Weekly Real Estate Market Snapshot: Oakville, Burlington & Milton – July 11, 2025

It’s been a steady, watchful week in the Halton real estate market. Here’s what’s been happening in Oakville, Burlington, and Milton:

Oakville
Oakville saw 179 new listings in the past 7 days. Meanwhile, 49 homes sold firm and another 49 sold conditionally. With nearly 500 active listings, buyers are gaining leverage. The market is moving, but not quickly—motivated sellers are having to price strategically and adjust based on feedback and competing listings. Well-priced homes still sell, but the margin for error is narrowing.

Burlington
In Burlington, 125 new listings hit the market and 60 sold firm, with 49 more conditionally sold. While inventory is rising, homes under $1M—particularly freehold townhomes and smaller detached properties—are seeing consistent activity. Buyers are active, but selective. Sellers who are holding too high on price are being left behind.

Milton
Milton continues to punch above its weight. With 110 new listings, 48 firm sales, and 40 conditional sales, turnover remains healthy. Active inventory is just over 300 listings, so the absorption rate here is stronger than in the other two markets. Properties between $600K and $900K are seeing the most action, especially for first-time buyers and investors.

What Does This Mean Going Forward?
The overall market across all three cities is shifting into more balanced conditions. Buyers are being cautious and taking their time. If you're thinking of selling, your home needs to be priced right, marketed well, and show its best from day one. If you’re buying, there’s more choice now, but that may not last if interest rates drop later this year.

Halton Market Update – June 2025

Oakville | Burlington | Milton
By Michael Englund – Real Estate & Mortgage Advisor

As we close the first half of 2025, market activity across Oakville, Burlington, and Milton continues to reflect a rebalancing after the aggressive rate tightening of the past couple years. June showed some important signals — both for homeowners wondering about property values, and buyers trying to decide if now is the time to move.

Let’s break it down city by city.

Oakville

Oakville remains the most expensive of the three markets, particularly in the detached segment, where the median price for a detached home was $1.79M. That’s up slightly from May, and well above last year’s median, despite slower sales volume. Inventory levels are still climbing, with 731 detached listings compared to just 124 sales. That’s over 5.8 months of inventory, putting Oakville firmly in balanced-to-buyer's market territory.

Condo apartments, by contrast, are showing real value right now with a median price of $562K, likely due to soft demand and oversupply. That segment could present an opportunity for first-time buyers or investors.

What it means: Sellers need to be strategic — pricing and presentation matter more than ever. Buyers, meanwhile, are regaining leverage and should be confident negotiating.

Burlington

Burlington's market is trending more steadily. Detached homes saw 125 sales at a median price of $1.25M, with 479 active listings. Compared to Oakville, that's a tighter ratio, suggesting more balanced market conditions.

Condo apartments and townhouses remain more affordable here than Oakville, with median condo prices around $540K–$765K. Activity is healthy but not overheated, giving buyers more room to explore without urgency.

What it means: Burlington continues to attract move-up buyers and downsizers looking for lifestyle value. The pace is stable, and pricing remains more resilient than in Oakville.

Milton

Milton is seeing the most consistent buyer activity relative to its size. Detached home sales came in at 87 units, with a median price of $1.22M — very close to last month. With 338 active detached listings, the supply-to-sales ratio is hovering around 3.9 months of inventory, which leans toward a balanced market.

Townhouses and semis remain very active here, with median prices under $900K, making them highly attractive to first-time buyers and young families.

What it means: Milton continues to shine as a value-driven alternative for buyers who are priced out of the more expensive Oakville and Burlington markets. New construction and newer infrastructure make it popular with young families and newcomers.

Overall Trends & Outlook

• Inventory is growing faster than sales in most categories, especially in the higher price points

• Median prices are holding steady, showing the market isn’t collapsing — but competition is increasing

• Buyers are cautious but engaged, especially when homes are well-priced and show well

• Sellers must be realistic and avoid outdated pricing expectations from the 2021–2022 boom

With interest rates expected to decline again later this year, we may see buyer demand pick up — especially if sellers adjust pricing in response to current conditions.
