THE $15,000 TABLE — a hypothetical every executor should sit with. 🪑

(This is invented to illustrate a point. Not a real client, not a real case.)

Someone dies. A will is found. The executor starts working through it — a hundred small things, while also being a person who just lost somebody.

In the dining room there's a table. A good one. Say $15,000.

The executor sells it. Nothing wrong with that on its face — the house has to be emptied, and turning an asset into cash for the estate looks like doing the job properly.

Months later, a newer will turns up. And it leaves that specific table to a specific person.

The table is gone.

Now, here's where most articles would tell you exactly what happens next. I'm not going to, for two reasons. First, I'm a broker, not a lawyer. Second — and this is more useful to you — the answer genuinely depends on the circumstances. Anyone giving you a confident one-liner is guessing.

What I can tell you is what Ontario actually has in place:

▪️ Beneficiaries can require an executor to show their work. Every asset, every disposition, every dollar. It's called passing of accounts, and "I'm sure it was fine" isn't the standard.
▪️ Probate doesn't lock the door on a later will. Ontario's rules specifically allow a court to revoke a certificate of appointment. A grant is not a wall.
▪️ And the protection most executors think they have isn't the one they need. Advertising for creditors protects you from creditors. Ontario's Trustee Act says in as many words that it doesn't apply to beneficiaries claiming as beneficiaries.

That gap is exactly where the table sits.

The practical lesson? Be slow with assets. Confirm the will you're working from is the operative one. The cost of being careful is a few weeks. The cost of not being careful isn't capped.

Toronto's east end moved at two speeds in September.

In Leslieville/Riverdale (E01) and the Beaches (E02), homes sold in 12 to 18 days on average, at 105% to 109% of list price. Further east, in Birchcliff/Cliffside (E06) and Cliffcrest (E08), homes took 37 to 41 days and sold at 97% to 99% of list, with 4.2 and 5.4 months of inventory. East York, the Upper Beaches and Topham Park (E03) sat in between: 100% of list in 27 days.

Sellers: price to recent sales of similar homes, not the district headline. In E01, detached homes averaged 114% of list while condo apartments averaged 97%.

Buyers: re-confirm your pre-approval before you write an offer. The major banks' posted 5-year rate rose to 6.19% on Oct. 7 (Bank of Canada). Advertised rates depend on borrower qualifications and can change without notice.

Every street is different. Send me a message for a property-specific analysis.

New on the blog: Part 3 of the Ontario Estate Series 📘

If you're an executor, here's the short version:

▪️ Not every estate needs probate — but if there's a house in the deceased's name, it usually decides the question.
▪️ Keep the file as though someone will read it. Valuation, list price, every offer, every invoice. Beneficiaries can ask for a full accounting.
▪️ Value the house as it was at the date of death, before anything is cleared or painted. That moment doesn't come back.

The full article covers which assets trigger probate, where executors get caught out, and why the house is the asset that decides everything 👇

Lingo Explained: chattels vs. fixtures

It's one of the most common "wait, that was supposed to stay?" moments in a sale.

A fixture is attached to the home. Think of the light fixture wired into the dining room ceiling. On Ontario's standard Agreement of Purchase and Sale (OREA Form 100), fixtures stay with the house unless they're listed under "Fixtures Excluded."

A chattel is movable. Think of a free-standing fridge or washer. Chattels come with the house only if they're listed under "Chattels Included."

Rented equipment, like a rented water heater, gets its own section. It isn't included in the purchase price, and the buyer agrees to take over the rental contract if it can be assumed.

RECO, Ontario's real estate regulator, suggests making your offer as detailed as possible, including what comes with the sale, such as appliances and light fixtures. The pre-closing visit is then your chance to check that nothing listed as included has been removed.

If it matters to you, write it in.

If you've been googling "probate sale," most of what you're reading doesn't apply here. 🇨🇦

In parts of the United States, a probate sale involves the court confirming the sale — there's an open overbidding process at a hearing, people bid against the accepted offer in the room, and a judge picks the winner.

Buyers read that, come to Toronto expecting a courthouse auction and a built-in discount, and then can't find any of it.

Ontario doesn't work like that.

An estate property here is listed on TRREB like any other property. Negotiated with the standard Agreement of Purchase and Sale. Closed by lawyers. The process isn't unusual at all.

What's different is the seller's situation — whether the estate trustee has the authority in hand yet, when the certificate is expected, and the condition of a house somebody lived in for forty years.

That's where the real opportunity is, for buyers who understand it. Not in a legal loophole. In the fact that fewer people are competing, and the house shows badly for reasons that leave in a truck.

But it's a completely different opportunity than the American articles describe — and writing an offer on American assumptions is how buyers get into trouble here.

You've just been named executor. Where do you even start?

Here's the reassuring part: very little of an executor's job has to happen in the first month. A few things do. Here's how I break the first 30 days down for families:

▪️ Week 1 — Find the original will. Look after the family. If the house is now empty, secure it and tell the home insurer.

▪️ Weeks 1–2 — Make the calls: Service Canada (CPP and OAS), the CRA, the banks, the insurer. Keep a log of who you spoke to.

▪️ Weeks 2–4 — Gather the house paperwork: title, mortgage, property tax bill, insurance policy. Then meet an Ontario estates lawyer.

What can wait? Selling the house. Clearing out the contents. Giving anything to beneficiaries.

And one thing to avoid: promises at the kitchen table. "Of course you can stay in the house" feels kind in week one and can become a dispute by month six.

If your home didn't sell this spring, should it come back at the same price this fall?

I went through the MLS® records for East Toronto (Riverdale and Leslieville to the Beach, East York, Birch Cliff and the Bluffs) to find out what actually happened.

Between January and June, 1,212 homes had a listing end without a sale. 758 came back on the market. 447 have sold since, and they sold for a median 93.9% of the spring price that hadn't worked.

The most telling group: 32 homes came back within 2% of their old asking price and then sold this summer. 94% of them sold below that old price. Holding the number on the listing didn't hold it at the offer table.

A fair caveat: an expired or terminated listing doesn't automatically mean a home is overpriced. Some sellers had already adjusted, and in Riverdale and Leslieville, detached homes were still selling at a median 103% of asking this summer.

Thinking of selling, or watching a home that's come back on the market? Message me and I'll show you what this season's sales say about your street.

Common question: "Can a seller accept another offer after accepting mine?"

Short answer: not just because a better one came along.

Once your offer is accepted, you have a deal. Ontario's standard Agreement of Purchase and Sale (OREA Form 100) says that upon acceptance "there shall be a binding agreement of purchase and sale between Buyer and Seller." A higher offer that shows up the next day doesn't undo that.

If your deal is conditional (on financing or an inspection, for example), it's still an agreement. It ends only on its own terms.

The one to watch is an escape clause. Some conditional deals include one. It lets the seller keep marketing the home, and if another offer comes in, you get notice and a set amount of time to waive your conditions. Waive in time and you keep the house. Don't, and the deal ends. Know before you sign whether yours has one, and how long you'd have.

You may still see showings or hear about other offers after acceptance. RECO, Ontario's real estate regulator, expects a seller's agent to pass along every offer "regardless of the timing" unless the seller has said otherwise. Hearing about an offer isn't the same as the seller being free to take it.
