What is my Vaughan home worth?
The honest answer comes from recent sales of similar homes in your part of Vaughan, adjusted for what makes yours different: lot size and frontage, a ravine or conservation backing, the level of renovation, the layout, and the school catchment. A Woodbridge detached, a Maple townhome and a Kleinburg estate are different markets, so a city-wide average is the wrong starting point.
Our home evaluation is free and comes with no obligation. You get a price range, the sales it is based on, and our view of how to position the home in the current market.

Should you set an offer date?
An offer date can bring competing buyers to the table together, but it only works when demand for your type of home in your community supports it. In a slower segment, taking offers as they come is often the stronger approach. We make that call with you based on current activity, not habit.
What does selling cost?
The main costs are the commission, which is negotiable and set out in your listing agreement, HST on that commission, legal fees, and any mortgage discharge or prepayment penalty. Sellers in Ontario do not pay land transfer tax. We go through the numbers with you before you sign anything; see what it costs to sell a house in Vaughan for the full breakdown.
How long does it take?
It depends on the home, the price and the market at the time, which is why we give you a realistic timeline after the evaluation rather than a promise. The steps themselves are set out in how to sell a house in Vaughan, step by step.
Selling and buying at the same time
Many of our Vaughan sellers are also buying. We plan the order of the two transactions with you, including closing dates, bridge financing with your lender, and whether a purchase should be conditional on your sale.
Selling a tenanted property
