Fewer homes sold in March 2024 than:
1. March 2023, worst sales year since the 90's
2. March 2020, when covid started
The last time fewer homes sold in March was 2009.
@emacgabhann @VinceGaetano Yes, we have a fixed fee model. As @VinceGaetano mentioned, title insurance can be a variable cost, depending on the purchase price.
Our brokerage has been using @getdeeded to close our client home purchases and mortgage transactions and it’s a god send.
Three borrowers in three different locations able to close a purchase transaction virtually. Easy, seamless and efficient.
Give it a try & impress clients.
Today is the deadline for Toronto property owners to fill out the online property declaration.
If you miss the deadline, you may incur a penalty and your property may be deemed vacant, and therefore subject to the #vacanthometax

If you own a property in the city of Toronto, you likely received a letter from the city asking you to submit an online declaration for the purposes of the vacant home tax.
Effective January 2023, the Canadian government is introducing an “anti-flipping” tax.
Flipping has been defined in government documents as “purchasing real estate with the intention of reselling the property in a short period of time to realize a profit.”
Essentially, under the new tax law, anyone who sells a property which they owned for less than 12 months (specifically, 365 consecutive days) will be considered to have “flipped” the house and any profits from the deal will be taxed as business income.
