The spring real estate market in the Oakville area has begun slowly as the number of sales and dollar volume of sales were both down. The median sale prices in Oakville and Milton increased over April 2012.


According to figures released today by The Oakville, Milton and District Real Estate Board (OMDREB), the number of sales experienced a decline of 11.9 percent in April 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. Monthly sales totaled 1,074, compared to 1,219 in April 2012. The number of year-to-date sales also decreased by 6.4 percent.


“The spring market has started off moderately,” said Aziz Kanjee, 2013 President of OMDREB. “While the number of sales continued to be down compared to last year, the market remains competitive in Milton and Oakville as sale prices remain high.”
