  • Canada’s Principal Residence Exemption Has Limits

    Canada’s principal residence exemption can fully shelter a gain, but only one property per family unit qualifies yearly, and even tax-free sales still require reporting.
    In Canada, a disposition includes gifts, trust transfers, use changes, emigration, and death; when taxable, half the gain is added to income.
    Cottages, rentals, and second homes can create taxable gains; changing a property’s use may trigger one, and under-365-day sales are generally business income.
    Estate planning matters: death usually triggers a deemed sale, spousal transfers can defer tax, and trusts need careful timing, filings, and family agreements.
    Certain bare trusts must file for taxation years ending on or after December 31, 2026; first returns are generally due March 31, 2027.

  • Global Tips for Parents Downsizing

    Begin with respect and a shared goal. Ask what still works, what feels harder, and what would make a future home easier.
    Frame downsizing as simplification: less yardwork, fewer repairs, fewer rooms to clean, and fewer bills. If debts are stacked, consolidation could help; compare terms carefully.
    Some experts suggest starting 6-12 mo before moving. Use short, regular sorting sessions, beginning in less sentimental spaces, with keep, donate, sell, and discard piles.
    Give important records their own folder: financial statements, insurance policies, medical records, tax forms, estate planning documents, and key contacts for advisors, attorneys, and doctors.
    Keep the belongings that matter most, use photos or digital archives for other memories, and center the move on comfort, independence, and control.

  • LRT connection

    LRT connection

    The Hazel McCallion Line is planned as an 18-kilometre light-rail transit connection running primarily along Hurontario Street. It will link Port Credit GO in Mississauga with Brampton Gateway Terminal at Steeles Avenue, creating a direct north–south transit spine through Mississauga and into Brampton.

    With 19 planned stops and a dedicated right-of-way, the line is designed to make travel along the Hurontario corridor more direct and convenient. It will also connect with existing GO, MiWay, Brampton Transit and Züm services, giving residents more options for commuting, errands and regional travel.

    Construction continues in 2026, so localized lane restrictions and roadwork may affect travel in the short term. For buyers and homeowners, the project is an important neighbourhood conversation: improved transit access can influence daily routines, connectivity and how communities are experienced.

    Thinking about living near Hurontario or Port Credit? Save this FAQ and reach out for a local real estate perspective on neighbourhoods, housing options and future connectivity.

  • GTA Homebuyer Competition Weakens Further

    In Mid-Q3, just 2% of qualifying GTA neighbourhoods landed in overbidding territory, versus 3% in Early-Q3, signaling softer buyer competition across the market.
    Among 267 qualifying GTA neighbourhoods, 97% were underbid and 1% sold at asking in Mid-Q3, showing bidding wars were rare across GTA.
    The condo and single-family gap kept narrowing: 95% of neighbourhoods with enough single-family sales were underbid, versus 98% of qualifying condo neighbourhoods.
    An economist said Mid-Q3 had been one of GTA Real Estate’s quietest periods, and recently that pattern meant less competition for buyers.
    Across 4.2K GTA homes sold in Mid-Q3, 79% changed hands below asking, versus 78% in Early-Q3, as single-family homes stopped bucking softer demand.
