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?
You can read all the exciting details right here.

Seasons greetings, everyone!
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.
All the best,
Lang
