Damir Strk - Realtor

Damir Strk - Realtor Proud to help families find the right place to call home. Honest advice, steady support, and relationships that last long after the move.

My name is Damir Strk and my selling experience spans well before Y2K’s threat of putting everyone in the dark. I started with direct door-to-door sales and evolved into selling new construction homes by 1999. By the time the new millennium came around, the high pace and demand of real estate locked me into this industry as a Broker at Remax Realty Specialists Inc. Thanks to my success in the busi

ness, in 2012, I expanded my offerings to my clients. Today, I am also a Mortgage Agent at CRJP Mortgages Inc. I have lived in Mississauga, Brampton, Etobicoke, Toronto, and Calgary. I know all the ins and out’s of the Canadian real estate market. I value openness and honesty, which is why I do not sugarcoat anything. Clients can make informed decisions based on the truth of the matter. That being said, I am the most loyal and hardworking Broker you’ll ever meet. I am also a member of the CREA, TREB, and OMREB. I have had the honour of entering the 100% Club as well as the Platinum Club and am a recipient of the Hall Of Fame Award. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family. My kids and I love playing hockey and swimming together and participating in water activities such as fishing and scuba diving. When it comes to investing in real estate, you need someone who you can trust. I am always available, patient and constantly keeping the clients’ best interests in mind.

Status decides everything.

A Canadian citizen can buy a house in Ontario with no restriction and no speculation tax, wherever they happen to live. A foreign national with no Canadian status cannot buy in Oakville, Mississauga, Milton or Burlington at all right now. And a work permit holder often can buy, yet still owes Ontario's 25% Non-Resident Speculation Tax at closing.

Most of the confusion I hear comes from mixing up two separate rules from two different levels of government. The federal ban is one thing. Ontario's tax is another. They have different exemptions and they expire on different schedules.

Wrote the whole thing up: who can buy today, what the 25% actually costs, how the rebate works and the two deadlines that void it, and what changes on January 1, 2027.

Every move where you already own a home hits the same wall: do we sell this one first, or find the next one first?

It sounds like a scheduling question. It is really about which risk you would rather carry, and the order you choose changes your budget, your leverage, and how the whole thing feels.

The new guide walks both paths without pretending either is the safe one: what selling first actually buys you, what buying first costs on the other end, why bridge financing is not the escape hatch people assume, and the five questions that settle it for your household. Written for moves within Oakville, Mississauga, Milton, and Burlington.

Some Milton neighbourhoods make you do a double take on the trees before anything else. Dorset Park is one of them.

Tucked into Milton's north end right beside Old Milton's historic downtown, this is an established pocket of detached and semi homes, bungalows, and two-storeys on spacious, mature-treed lots, with townhomes and condos mixed in for lower-maintenance living. Quiet crescents and cul-de-sacs keep the streets calm enough for bikes and road hockey, and parks like Fay Court thread green space and playgrounds through the neighbourhood.

Everyday life is a short walk away. Milton Mall, grocery, the Leisure Centre, and the Memorial Arena are all close, Main Street's shops and restaurants are right next door in Old Milton, and Highway 401 and the Milton GO station keep the commute simple.

A confession.

I'm on a diet. Weeks in, not one cheat. And somehow I've become a full-blown cinnamon bun expert without eating a single one. My family has started staging interventions.

So I'm putting the decision in your hands. Whenever I decide to cave for a cheat day, I want one perfect cinnamon bun, and I want it from around here.

Best one in Oakville, Mississauga, Milton, or Burlington. Name it below. Bonus points if you tag the bakery so they know they made the shortlist.

Purely for research.

Some Mississauga neighbourhoods make you forget how close the city really is. Lakeview is one of them.

This is the east waterfront, a long-established pocket of bungalows, side-splits, and two-storey homes on tree-lined streets, with the shoreline, the Waterfront Trail, and the drive into Toronto all a few minutes from the door. The QEW is close, GO Transit runs the Lakeshore West line, and TTC connections sit right at the city border.

It is also changing. The planned Lakeview Village redevelopment is set to bring new homes, parks, and shoreline to the former industrial waterfront over time, which makes Lakeview one of the more interesting long-view corners of the city.

The families who wanted to be in before the first bell are already in.

The before-school moves are done. Boxes unpacked, new streets learned, a new chapter underway. And with the last long weekend of summer almost here, the market usually takes its late-August breath and quiets down for a couple of weeks.

That quiet is the opening. If selling is on your mind, this is the stretch to plan for the fall market instead of reacting to it. Buyers come back out after Labour Day, and a good share of them are working toward one thing: being settled into a new place before the holidays and the end of the year. Homes that hit the market prepared and priced right in September and October meet that demand head-on.

So use the slow week. Get the pricing read, the prep list, and the timing sorted now, and you list into the fall with a plan rather than a scramble.

Prices are up from a year ago. So why are more homes sitting?

The July numbers across the GTA tell a two-sided story. The average sale price rose to $1,051,600, up about 5% from last July. But homes are taking longer to sell: 40 days on average, up from 30 a year ago.

More listings mean buyers have choice, and choice means they skip anything that feels overpriced. The homes moving quickly are not the cheapest ones. They are the ones priced right for today and shown at their best.

If you are thinking about selling this fall, that is the whole game. Price to the market you are in, not the one from two years ago, and present the home properly. Get those right and you sell in weeks. Get them wrong and you become the comparable every other seller negotiates against.

Wondering where your home fits in today's market? Send me a message and I'll give you a straight read.

The best neighbourhood is sometimes just the one where daily life works. That is College Park.

Set in the middle of Oakville between Sixteen Mile Creek, Upper Middle Road, Trafalgar Road, and the QEW, this is the practical heart of town. Mature trees and quiet side streets, Sheridan College and Oakville Place around the corner, and the creek trails along the western edge for a walk or a dog loop. Errands are fast and the commute is easy, with the QEW and the 403 minutes away and Oakville GO a short drive south.

The homes are the real story. Bungalows and split levels from the original build, two storey detached, townhomes, and condos, with a project house and a fully renovated one often sitting on the same street. Families, first-time buyers, downsizers, and renovators all find something that fits, and people tend to move up within the neighbourhood rather than leave it.

The house is only half of what you buy. The other half is the Saturday-morning kind of stuff.

Right now the farmers markets are in full swing across Halton and Peel. Oakville has the Bronte Farmers' Market at Bronte Market Square, Sundays 10 to 2 through the end of August. Mississauga runs Celebration Square on Wednesdays and the Streetsville Village Square on Saturday mornings. Milton is Main Street downtown, Saturday mornings. Burlington goes Thursdays at Burlington Centre.

Fresh produce, a slow coffee, and a real feel for the streets you might one day call home. Know someone weighing a move into this part of the GTA?
