Milton's Real Estate Landscape in August 2024

August 2024 Real Estate Update: Milton Area Insights

Average Selling Price Trends in Milton

The average selling price in Milton for August 2024 was $1,064,460, representing a decrease of 1.79% compared to August 2023. On a month-over-month basis, the seasonally adjusted average price edged lower compared to July 2024, reflecting a market in transition.

Jason Mercer, TRREB’s Chief Market Analyst, shared insights on what homebuyers can expect in the coming months. "As borrowing costs trend lower over the next year-and-a-half, home buyers will benefit from lower monthly mortgage payments and lower home prices," said Mercer. However, he emphasized that while demand will pick up, particularly in 2025, it will take time for the available inventory to be absorbed, keeping price growth moderate during the initial stages of recovery.

TRREB CEO John DiMichele stressed the importance of focusing on home construction to ensure long-term market stability. He highlighted the need for municipalities to reduce development charges to make housing more affordable. "If people can’t find affordable housing in the GTA or surrounding Greater Golden Horseshoe, they will move elsewhere, and not necessarily to other parts of Ontario or Canada," DiMichele warned, pointing to the critical role housing plays in the region’s economic development.

With fluctuating sales and prices, the Milton real estate market is evolving. Buyers may see opportunities as borrowing costs decline, while sellers should keep an eye on listing inventory and market trends. As the region adapts to economic pressures and demand shifts, maintaining a balanced approach to both buying and selling will be crucial for navigating the months ahead.
