June 2024 brought notable trends in Milton's real estate market, detailed in the latest report by the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB). Despite a rate cut from the Bank of Canada earlier in the month, buyer activity in Milton saw a modest decline compared to the same period last year. The market remained stable with a healthy inventory, influencing a slight decrease in the average home selling price from June 2023.
According to TRREB, Milton REALTORS® reported 162 home sales through TRREB’s MLS® System, indicating a 5.26 per cent decrease from June 2023. Concurrently, new listings rose by 15.45 per cent year-over-year, reaching a total of 1,411. These figures highlight ongoing activity and growing inventory in the local housing market.
TRREB Chief Market Analyst Jason Mercer emphasized the GTA's well-supplied housing market, providing prospective buyers with ample choices and negotiating power. Looking forward, Mercer anticipated that lower borrowing costs could stimulate increased sales while maintaining stable pricing dynamics.
Insights from industry experts further shed light on the market dynamics. According to Jennifer Pearce, President of the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB), recent polling from Ipsos suggests that prospective homebuyers are closely monitoring mortgage rate trends. As borrowing costs are expected to decrease over the next 18 months, a wave of new buyers, including first-time purchasers, is anticipated to enter the market, alleviating pressure in the tight rental market.
TRREB CEO John DiMichele underscored the significance of sustained efforts to meet housing demands amidst population growth. He echoed Ontario's ambitious goal of adding 1.5 million homes by 2031, stressing the need for collaborative efforts across all levels of government to streamline housing development processes and reduce financial barriers.
In summary, while June 2024 showed a temporary dip in home sales in Milton, the market remains resilient with favorable conditions for both buyers and sellers. With ongoing economic adjustments and strategic planning, the future of Milton's real estate market looks promising as it navigates through current challenges towards sustained growth.
