 Toronto's luxury home market is hot

Forest Hill and Bridle Path are the hottest spots for real estate worth $1 million-plus as February sales and prices soar.

A heated Toronto real estate market is lifting sales of luxury homes as the economy starts to improve and move-up buyers regain confidence, says a report by Coldwell Banker Terrequity Realty released Wednesday.
The top-performing area with sale prices in excess of $1 million in 2009 was Forest Hill, where 280 homes changed hands at an average price of $1.42 million.
The Bridle Path area was in second place, with 221 sales and an average price of $2.1 million.
Oakville, west of Toronto, came in third with 174 properties sold with an average value of $1.67 million.

Stop the HST Tax Grab

Stop the HST Tax Grab

Subject: Stop the HST - Cost of buying, owning and selling a home to go up by 8%

Earlier this week, the Government of Ontario formally launched its latest assault on homeowners, purchasers and sellers with the introduction of legislation to harmonize the provincial sales tax and goods and services tax.

Homebuyers and sellers will pay 8 per cent more on legal fees, appraisals, real estate commissions, home inspection fees, and moving costs, adding about $1,500 in new taxes to the average residential real estate transaction in Ontario.

 

For homeowners the HST will also add hundreds of dollars in additional tax on utility bills (gas, electricity and home heating fuel), on home renovation labour, the cost of lawn upkeep or landscaping and the cost of snow removal.

Please help Ontario REALTORS® fight this tax. In less than 30 seconds you can send an email to your MPP asking them to vote against sales tax harmonization legislation, by clicking here: Call For Action

Should I Buy or Sell in 2009?

Should I Buy or Sell in 2009?

Don't be surprised ...

Thinking of selling your home? -- well there's always next year.

But wait .. next year may be too late. The new 13% harmonized sales tax comes into effect in Ontario on July 1, 2010, and it will likely hit the whole housing market hard. If you haven't sold by July 1, you may well be out of luck. And if you haven't bought by then, well, maybe you'll want to change your mind. And the funny thing is, hardly anyone seems to realize it.

"There are going to be a lot of very surprised people on July 1," says Jim Flood, director of government relations for the Ontario Real Estate Association. "It's a massive tax increase."

So here's the bad news: Although resale houses will not be taxed, everything to do with the sale will be -- the house inspection, the agent's commission, the moving costs and legal fees.

There will even be tax on the home energy audit all sellers are now compelled to carry out thanks to the Green Energy Act the McGuinty government passed in May. And speaking of the home energy audit, why isn't anyone concerned about that?

Altogether, that means the extra tax on a resale house priced at $369,000 will come in at roughly $2,000 (largely the tax on the agent's commission) and double that and more on many ordinary houses in Toronto, before you even remember you have to pay Toronto's onerous land-transfer tax, too.

It's enough to make you wonder exactly why you're thinking of moving. Or to get you packing your bags and calling the mover today.

But it's worse news for new home buyers, although not as bad as it was originally expected to be. Under pressure from groups like the Ontario Home Builders Association, the province has decided not to levy the tax on the first $400,000 of any new home purchase. (GST has been payable for a number of years but builders tend to hide it in the house price.)

So on a $500,000 house, the extra HST hit will be $6,000 instead of $30,000 (builders get a 2% tax credit that lowers the overall tax hit from 8% to 6%). Without that change, the loss of a potential 21,200 jobs in the GTA alone looked probable. That's enough to scare off first-time home buyers and potentially many other people struggling to make ends meet.

Easy, according to the OREA's Flood: "There's a lot of ignorance. I don't think the average consumer is even aware of the tax." The HST will impact many things you haven't even thought of yet -- but the housing-related taxes are killers.

How new tax adds to cost of a sale:

  • Realtor Commission $1,100- $1,700
  • Mortgage insurance $470
  • Legal costs $80
  • *
  • Home Inspection $32
  • Title Insurance $15
  • Total $1,747 -$2,297

(Estimates based on house less than $400,000, from Ontario Real Estate Association)
