Mother’s Day 2020 is unlike past Mother’s Days. No school crafts and handmade gifts will find their way into our homes for Mom this year. We have the great fortune to have our Certified Professional Stager, Tara Llewellyn lead us through a variety of perfect DIY gift ideas.

Prices Climb While Inventory Surges to Start the Year The Milton real estate market kicked off 2026 with renewed activity, rising prices, and a significant increase in inventory . While broader GTA forecasts suggest stability amid ongoing affordability pressures, Milton’s January numbers tell a story of resilience and opportunity. Let’s break down what happened in Milton real estate in January 2026 and what it means for buyers and sellers moving forward. Average Home Prices Jump 7.5% Month-Over-Month The average sale price in Milton reached $1,046,516 in January 2026 — a 7.51% increase compared to December 2025. The median sale price also rose to $996,500 , up 6.95% month-over-month, signalling strengthening values across multiple property types. Year-over-year, Milton prices remained steady, with the average price up 0.76% compared to January 2025, showing continued long-term stability despite higher borrowing costs. What this means:  Buyers are still active and willing to compete for well-priced, move-in-ready homes — particularly detached and freehold properties.

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.”

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.”
