I just wanted to update everyone on another house I have available in Brampton for sale. This beautiful semi-detached home is only 1.5 years old and is located in the northwest corner of Brampton, in a very popular neighbourhood. The house is sunny and inviting, and is in move-in condition. The great room is spacious and perfect for entertaining the family, while the kitchen features gleaming ceramic tiles and new appliances. The breakfast area is very sunny and walks out onto the patio in the backyard. The entire house has brand new carpeting.
The master bedroom features an ensuite bathroom with a glass shower door and a walk-in closet.

Rhonda Hi Lang,
I just read your home prices for 2009, very interesting. I will be on the hunt for a detached 4 bedroom approx. 2400 sq ft home in the Springdale area in another year or so, what are the current market value for these homes, possibly with a finished basement, do you think the prices will go up within the next year, is this a good area to invest in the future ?.
I’ve just finished compiling the final selling prices for all homes in the W23 district of Brampton (that’s anywhere West of Highway 410) for 2009. I’ll be working on the numbers for W24 and have them posted shortly.
Hope this chart will provide useful for some of you!
One of the most frequent questions I get from clients is about the upcoming Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) and how it will affect the purchase of a home. Here is the breakdown of the rules:
When does the HST take effect?
July 1, 2010.
How much tax will I be paying in total?
13% (That’s 5% GST + 8% PST).
I’m buying a resale home, so will I have to pay this HST?
Good news! The answer is NO! If you’re buying a resale home, you simply pay the purchase price as usual.
I’m thinking of buying a new home from the builder, so will I have to pay this HST?
Ouch, yes you do!
But wait, I heard there is some sort of rebate program in place if I bought a brand new home?
The Province is proposing a rebate so that new homes across all price ranges would receive a 75 per cent rebate of the provincial portion of the single sales tax on the first $400,000. For new homes under $400,000, this would mean, on average, no additional tax amount compared to the current system.
Is there anything else that I would have to pay HST on?
Unfortunately, they’re hitting you everywhere. You’ll be paying HST on legal fees, moving costs, home inspection fees, and real estate commissions.
Where can I find out the full details of this tax and how it works?
lang Hi Brent
Yes, in this case you would.
Generally, sales of new homes under written agreements of purchase and sale entered into on or before June 18, 2009 would not be subject to the provincial portion of the single sales tax, even if both ownership and possession are transferred on or after July 1, 2010. The tax would also not apply to sales of new homes under written agreements of purchase and sale entered into after June 18, 2009 where ownership or possession is transferred before July 1, 2010.
Hope that helps!
Lang
Brent If I purchase a new home before July 2010 but completion date is Summer of 2011, would I still have to pay the HST tax?

As the holiday season is now upon us, despite the fact that we’ve still yet to see snow, you might be dreading all the cash you’ll soon be dropping on gifts for your friends and family. And if you’re planning on selling your house this winter, what makes matters worse is thinking about all the real estate commissions you’ll be paying.
So for a limited time, I’ll be taking all listings at 1% commission for the listing side. As usual, you’ll still have to pay 2.5% to the buyers side. However, if I sell the house myself to my own clients or from this blog, you’ll be paying only 1% in total.
Although you’ll be paying substantially less real estate commissions, you’ll still be getting full MLS service. Here’s what you’ll be getting for 1% commission:
Full MLS service, meaning your home gets listed on Realtor.ca (formerly MLS.ca)
Exposure of your home on the 1st page of Google
A full article written about your home that will be featured here on the Brampton Real Estate Blog
Stunning photography of your home that beats over 95% of the typical horrible pictures you see on other listings
Advertising on several newspapers, websites (including Kijiji, Craigslist, and eShazoom), inter-office postings, and mailings
An easy-exit promise, which means if at anytime you’re unhappy and wish to cancel, it’s no questions asked and absolutely no cost or fees
Give me a call at 905-268-1000 and ask for Lang, and I’ll be glad to help you sell your home quickly and for the highest possible price.
So maybe you’re thinking of selling your home soon, but your friends are telling you to wait until the spring time to take advantage of the spring market. After all, wouldn’t it be better to sell in a busy market rather than through the quieter winter months?
Not necessarily.
Here are some great reasons why you should be selling your house now instead of waiting for the spring.
People buy and sell homes all throughout the year. Not listing your house now means you’re losing out on potential buyers who are looking to buy a home right away.
Due to the colder weather and occasional snow storms, you’ll get a lot less casual buyers wasting your time. Buyers who are braving bad weather are much more serious.
There are less houses on the market, which means less competition for you.
If you’ve decided you’re ready to sell in the winter, here are some tips for getting your house sold!
Make sure your windows are clean – Windows tend to get dusty and covered with snow. Cleaning your windows and pulling back the curtains lets in sunlight to brighten up your rooms.
Make ample use of warm lighting and lamps – Cheer your home buyers up with warm, inviting lighting in every room. Winter days tend to be darker, so make sure every room is well lit. Get extra table lamps if you need to add a dash of lighting in any corner. Why not turn on the fireplace as well?
Clear snow and ice away from the sidewalk and driveway – Show your buyers that your home is well maintained and that you’re expecting them.
Add a little holiday spirit with some outside staging - Adding wreaths or tasteful holiday decorations always brings festive spirits.
Most of all, make sure you hire a reliable real estate agent that doesn’t disappear for the holidays. If you’re thinking of selling your home in Brampton, don’t forget to give me a call and let me handle the sale while you can enjoy the holiday season. Just call 905-268-1000 and ask for Lang.

Hi everyone.
I have a very lovely and recently renovated semi-detached home on a quiet street in the Heartlake area of Brampton. It’s a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home in a great neighbourhood with fantastic neighbours.
The home has been freshly painted and has a myriad of recent renovations. Among them:
July 2009 continued to post record sales, carrying on the surge of transactions from June. Compared to the same time last year, July 2009 reported 9,967 sales, up 28%. The average price per transaction went up 6% from July of last year. It’s official – last month was the busiest July on record!
The average [...]
Hi everyone.
I just wanted to post a new listing I have available in the prestigious downtown core of Brampton.

June of 2009 was a great indication of just how strong the real estate market has bounced back from the lows of a few months ago. June proved to be the BEST JUNE ON RECORD, showing increased sales by 27% over June of 2008. The average price for homes in the Greater Toronto Area [...]
May proved to be an extremely busy month, with sales up almost two percent compared to May of 2008. The average price for May transacations was down less than one percent compared to the same month last year. With recent low mortgage rates, buyers are flocking to listings. Inventory has begun to decline with [...]
If you've found me through Google, you most likely used keywords such as brampton real estate, new homes in brampton, homes for sale in brampton, houses for sale in brampton, brampton homes, brampton condos, brampton real estate agent, and possibly one of many others.
My goal is to rank high on the #1 page of search results for these keywords so that I can get more exposure for your homes that are listed with me.
I believe the internet is unequivocally the best way to attract buyers to your home, as more and more home buyers are using MLS.ca (Realtor.ca) to search from the comfort of their own home, without the pressure of a real estate agent.
The purpose of this blog is to reach those internet savvy buyers and sellers and connect them here on my site.
Thanks for reading!
What Clients Say About Me
"Dear Lang, We just wanted to send our gratitude and extended thanks once again for your professionalism, on selling our home. We have dealt with many agents in the past and nobody comes close to the way you handled the complete transaction of selling our home.
You are one of the rarest real estate agents out there!!! One thing we hate are pushy sales people, that don't care about their clients and simply want to sell your house at the lowest possible price to sell fast and make their commission and leave.
You on the other hand were there anytime we needed you, and listened to exactly what we wanted and needed. You are very thoughtful, considerate and understanding, and on the ball at any time of the day we contacted you. And best of all you got us the price we wanted and deserved for our home.
We respect and appreciate all that you have done for our family, and we will definitely be contacting you for any real estate transactions we may make in the future." - Angela & Joe Clarke
"Congrats, Lang I wish you the best of luck! I like to thank you for what a great job you have done to help me and Tina sell and buy our home. You have gone way above and beyond your job functions. Not only are you honest and true, but you keep it real! You are down to earth and straight to the point kind of guy. Once again thank you for what you have done for us." - Daniel & Tina C.
"Lang, you did an awesome job selling our home and we're glad we called you back. Thanks for helping us out when we needed it the most. We recommend you anytime someone mentions real estate in Brampton." - Carrie L.
"We bought our first house with Lang and he actually helped us make informed decisions unlike other agents we talked to who were total jerks. If you're a first-time homebuyer, Lang does a really great job. And he's very honest!" - Kuljeet S.
