The best realtor in Millcroft for 2027 prices golf course and other homes from real Burlington sales, understands the approved redevelopment of parts of the course, and puts every fee in writing. Burlington’s detached median was $1,249,750 from January to October 2026, flat from 2025, while townhouses fell. Interview at least three agents.
This guide is for Millcroft homeowners thinking about selling in 2027, including downsizers, and for buyers looking at this golf-course community in central Burlington. You will get real Burlington price data, the facts on the golf course redevelopment, how to price a home on or near the course, and how to pick the right agent.
What makes Millcroft different from other Burlington neighbourhoods?
Millcroft was planned around a golf course. The Globe and Mail described it as a community of more than 2,400 single-family homes and townhouses on about 650 acres south of Dundas Street, between Appleby Line and Walkers Line, built by Monarch from 1986 around the Millcroft Golf Club. A Neighbourhood Guide profile says it was built out over about twenty years, and notes the replica mill beside the pond at the entrance.
The housing mix is wider than many buyers expect. There are large detached homes, many on 50- and 60-foot lots, alongside townhouse enclaves, including bungalow townhomes that appeal to people who want one-floor living. Millcroft Park, off Millcroft Park Drive, has ball diamonds, tennis courts and a splash pad, and the Millcroft Shopping Centre sits on Appleby Line.
TRREB does not report Millcroft as a separate community in its Burlington reports, so neighbourhood-level statistics are hard to find. That makes a hands-on agent with good comparable sales more important here than in a community TRREB tracks on its own.
What is happening with the Millcroft golf course redevelopment?
This is the biggest local issue for buyers and sellers. In a 13 June 2024 news release, the City of Burlington said the Ontario Land Tribunal had approved the redevelopment of parts of the Millcroft Golf Course by Millcroft Greens Corporation, on lands at 2155 Country Club Drive and 4274 Dundas Street. The approved plan includes 90 single-family homes and 130 apartment units, subject to conditions. City council had opposed the project at the tribunal.
CBC News later reported that 425 trees were cut down on the course to make way for the homes, that the builder is Hallett Homes, and that the developer plans to plant more than 2,600 new trees. The same report said council had asked the province to override the decision with a Ministerial Zoning Order.
The golf course remains, but in a reworked form. For homes that back onto the affected areas, views and privacy may change. For the wider community, new homes add supply and some construction disruption for a time.
If a Millcroft home backs onto or faces the golf course, find out exactly which parts of the course are being developed before you buy or list. Ask the City of Burlington’s planning department for the approved plan, and have your lawyer review it. Sellers should answer buyer questions about the project honestly and accurately; guessing or downplaying it can lead to disputes later.
What are Burlington home prices heading into 2027?
These are Burlington-wide figures, not Millcroft prices. They show the direction of the market over two years.
| Burlington home type | Median, Jan–Oct 2024 | Median, Jan–Oct 2025 | Median, Jan–Oct 2026 | Two-year change | Avg. days on market, 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | $1,325,000 | $1,250,000 | $1,249,750 | −5.7% | 29 |
| Semi-detached | $933,500 | $915,000 | $885,000 | −5.2% | 25 |
| Freehold townhouse | $949,999 | $921,750 | $860,000 | −9.5% | 31 |
| Condo townhouse | $775,000 | $744,000 | $691,000 | −10.8% | 39 |
| Condo apartment | $596,000 | $557,500 | $529,950 | −11.1% | 52 |

Burlington’s detached median held flat in 2026 after falling in 2025, which is better than most GTA cities. Townhouses and condos kept sliding. Condo townhouse sales jumped 25.7% in 2026 even as their median fell 7.1%, a sign that buyers were stepping into lower price points.
Is Burlington a seller’s market going into 2027?
Burlington is tighter than its Halton neighbours, but buyers still negotiate. TRREB’s October 2026 Market Watch shows the detail.
| Measure, October 2026 | Burlington | Oakville | Halton Region |
|---|---|---|---|
| Months of inventory (all types, trend) | 3.6 | 4.9 | 4.2 |
| Average sale-to-list ratio (all types) | 97% | 95% | 96% |
| Detached sales | 101 | 106 | 312 |
| Detached median price | $1,200,000 | $1,580,500 | $1,289,500 |
| Detached benchmark change vs Oct 2025 | +1.30% | +0.56% | −0.95% |
Source: TRREB Market Watch, October 2026 (all home types and detached tables; MLS Home Price Index single-family detached benchmark).
Burlington was one of the few GTA markets where the detached benchmark rose year over year. That helps Millcroft detached sellers. It is still not a rush: detached homes averaged 29 days on market in 2026, against 22 days in the same months of 2024.

How should a realtor price a Millcroft home on the golf course?
Golf course lots are hard to price because there are fewer true comparables. A good agent will:
- Separate the lot from the house. Compare your home to sales of similar size and condition, then show, with sales, what backing onto the course has added or not.
- Be specific about the redevelopment. A home that looks onto a part of the course that will stay green is not the same as one next to a new lot. The pricing should reflect which one you have.
- Address the downsides openly. Buyers ask about stray balls, golfer traffic and privacy. Clear answers build trust.
- Market to the right buyers. Executive detached homes draw move-up families from across the GTA; bungalow townhomes draw downsizers. One plan does not fit both.
For a first value range before you meet agents, see my guide to how much a house is worth in Burlington.
What should Millcroft downsizers and townhouse sellers know?
Many long-time Millcroft owners are now trading a large detached home for something smaller. Burlington’s numbers point to a useful gap: the detached median of $1,249,750 held flat in 2026, while the condo townhouse median of $691,000 fell 10.8% over two years. Selling high and buying in a softer segment can work in your favour, if both sides are timed well.
If you own a townhouse in a condominium enclave, your buyer will want the status certificate. The Condominium Authority of Ontario says it includes the budget, the state of the reserve fund and any special assessments, and that the corporation must provide it within 10 days for a fee of up to $100. Order it early so it does not slow a deal. If you are weighing where to go next, my guide to retiring in Burlington compares options in the city.
What should Millcroft buyers check before making an offer?
- The redevelopment map: confirm whether the home is next to an area of the course where new homes or the apartment building are approved.
- Age and condition: homes here were built over about twenty years from 1986, so the roof, windows, furnace and air conditioner may be original or recently replaced. Ask for dates and receipts, and keep an inspection condition.
- Down payment: at Burlington’s detached median of $1,249,750, the minimum down payment is $99,975, because the price is under the $1.5 million insured-mortgage limit.
- Rates: the Bank of Canada raised its policy rate to 2.50% on 28 October 2026 and prime is 4.70%, so refresh your pre-approval before you shop.
What questions should you ask a Millcroft real estate agent?
RECO recommends interviewing at least three agents, asking about their experience in your neighbourhood and with your type of home, how they will market it, and calling their past clients. Ask:
- “Which recent sales would you compare my home to, and how do you adjust for the golf course?”
- “What do you know about the approved redevelopment, and how will you handle buyer questions about it?”
- “How will you reach downsizers, or move-up families, depending on my home?”
- “What is your full fee, and what share goes to the buyer’s brokerage?”
- “What term and holdover period are you proposing?”
Check every agent on RECO’s public register. My guide to the best realtor in Burlington covers city-wide criteria, and my Alton Village guide covers Burlington’s newer north end.
How do commission and listing agreements work in Burlington?
Commission is negotiable. RECO says you and the brokerage decide the amount, and it is not set by RECO, the government or real estate boards. It can be a fixed fee, a percentage or both, but not an amount based on the gap between list and sale price. Your agreement must be in writing, with the expiry date prominent on the first page and the services clearly listed. You do not have to accept multiple representation. There is no set length for a holdover period, so agree on it first; my guide to the holdover clause explains why it matters. Burlington buyers pay Ontario’s land transfer tax, not Toronto’s.
What are the red flags when hiring a Burlington realtor?
- No clear view on how the golf course and the redevelopment affect your price.
- A list price far above other agents’, with no sold comparables behind it.
- Marketing that skips over the redevelopment rather than explaining it.
- Pressure to sign a long agreement and holdover at the first meeting.
- No record on RECO’s public register.
In my view, Millcroft detached sellers enter 2027 with one of the steadier markets in the GTA behind them, since Burlington’s detached prices held flat while most cities fell. The redevelopment is a real factor for homes near the affected parts of the course, and I would deal with it head-on in pricing and marketing rather than hope buyers do not ask. This is my opinion, not a forecast; rates could rise again after the Bank of Canada’s 9 December 2026 decision.
What to do next
- Get a value range from the estimator above, then ask agents for sold comparables, including golf course lots.
- Find out where your home sits relative to the approved redevelopment.
- Interview at least three agents and check each one on RECO’s public register.
- Townhouse owners: order your status certificate early.
- Read the term, holdover and services sections before you sign.

Frequently asked questions
Who is the best realtor in Millcroft, Burlington?
The best realtor in Millcroft for 2027 knows how to price golf course and non-golf course homes from real sales, understands the approved redevelopment of parts of the course, and puts every fee in writing. RECO recommends interviewing at least three agents, calling their past clients and checking each agent on its public register before you sign.
What is the average house price in Millcroft, Burlington?
Neighbourhood prices are not published here, so use Burlington-wide figures. The Burlington detached median was $1,249,750 from January to October 2026, flat from 2025, per TRREB MLS data via REALM. Freehold townhouses had a median of $860,000 and condo townhouses $691,000. Millcroft homes can sell well above or below these city-wide medians.
Is the Millcroft golf course being developed?
Yes, in part. In June 2024 the City of Burlington said the Ontario Land Tribunal approved redevelopment of parts of the Millcroft Golf Course, with 90 single-family homes and 130 apartment units, subject to conditions. The City had opposed it. The golf course stays, in a reworked form, so check which areas are affected.
When was Millcroft in Burlington built?
Millcroft was built starting in 1986. The Globe and Mail described it as a Monarch community of more than 2,400 single-family homes and townhouses on about 650 acres, built around the Millcroft Golf Club. A Neighbourhood Guide profile says construction continued for about twenty years, so homes range widely in age.
Where is Millcroft in Burlington?
Millcroft is in central Burlington. The Globe and Mail placed the community south of Dundas Street, between Appleby Line and Walkers Line. The Millcroft Shopping Centre is on Appleby Line, and Millcroft Park is off Millcroft Park Drive. TRREB does not track Millcroft as a separate community in its Burlington reports.
How long does it take to sell a house in Burlington in 2026?
Burlington detached homes averaged 29 days on market from January to October 2026, up from 22 days in 2024, per TRREB MLS data via REALM. Condo townhouses averaged 39 days and condo apartments 52 days. Millcroft sellers should plan for several weeks of marketing and price carefully from day one.
Is Burlington a seller’s market in late 2026?
Burlington was tighter than nearby cities in late 2026. TRREB’s October 2026 Market Watch showed about 3.6 months of inventory, compared with 4.9 in Oakville, and the detached benchmark price rose 1.30% from a year earlier. Homes sold for about 97% of list price on average, so buyers still had room to negotiate.
Is realtor commission negotiable in Burlington?
Yes. In Burlington, as everywhere in Ontario, commission is agreed between you and the brokerage. RECO says it is not set by RECO, the government or real estate boards. It can be a fixed fee, a percentage or a mix, but it cannot be based on the difference between the list price and the sale price.
Do Burlington buyers pay Toronto land transfer tax?
No. Burlington buyers pay only Ontario’s land transfer tax. Toronto’s municipal land transfer tax applies only to homes inside the City of Toronto. First-time buyers in Ontario may qualify for a provincial refund of up to $4,000, so ask your real estate lawyer to confirm eligibility before closing.
