December 2024 Real Estate Update: Milton Area Insights

A june market update is displayed on a white background.

As we wrap up 2024, it’s clear that the Milton housing market experienced a transformative year. While the landscape was marked by affordability challenges and economic shifts, there were also signs of resilience and optimism. Here's a closer look at the highlights of Milton’s real estate performance last year.


Steady Sales and Increased Inventory


2024 saw a modest rise in annual home sales, with 1,676 properties sold compared to 1,515 in 2023. New listings also increased significantly, reaching 3,735 – a sharp uptick from 3,012 the previous year. This influx of inventory gave buyers more options, helping to moderate price growth and maintain a balanced market.


Interest Rates: A Defining Factor


For much of 2024, high borrowing costs posed significant challenges for prospective buyers. Elevated interest rates limited affordability, keeping sales below historical averages. However, the tide began to turn in the latter half of the year when the Bank of Canada implemented two substantial back-to-back rate cuts.



“Further rate cuts in 2025, coupled with home prices remaining below their historic peaks, should create more favourable market conditions in the months ahead,” said TRREB President Elechia Barry-Sproule.

Pricing Trends: A Mixed Bag


The average home price in Milton in 2024 was $1,071,395, representing a slight dip from 2023’s average of $1,082,549. While ground-oriented housing, such as detached and semi-detached homes, showed price stability due to tighter market conditions, condo apartments experienced more significant price declines.


A Tale of Two Market Segments


Market performance in 2024 varied widely by housing type. Single-family home sales saw an increase, driven by those seeking more spacious living options. In contrast, condo sales dipped, reflecting a challenging environment for first-time buyers.


“Many potential first-time buyers sat on the sidelines, awaiting further interest rate relief in 2025. This impacted the more affordable condo segment disproportionately,” noted TRREB Chief Market Analyst Jason Mercer.


Spotlight on December 2024


The month of December capped the year with 82 home sales in Milton, slightly down from the same period in 2023. However, new listings continued to rise, maintaining a well-supplied market. Notably, the average selling price in December, $1,068,920, showed a modest increase, reflecting the ongoing demand for quality housing in the region.


Looking Ahead to 2025


The year ahead promises further shifts, as monetary policies, consumer sentiment, and government initiatives play pivotal roles in shaping the real estate market. "Government policies addressing housing supply, affordability, and congestion will be key areas to watch in 2025," said TRREB CEO John DiMichele.


Despite challenges, Milton’s real estate market demonstrated resilience in 2024, offering both opportunities and lessons for buyers, sellers, and policymakers. With a hopeful eye toward 2025, the stage is set for a dynamic year ahead.

Why Prepping Your Home for a Spring Sale is a Must

By Flowers Team Real Estate • March 3, 2025
Selling your home in the spring isn’t just about listing it—it’s about making sure it stands out in a competitive market. Buyers make quick decisions based on how your home looks, feels, and even smells. If you want to sell fast and for top dollar, here’s why taking the right steps matters: 1. First Impressions Can Make or Break a Sale 💡 Buyers form an opinion within seconds of arriving at your home. A well-manicured lawn, a freshly painted front door, and a welcoming entrance can mean the difference between a showing that turns into an offer—or one that ends before it even begins. 2. A Clean Home Feels More Valuable 🧼 Buyers associate cleanliness with care—if they see dust, grime, or clutter, they may assume the home hasn’t been well maintained. Deep cleaning and decluttering make spaces feel bigger, brighter, and more inviting. 3. Decluttering Helps Buyers See Themselves in Your Home 🏡 When buyers walk into a space filled with personal photos, trinkets, and clutter, they see your home—not theirs. Staging and decluttering create a neutral, inviting atmosphere that helps buyers visualize their future in your space. 4. Good Lighting Makes Rooms Look Bigger & Brighter ☀ Buyers love bright, airy homes—dark spaces can feel small and uninviting. By maximizing natural light, swapping heavy curtains for sheers, and using mirrors strategically, you can enhance your home’s appeal instantly. 5. Small Repairs Can Lead to Bigger Offers 🔨 Peeling paint, a leaky faucet, or a squeaky door might seem minor, but they signal neglect to buyers. Taking care of small fixes before listing shows that your home has been well cared for—and helps avoid buyers negotiating for unnecessary repairs.
