Links to Shop Local in Milton for Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day 2020 is unlike past Mother’s Days. No school crafts and handmade gifts will find their way into our homes for Mom this year. We have the great fortune to have our Certified Professional Stager, Tara Llewellyn lead us through a variety of perfect DIY gift ideas.

We are proud to support our local small businesses and are striving to encourage our community to shop local. Each of Tara’s gift suggestions would be absolutely perfect accompanied with a Gift Certificate from a local business for Mom to use when things return to normal.

We have put together a list of local businesses that are open for Gift Certificates to compliment Tara’s gift ideas.

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. Home sales dipped compared to the same time last year, while new listings remained strong—creating favourable conditions for those looking to negotiate the best deal.
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.
