouse sales may signal that buyers are looking to stretch their dollars further while still securing ground-level living.


More Inventory, More Decisions

September saw increases across every inventory category, led by:

  • Townhomes: up 38 percent
  • Condo Townhouses: up 47 percent
  • Condo Apartments: up 24 percent
  • Semi-Detached: up 6 percent
  • Detached Homes: up 3 percent

This broad-based supply growth is a positive signal for buyers, offering more choice and potential for negotiation — especially as homes stay on the market longer.


Buyer’s Market Conditions Remain

Despite the month-over-month rebound in pricing, Milton remains in a buyer’s market, with a Sales-to-New-Listings Ratio of just 31 percent.

Jason Mercer, TRREB’s Chief Market Analyst, commented:
 “While home sales have improved over the past year, they still remain below normal levels relative to the number of households in the GTA.”

He also noted that further interest rate reductions could help bring mortgage payments more in line with household income, likely boosting sales.


Industry Leaders Call for Unity Amid Development Slowdown

TRREB CEO John DiMichele issued a call to action to all real estate stakeholders:
 “It’s time for us to come together as a unified voice... and collectively work to break down the remaining barriers that impede progress in housing development.”

This message comes as new construction sales and housing starts continue to struggle, even as resale inventory rises.

2025 Milton Real Estate Year in Review

By Flowers Team Real Estate • January 21, 2026
A Year of Market Reset and Renewed Opportunity The Milton housing market in 2025 told a story of shifting tides, cautious optimism, and improving affordability. As interest rate pressures and economic uncertainty reshaped the real estate landscape across the GTA, Milton followed suit with a cooling in sales activity, a modest price correction, and signs of a more balanced market ahead. Here’s a full look back at how real estate in Milton unfolded through the year — and what it could mean for buyers and sellers as we move into 2026. Home Prices Ease But Remain Resilient Milton’s average home price across all property types in 2025 was $1,019,297, down 4.77% from the $1,070,342 recorded in 2024. This dip marks a reset from pandemic-era price surges, bringing more affordability back into the market — a trend echoed across the Greater Toronto Area. Detached homes saw the highest average of the year at $1,257,060, while semis averaged $970,490, and townhomes came in at $862,104. Condo apartments and condo townhouses remained the most accessible options, averaging $593,200 and $686,507, respectively. Sales Activity Slows in a High-Inventory Environment In total, 1,580 homes were sold in Milton in 2025, with activity peaking in July and tapering off significantly by December — which recorded just 55 sales. This marked a clear slowdown from 2024, when consumer confidence was still relatively strong in the earlier part of the year. By housing type: Detached sales totalled 718 Semi-detached sales: 168 Townhouses: 474 Condo apartments: 146 Condo townhouses: 61 The cooling in demand was not unexpected. As TRREB President Daniel Steinfeld put it: “The GTA housing market became more affordable in 2025... Once households are convinced that the economy and labour market are on a solid footing, sales will increase as pent-up demand is satisfied.” Inventory Rises, Shifting the Balance of Power Milton saw a significant boost in listing activity in 2025, with 6,246 new listings, up 45.8% from 4,285 in 2024. Detached homes led the surge, accounting for 2,141 new listings throughout the year. This influx gave buyers more selection and negotiating power. With the sales-to-new-listing ratio hovering near 0.5 , the market leaned toward balanced to buyer-friendly conditions , especially in the latter half of the year. TRREB’s Jason Mercer emphasized the broader implications: “GTA households must be confident in their employment situation before committing to long-term monthly mortgage payments, even in this more affordable market.”

Milton Real Estate Market: December 2025

By Flowers Team Real Estate • January 8, 2026
Home Prices Hold Steady While Sales Cool to End the Year As 2025 wrapped up, Milton’s housing market mirrored broader trends across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), where economic uncertainty and interest rate pressures continued to shape buyer and seller behaviour. However, improved affordability and stabilized pricing in Milton may be setting the stage for a more active market in 2026. Affordability Improves as Prices Dip Annually The average sale price in Milton for December 2025 settled at $973,454 , marking a modest 0.92% increase month-over-month from November’s $964,583. While prices held steady to close out the year, we saw an 8.93% decline compared to December 2024 , when the average price stood at $1,068,920. This softening in prices aligns with what Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) President Daniel Steinfeld observed across the GTA: “The GTA housing market became more affordable in 2025 as selling prices and mortgage rates trended lower... Once households are convinced that the economy and labour market are on a solid footing, sales will increase as pent-up demand is satisfied.”
