Milton Real Estate Market Update – January 2025

As we step into the new year, the Milton real estate market has been buzzing with activity. With interest rates stabilizing and more buyers re-entering the market, January 2025 saw some significant shifts compared to the previous months. Let's dive into the numbers and what they mean for buyers and sellers in Milton.


Sales on the Rise Despite Market Adjustments

January 2025 saw a total of 116 home sales, reflecting a 41.46% increase compared to December 2024. While sales activity is up month-over-month, this marks only a 4.5% increase from January 2024. The market is showing resilience, with more buyers taking advantage of available inventory.


Inventory Surge: A Buyer’s Market Emerges

A major shift in January was the influx of new listings. The total new inventory reached 322, marking a 242.55% increase from December 2024 and a 78.89% increase from January 2024. With a sales-to-new-listings ratio of 36%, Milton is currently experiencing a buyer’s market, offering ample opportunities for those looking to make a move.

Price Trends: Slight Decline but Long-Term Stability

The average sale price in Milton for January 2025 was $1,038,619, reflecting a slight 2.83% decline from December 2024 but a 0.48% increase compared to January 2024. The median sale price stood at $964,250, also showing a small dip from last month. While prices have slightly adjusted, they remain stable year-over-year, demonstrating the long-term strength of the market.


Breakdown by Property Type

Each housing segment saw varying levels of activity:

  • Detached homes: 45 sales (+10% from December 2024)
  • Semi-detached: 15 sales (+150%)
  • Townhouses (Att/Row): 33 sales (+65%)
  • Condo Townhouses: 3 sales (-40%)
  • Condo Apartments: 20 sales (+100%)

Notably, semi-detached homes saw the largest sales increase, likely due to their balance of affordability and space.


Looking Ahead: What to Expect in the Coming Months

"A growing number of homebuyers will take advantage of lower borrowing costs as we move toward the 2025 spring market, resulting in increased transactions and a moderate uptick in average selling prices," says TRREB Chief Market Analyst Jason Mercer. However, he also warns that economic uncertainties, such as trade disruptions, could temporarily offset these gains.

TRREB forecasts 76,000 total home sales in 2025, a 12.4% increase over 2024. The average home price is expected to reach $1,147,000, representing a 2.6% increase year-over-year.


Housing Supply & Affordability Remain Key Issues

TRREB President Elechia Barry-Sproule emphasizes the importance of diversifying housing options: "Encouraging the development of missing-middle housing—such as townhomes, duplexes, and low-rise multi-unit buildings—is critical to delivering a range of attainable options for individuals and families."

Meanwhile, TRREB CEO John DiMichele highlights the need for government collaboration: "The current system of high development charges, taxes, and administrative hurdles only exacerbates the issues. This stalls progress on building the housing supply we need to support our growing communities."


Final Thoughts: Now Is the Time to Act

With increased inventory and stabilizing prices, Milton’s market presents strong opportunities for buyers looking to enter the market before spring competition heats up. Sellers should take advantage of market momentum by positioning their homes competitively.

Milton Real Estate Market Watch – March 2025 Affordability Improves While Inventory Grows: What Buyers Need to Know The Milton real estate market saw a shift in March 2025, bringing more affordability and increased inventory to the table. As borrowing costs eased and home prices edged lower compared to last year, homeownership became more attainable for many households considering a move. Prices Ease Year-Over-Year In March 2025, the average selling price in Milton was $989,662 , reflecting a 6.73% decrease compared to March 2024. The median sale price followed suit, dipping to $955,352 , down from $1,005,000 last year. While prices saw a modest month-over-month gain of 1.41% , the year-over-year dip is welcome news for buyers who were previously priced out. This trend offers a strategic opportunity for those looking to enter the market or move up, especially with interest rate cuts anticipated this spring . As TRREB President Elechia Barry-Sproule noted, “Homeownership has become more affordable over the past 12 months, and we expect further rate cuts this spring. Buyers will also benefit from increased choice, giving them greater negotiating power.” Sales-to-New-Listings Ratio Signals a Buyer’s Market With a sales-to-new-listings ratio of just 0.28 , the Milton market is firmly in buyer’s territory . This figure is down from 0.33 in February and far below the 0.60 threshold that typically indicates a seller's market. Buyers are clearly being cautious — and for good reason. According to TRREB’s Chief Information Officer Jason Mercer ,  “Given the current trade uncertainty and the upcoming federal election, many households are likely taking a wait-and-see approach... Home buyers need to feel their employment situation is solid before committing to monthly mortgage payments over the long term.”

Buyers Hold the Power in Milton’s Resale Market - February 2025 saw continued advantages for home buyers in Milton, with an ample selection of listings keeping competition low.

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.
