Living in Toronto
Many Toronto households look north to York Region and Simcoe County. GO Transit's Barrie line runs from Union Station to Aurora, Newmarket, East Gwillimbury, Bradford, Barrie South and Allandale Waterfront; the Richmond Hill and Stouffville lines and Highways 400 and 404 also head north.
Land transfer tax is part of the picture: a Toronto purchase pays both the Ontario land transfer tax and the Toronto Municipal Land Transfer Tax, while a York Region or Simcoe County purchase pays only the Ontario tax. First-time buyers may get up to $4,000 back on the Ontario tax and up to $4,475 back on the Toronto MLTT.
We also help clients buy and sell within Toronto itself.
