A home you’ll love,
found gracefully.

As of the most recent TRREB monthly release, the GTA median home price is approximately $1.1M for all property types combined. Detached homes average $1.45M, semi-detached $1.08M, townhouses $1.02M, and condo apartments $740K. Prices vary significantly by city — Toronto and central York Region tend to run 30-50% above the GTA median, while commuter-belt cities like Brampton, Pickering, and Oshawa run closer to or below it. Live medians are computed from TRREB's AmpRE feed at gtahousesfinder.com/market-reports.

Total commission on residential resale in Ontario is most commonly 4-5% of the sale price, split between the listing brokerage and the buyer's brokerage. The 5% standard breaks down as 2.5% to each side; some listing agreements use 4% with a 1.5/2.5% split. HST is added to commission. Commissions are negotiable — there is no fixed rate set by TRREB, the Ontario Real Estate Association, or any regulator.

Toronto buyers pay BOTH provincial Ontario LTT and municipal Toronto MLTT. On a $1.5M purchase, total LTT is approximately $50,475 ($26,475 provincial + $24,000 municipal). First-time buyers receive up to $4,000 off provincial LTT and up to $4,475 off municipal LTT. Outside Toronto (e.g. Mississauga, Vaughan, Brampton) only provincial LTT applies.

VOW (Virtual Office Website) is TRREB's program that allows registered consumers to view sold-listing data — actual sale prices, sale dates, days on market, and price history. To comply with TRREB's VOW rules, sites must require visitors to register and accept consumer terms before showing sold data, and every access is logged for audit. gtahousesfinder.com follows the standard VOW workflow: free account + one-time terms acknowledgement to unlock the /sold section.

Historically, late February through early May is the strongest sale window in the GTA — buyer demand peaks heading into spring, days-on-market run lowest, and over-asking percentages are highest. September through mid-November is a secondary peak. December and January are typically the slowest months. That said, low-inventory cities like Caledon and Kleinburg see strong year-round demand for the right property; timing matters less than pricing strategy and presentation.

Listing price comes from a comparative market analysis (CMA): the agent pulls the most recent 6-12 months of sold listings within a 1-3 km radius matching the home's bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, and lot size, then adjusts for upgrades, location nuances, and current market velocity. Aman Toor provides a free in-person CMA covering all of these factors plus current days-on-market and over-ask trends in your specific neighbourhood — request one at gtahousesfinder.com/valuation.

Active means the listing is currently for sale on MLS — buyers can book showings and submit offers. Pending (also called Conditional or Sold Conditional) means an offer has been accepted but conditions are still being satisfied (financing, home inspection, etc.) — the deal isn't final and could fall through. Sold (Closed in TRREB's database) means the transaction has completed and ownership has transferred. gtahousesfinder.com shows active listings on /properties and sold listings (VOW-gated) on /sold.
