November 2024 Real Estate Update: Milton Area Insights

A june market update is displayed on a white background.

As 2024 draws to a close, Milton’s real estate market experienced a notable surge in home sales compared to the same time last year. Lower borrowing costs and improved market conditions allowed many buyers to seize new opportunities, fuelling increased activity across the region.


Home Sales on the Rise


Milton REALTORS® reported 150 home sales through TRREB’s MLS® System in November 2024—a significant 51.52per cent jump from the 99 sales recorded in November 2023. This remarkable growth highlights renewed buyer confidence driven by a more affordable lending environment.


Increased Listings, Tightened Market


While new listings rose to 281—a year-over-year increase of 28.32 per cent—the pace of listings still lagged behind surging buyer demand. This created tighter market conditions, leading to upward pressure on home prices compared to last year.

Expert Insights on the Market Outlook


"As we approach the end of 2024, I am pleased to report an improvement in housing market conditions. Many home buyers patiently waited on the sidelines for reduced inflation and lower borrowing costs," said TRREB President Jennifer Pearce. "With selling prices still below their historic peak and monthly mortgage payments trending lower, the stage is set for an accelerating market recovery in 2025."


Detached Homes Lead Price Growth


TRREB Chief Market Analyst Jason Mercer emphasized the tightening conditions in the single-family home segment:
“Market conditions have tightened, particularly for single-family homes. The detached market segment experienced average annual price growth above the rate of inflation, particularly in the City of Toronto.”

Meanwhile, condominium apartment prices remained lower than last year, providing buyers with a range of options and greater negotiating power. As borrowing costs continue to decrease, more renters are expected to transition into homeownership.


What’s Next for the Rental Market?


With population growth driving housing demand, the rental market is expected to stay relatively well-supplied as some renters move into homeownership. However, addressing the backlog of cases at the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) could further stabilize the rental market.

“Reforming the LTB to make it faster and fairer will go a long way in getting more individuals and families into homes they can afford,” said TRREB CEO John DiMichele.


Milton’s housing market is showing strong signs of recovery, setting the stage for an active 2025. Buyers, sellers, and investors should prepare for continued opportunities as market dynamics evolve in the months ahead.

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.
