New registration requirements for newly built homes in Ontario
If you’re thinking about a newly built home in Ontario, here’s an important update: starting January 1, 2027, all purchase agreements for new builds must be registered within 45 days. This change is part of the province’s home warranty program and helps protect buyers by making sure builders are properly licensed and keeping illegal sales in check. And if you’re worried about your deposit—good news. Even if things run late or a registration falls through the cracks, deposit protection remains in place. I always keep an eye on these shifts to help my clients—whether you’re a first-time buyer or planning your next investment—move forward with confidence and clarity.

York Region Homes Remain Strong at $1.15M in July 2026
In July 2026, we saw some notable shifts in the York Region real estate market. Home sales edged up by 1.3% compared to last year, but active listings tightened further, dropping 11.8%. The average home price settled at $1.15 million—a 2% decrease from the previous month and 7.1% lower than a year ago. Detached homes experienced the most significant change, with prices down 4.2% month-over-month and 8.8% annually, while condos registered mixed results across different segments.

For those navigating these changing numbers, it’s always important to understand what’s driving the market and how it might impact your next move. Having spent over eight years guiding clients through both rising and cooling markets in the Greater Toronto Area, I know that every shift brings both challenges and opportunities. My commitment remains to provide clear, honest insights—so whether you’re considering a purchase, a sale, or simply keeping an eye on trends, you can feel confident and supported in your decisions.
