Buyer FAQs
Questions every buyer asks,
answered honestly.
Buying a home comes with a lot of questions — here are the ones we hear most, with straight answers.
How much deposit do I need when I make an offer?
+In the Oakville and Greater Toronto area, a deposit of roughly 5% of the purchase price is typical, usually due within 24 hours of your offer being accepted. The deposit shows the seller you're serious and is held in trust — it counts toward your down payment at closing.
What are closing costs in Ontario?
+Plan for roughly 1.5% to 4% of the purchase price on top of your down payment. The biggest pieces are land transfer tax, legal fees, title insurance, and adjustments for things like prepaid property taxes. A home inspection and moving costs are on top of that. We'll walk you through the exact numbers for any home you're considering, so there are no surprises on closing day.
What is land transfer tax and how much will I pay?
+Ontario charges land transfer tax on every home purchase, on a sliding scale — the more the home costs, the higher the rate on each portion of the price. If you buy within the City of Toronto, a second municipal land transfer tax applies on top of the provincial one. Homes in Oakville, Burlington, Milton, and Mississauga only pay the provincial tax — a real savings compared to buying in Toronto.
Do first-time buyers get any rebates or programs?
+Yes — several. First-time buyers can get a rebate of up to $4,000 on Ontario land transfer tax, and programs like the First Home Savings Account (FHSA) and the RRSP Home Buyers' Plan let you put tax-advantaged savings toward your down payment. Programs change over time, so we'll make sure you're taking advantage of everything you qualify for.
How much do I need for a down payment?
+The minimum in Canada is 5% on the first $500,000 of the purchase price and 10% on the portion above that, up to $1.5 million. Homes over $1.5 million require 20% down. If you put down less than 20%, you'll add mortgage default insurance to your loan. We can connect you with trusted mortgage professionals to find the right structure for your situation.
How long does closing take?
+The closing date is negotiated as part of your offer — most buyers choose 30 to 90 days after acceptance, with about 60 days being common. If you need a faster close or extra time to sell your current home, that's part of the strategy we build into your offer.
Does it cost me anything to work with a buyer's agent?
+In most transactions, the buyer's agent is paid from the commission offered on the sale, so our expert guidance, negotiation, and representation typically come at no direct cost to you. We'll explain exactly how compensation works, in writing, before you commit to anything.
