Closing Day Costs Money
This Comes Back

Land transfer tax, the lawyer, title insurance, the movers: you pay all of it around closing. Your rebate arrives after, which makes it the cheque that puts those costs back in your pocket.

About 26% in Toronto. About 46% Everywhere Else

On a $1,000,000 purchase in Toronto, your $10,000 rebate puts back about 26% of what closing day cost you. Anywhere else we serve, the 905, Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge or Guelph, there is no municipal land transfer tax, so the same $10,000 covers about 46%.

First-Time Buyer?

You are eligible for a land transfer tax rebate of up to $4,000 provincially, anywhere in Ontario. If you buy inside the City of Toronto you can claim up to $4,475 more against the municipal tax. Ask us and we will run your actual figures before you offer.

Where a Five-Figure Cheque Tends to Go

01

Pay Themselves Back

Land transfer tax and legal fees came out of savings on closing day. The rebate puts a chunk of it back.

02

Furnish the Place

A $10,000 cheque is a kitchen table, a bed, a couch and a fridge, without a credit card behind it.

03

Hit the Mortgage

Most lenders allow a prepayment in the first year. Ten thousand dollars against principal early is worth far more than ten thousand dollars later.

04

Fix the One Thing

The roof the inspector flagged, or the electrical panel you agreed to live with to win the offer.
