What GTA Buyers Ask Most

1. Do I need a pre-approval before buying in the GTA?

Yes. In the GTA, sellers expect it. A pre-approval helps you move quickly and shows you’re a serious buyer.

2. How much down payment do I need in Toronto and the GTA?

Minimums start at 5% for homes under $1M, but many GTA buyers need more depending on price, property type, and lender rules.

3. What extra costs should I expect in the GTA?

Toronto buyers pay both provincial and municipal land transfer tax. Legal fees, inspections, and moving costs also add up quickly.

4. Is the GTA still a competitive market?

It depends on the neighbourhood and price range. Some areas see multiple offers, others allow room to negotiate. Local insight matters.

5. Should I buy first or sell first in the GTA?

Timing is key. Market conditions, bridge financing, and your comfort level all play a role. There’s no universal answer.

6. Are conditions still possible in GTA offers?

Yes, in many cases. Financing and inspection conditions are still common, depending on the property and how the offer is structured.

7. How long does it take to buy a home in the GTA?

Some buyers find a home in weeks, others take months. GTA markets move at different speeds, even street by street.

8. Do I need a home inspection in Toronto?

Highly recommended, especially for older homes and condos with shared systems. Skipping it should always be a deliberate choice.

9. What’s the difference between freehold and condo ownership?

Freeholds mean full ownership and maintenance. Condos include shared costs and rules. Many GTA buyers weigh lifestyle just as much as price.

10. Do buyers pay their agent in Ontario?

Typically, the seller pays the buyer’s agent commission. I explain how this works clearly before we start.

Words from Our Clients

It was a pleasure working with Elise and Austin, who helped us find our first home. They were both very kind, patient, and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. And it took several months of searching and countless homes until we found the right one. And we never felt pressured to make an offer if it wasn't what we wanted. If one of them wasn't available for a visit, the other always stepped up so that we could make it to see the house. It was a long process, but we are so happy that we chose to work with Elise and Austin because they made what can be a stressful experience a very enjoyable one. Would highly recommend them and the Harvey Kalles team!

I had realistic expectations that my condo in Liberty Village would not sell in this real estate market, even after a drastic price reduction. Only 2 units sold in my building all year. Elise and Austin miraculously sold my condo July 2025 within weeks of listing and with a dozen condos in the building for sale at the same time . Their advice to stage the unit was absolutely correct . Elise and Austin were super professional, honest and always available. It is now end of September and mine is still the only condo that sold since July. No hesitation to recommend Elise and Austin!

Austin and Elise were absolutely fantastic in helping us find a rental apartment in Toronto. They were honest, attentive, and always quick to respond. Their guidance made the entire process smooth and stress free, and they went out of their way to make us feel at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better duo to help us with our move! Thank you both again!

Elise and Austin are amazing at what they do! My family and I are so happy to have bought and sold our first home with Elise and recently purchased our forever home. From start to finish, they were super responsive and was able to answer any questions we had. Each buying/selling process we experienced with Elise went smoothly due to her many years in the industry, which helped us feel confident through every step of the way. We highly recommend Elise and Austin for buying/selling your next property!

Our very first rental and Elise did a wonderful job understanding the environment we wanted during our home renovation. We went to see an assortment of places with Elise and Austin in the area we had set our sights on. Elise was excellent at finding properties where many of them could have been quite suitable. No pressure was felt yet Elise was able to guide us through the process. Definitely would recommend the team.
