Aside from the cost of a new home, there are a number of other expenses for buyers.

Yes. When you buy property in Ontario, you are subject to land transfer tax (LTT) which varies depending on where you live in Ontario. The LTT is a marginal tax that is based upon the purchase price of your home and it is due upon closing. If you buy a home in Toronto, you pay both the provincial and municipal taxes. However, if you buy a home outside of Toronto, you’ll only pay provincial tax. To take a closer look at how LTT works, check out TRREB’s helpful LTT Calculator page.
Before shopping for a home, speaking with a mortgage specialist is always a great place to begin the process. With their help, you will determine how much you can comfortably afford to spend. Plus, determining a budget will help narrow down your home search, ensuring you are only looking at homes that fit your criteria.
