Low-rise new home sales in the GTA continue to reap the benefits of the HST rebate program in July
The Greater Toronto Area’s low-rise new home market has been on a remarkable run—July marks the fourth consecutive month where sales have surpassed the 10-year average, thanks in large part to the HST rebate program. With 1,018 new home sales recorded last month, single-family home sales soared 50% above the average, while condo sales climbed 40% year-over-year. As someone who works closely with mature adults and families looking to right-size in Oakville, Burlington, and Mississauga, I see firsthand how these trends and incentives can open new doors for those considering a change. It’s always rewarding to help clients navigate these opportunities and find the perfect fit for their next chapter.

As the temperatures drop, buyers start paying closer attention to something they may have overlooked all summer: the heating system. 🍂🏡

A home's heating system can influence comfort, maintenance costs, and long-term expenses, making it an important part of a buyer's decision.

Here's what many buyers look for during the fall:

🔥 Age of the system – A newer furnace or heat pump may mean fewer repairs and a longer remaining lifespan.
🛠️ Service history – Regular maintenance records can give buyers confidence that the system has been well cared for.
💨 Energy efficiency – An efficient heating system may help reduce monthly utility costs while keeping the home comfortable.
🌡️ Performance – Buyers often want to know the system heats the home evenly, runs quietly, and responds properly to the thermostat.

If you're planning to sell this fall, scheduling a professional HVAC service before listing your home can help identify minor issues, improve performance, and give buyers added peace of mind during showings.

📌 A well-maintained heating system may not be the feature buyers notice first, but it can be one of the details that helps them feel confident about making an offer.

Fall can be a surprisingly strong season to put your home on the market. 🍂🏡

While spring and summer get most of the attention, selling in the fall can come with some meaningful advantages:

🍁 Serious buyers are still searching – Many fall buyers have a specific reason for moving and may be more focused on finding the right home.

🏡 Less competition – With fewer homes competing for attention in some markets, a well-prepared property may have an opportunity to stand out.

💰 Motivated buyers and sellers – Buyers may be hoping to settle before the holidays, while sellers may have a specific timeline that creates opportunities for negotiation.

📸 Seasonal curb appeal – Fall offers a chance to showcase a home with warm lighting, seasonal landscaping, and a cozy atmosphere that can photograph beautifully.

📊 Local conditions matter – The strongest selling season varies by market, community, and property type, so current inventory, buyer demand, and recent sales should all factor into the strategy.

If selling is on the horizon, don't assume the market has to wait until spring. A well-timed fall listing can put your home in front of buyers who are ready to make a move.

📌 Thinking about selling this fall? Start with a look at your local market and what your home could realistically command today.

New report suggests HST rebate continues to boost single-family new home sales across GTA
It’s encouraging to see how the HST rebate continues to energize the GTA’s single-family home market. July saw new single-family home sales triple to 781 units, offering fresh opportunities for buyers and sellers alike. Prices in this segment have adjusted downward by 8.5%, now averaging $1.36M—a significant consideration for those exploring their next move. Condo sales ticked up a bit, with prices rising 2.5% to $1.05M, but overall activity there remains modest. Current inventory sits at 18,546 units. As someone who specializes in residential transitions for mature adults and seniors across Oakville, Burlington, and Mississauga, I’m always monitoring these shifts to help clients navigate their real estate journey with confidence and clarity.

Making an offer on a home is exciting, but the smartest buyers know preparation matters just as much as the offer itself. 🏡📋

Before submitting an offer, buyers should fully understand both the property and the numbers behind the decision. A few key things to review:

1️⃣ Recent comparable sales to understand true market value
2️⃣ Contract terms, contingencies, timelines, and important deadlines
3️⃣ Inspections or due diligence reports to uncover potential issues early
4️⃣ Title, zoning, easements, or property restrictions that could affect future use
5️⃣ Your budget ceiling before negotiations begin to avoid emotional overspending

The right real estate guidance helps buyers navigate negotiations confidently, understand potential risks, and make informed decisions every step of the way.

Thinking about buying soon? Reach out to build a smart offer strategy around your goals, budget, and current market conditions.

Is August a good time to buy a home in the GTA?
As we move through August, many clients are asking whether it’s the right moment to make a move in the Greater Toronto Area real estate market. This month, we’re seeing an interesting combination: increased sales activity paired with high inventory. That means there’s more choice out there—and a bit more room for negotiation, particularly if you’re considering a condo. With interest rates holding steady, it’s an ideal time to approach mortgage planning with confidence. For those of you contemplating a purchase—especially mature adults and empty nesters looking to smart-size—keep in mind your long-term needs, preferred neighbourhoods, and the property type that best suits your lifestyle.
