This blog is your starter guide to buying a home for the first time. We’ll talk about how to buy your first home in Ontario, tax benefits for first time home buyers, the home buying process, and more.

Being a first time home buyer is undoubtedly exciting, but it can be intimidating too! There’s a good chance that your first home will be the biggest purchase you’ve made in your life so far. When the time comes, you’ll want to be ready. There are a lot of steps to buying a house, and if you don’t know what to expect, things can get overwhelming in a hurry.

As a real estate team that specializes in helping first time home buyers, we’re here to help!

Saving Up For Your First Home

One of the first steps to buying a house for the first time in Canada is saving up. If you’ve already secured the necessary funds to buy a home, you can skip to the next section of this blog.

A home is not a small purchase – especially in Ontario. So, unless you’re a lottery winner or have access to substantial financial support, you’ll need to have a diligent savings plan for at least a few years before you head to the market.

Here’s the good news. Most first time home buyers in Canada have access to certain financial programs that can make the savings process easier and faster. One great example is the First Home Savings Account, or FHSA for short.

The FHSA is a unique type of savings account where you can make tax-deductible contributions on your way to saving up for a house. These contributions max out at $8,000 a year to a total of $40,000, so there are some serious benefits. You also won’t be taxed when you’re eventually ready to withdraw your FHSA savings, as long as you’re using the funds properly.

Know What You Can Afford to Spend

Once you’ve got enough saved up, it’s time to figure out what you can actually afford to spend on your first home. This process is more intricate than you may expect.

Rather than using your savings to buy a property outright, you’ll instead be making a down payment on your home and supplementing the remaining costs with a mortgage. So, the next step in your homeownership journey is to find out how much of a mortgage you qualify for (aka your ‘borrowing capacity’). Luckily, this is fairly simple to do.

As a first time home buyer, the easiest way to assess your budget is by getting pre-approved for a mortgage. It doesn’t matter how early you are in the home buying process, connecting with your bank (or the lender of your choice), mulling over your personal finances, and getting pre-approved can give you a solid idea of what you can afford.

Understanding the Costs of Buying a House

As you’re putting together your first home budget, don’t forget to account for some of the other costs that can come with it. Beyond just the cost of the house itself, you will be on the hook for additional expenses like legal fees, land transfer taxes (before rebates), insurance, and moving costs.

Curious about other costs that come with buying a house? Read our blog about the hidden costs of purchasing real estate.

Know What You Need

Now that you know a little more about your financial resources, it’s time to sit down and think about what you’re looking for in your first home. Consider how many rooms you may need, which neighbourhoods you like best, and how your needs might change over the next few years.

One thing to remember is that your first home probably won’t be your forever home. In other words, there’s a good chance that you might not find something that checks every last box on your wishlist without breaking your budget – and that’s okay.

At the end of the day, your first home is ultimately a stepping stone to your dream home. That doesn’t mean that you can’t find a great place to begin your journey of homeownership, but it’s helpful to keep in mind as you begin house hunting.

Vaughan, Ontario, is one of the best communities in the Greater Toronto Area. However, not everyone is familiar with Vaughan’s unique identity and its relationship to Canada’s largest city – especially folks who don’t live here, so we often hear the question “Is Vaughan in Toronto?”

In this blog, we’re clearing the air on Vaughan, its identity as a Toronto suburb, what it’s like to live there, and more!

Where is Vaughan, Ontario?

If you’re looking at a map, it’s easy to see why some people may think that Vaughan is part of Toronto. After all, the two cities share a border.

From a bird’s-eye view, Vaughan is more or less located north of Toronto’s west end. Officially, its southern border is marked by Steeles Avenue West, which stretches from Brampton and Caledon in the west to parts of Markham and Richmond Hill along Yonge Street in the east. Vaughan extends a fair bit north, stopping just shy of the communities of Nobleton and King City.

Vaughan Landmarks

Another easy way to visualize Vaughan’s location is with local landmarks. Even if you’re unfamiliar with where Vaughan is, you may have visited (or at least heard of) a few of our local attractions like Canada’s Wonderland or Vaughan Mills. Or if you’ve ever ridden Toronto’s subway system, you may have used Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Station, which is the final stop on the western portion of Line 1.

Is Vaughan Part of Toronto?

On paper, no – Vaughan is not formally part of the City of Toronto. Rather, Vaughan is an independent city with its own municipal government, services, and bylaws as part of York Region.

However, because the two cities are so close to each other (both geographically and in spirit), there is plenty of overlap between Vaughan and Toronto in terms of culture, demographics, economics and infrastructure.

If you asked “Is Vaughan in the GTA?” The answer is: Yes! However, you should know, that as one of the Greater Toronto Area’s biggest (and best) suburbs, Vaughan has its own distinct identity. In fact, if you ask most locals where they’re from, they’ll proudly tell you Vaughan, rather than looping themselves in with the big city.

Of course, there’s still plenty of crossover between both, with many Vaughan residents commuting to Toronto for work or school – and vice versa.

How Far is Vaughan From Toronto?

Vaughan and Toronto are essentially next-door neighbours. So, the two cities are as close as you can be.

That said, because both Vaughan and Toronto are geographically big cities, travelling from one to the other can vary based on your specific destination. For instance, travelling from downtown Toronto to Vaughan Metropolitan Centre by car can take anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour, depending on traffic. However, getting from Toronto’s York University to Vaughan’s Woodbridge neighbourhood is as easy as crossing the street.

How Big is Vaughan?

Something that may surprise you about Vaughan is its size. One thing we hear all the time as local real estate agents is, “Is Vaughan a city?” and the answer is yes, absolutely.

As of 2025, Vaughan is home to more than 350,000 people, and it’s still growing. In terms of the Vaughan population, it ranks among the largest cities in Ontario, and is in the top 20 for all of Canada.

Beyond just the population itself, Vaughan really feels like a city. You’ve got all the amenities and advantages you’d expect from a metropolitan urban area, like great entertainment and restaurants, a robust public transportation network, plenty of culture, great job opportunities, access to two airports, and more. Not to mention, all these perks come without the price tag of living in central Toronto.

What’s it Like Living in Vaughan?

There’s a lot to love about living in Vaughan, whatever your ideal lifestyle may look like. For instance, families love Vaughan’s kid-friendly neighbourhoods, affordable homes, high-ranking schools, and welcoming atmosphere. Affluent residents are drawn to Vaughan’s great selection of luxury properties, high-end neighbourhoods, and upscale amenities – including some of the top golf courses in Canada like the National Golf Club and Copper Creek.

Moving to Vaughan?

If you’re thinking about moving to Vaughan, you’ll want to work with a relocation specialist. More specifically, a local real estate agent who has the connections and expertise to help you find a great place. That’s where we come in, the Lino Arci team.

As Vaughan’s top real estate team (and local residents ourselves), we’ve helped countless buyers find the right home, in the right neighbourhood – and we can do the same for you!

There are a lot of important factors to consider when selling real estate – especially if there are tenants involved. 

Whether you’re a landlord who’s looking to sell their investment property or are a homeowner who hosts tenants in a basement suite or spare room, navigating the sale process from start to finish can seem like a handful. However, if you know what to expect and have the right support by your side, you can sell your tenanted property with minimal stress (and for top dollar)! 

In this blog, we’ll cover some of the essential considerations of selling a property when you have tenants. 

As a hot topic in recent years, there are a lot of myths out there about owning income property in the GTA. Click here to read our post on the 5 biggest misconceptions about investing in real estate. 

Start With an Expert

The most effective way to begin your selling process is to get in touch with a local real estate agent – bonus points if they specialize in working with investors and landlords. An agent’s professional expertise is critical to your success in any type of home sale, however, it’s even more valuable when tenants living in the property. 

First and foremost a great agent will help you make the most of your sale, ensuring you’re able to sell for the most amount of money in the shortest amount of time. On top of that, they’ll help you stay informed of your responsibilities as a landlord before, during, and after your sale. This includes all the critical legal nuances as well as guidance on things like communication.

Understanding Your Responsibilities (and Rights!)

Selling a property that is currently lived in (by someone other than the owner) will come with a little bit of red tape. Although following various rules and regulations is par for the course as an investor and landlord, there will be a few new complexities to be aware of when you actually sell your property. 

That said, these regulatory obligations are far less cumbersome than many property owners assume – and, you’ll also have a distinct set of rights as a landlord that keep your interests protected during the sale too. 

Must-Knows & Tenant Timelines

So what are your primary responsibilities and must-knows when selling with tenants? There are a few. 

First, it’s important to address whether or not one or more of your tenants are still under the first 12 months of their lease. As per the Ontario Residential Tenancies Act (RTA), if any tenants are still within the first 12 months of their lease, it must be honoured should they wish to stay in the property. Of course, you’re still able to begin and proceed with your sale during that time. However, a buyer will not be able to pursue an eviction until the initial year of the lease has concluded. 

All that said, you don’t need to proactively evict tenants (those beyond the initial years of their lease) simply because you are selling the property. In some cases, having existing tenants could be a plus for interested buyers. Instead, maintaining open communication with your tenants as you sell can help make the process smoother for everyone involved.

What About Showings?

Along with lease timelines, showings are another area where tenants have a fair amount of regulatory protection. 

When buyers are set to begin touring the property, you must provide your tenants with a minimum of 24 hours notice before entering their room or unit. Also outlined by the RTA, showings can only be scheduled between the hours of 8 AM and 8 PM. 

It’s also worth noting that tenants may legally be present during the showing if they choose, however, you are allowed to ask them to temporarily vacate if you or your real estate agent would prefer the property to be vacant during showings.

There are countless modern condo developments sprouting up across the Greater Toronto Area. As these unique properties make for amazing homes, investments, and more, a greater number of buyers are considering taking the pre-construction route. 

Overall, pre-construction condos have a lot of advantages for both end users and real estate investors. However, there are potential drawbacks and other considerations to be aware of.

This blog is designed to help you determine if purchasing this unique type of property is right for you. 

The Perks

Selection & Personalization

Pre-construction condos present a unique opportunity for buyers to customize their living space according to their preferences. From selecting finishes and fixtures to choosing layout configurations, purchasers can actively participate in shaping their future home to an extent. This level of personalization ensures that the final product aligns with the buyer’s lifestyle. 

An Easier Buying Experience

In a competitive real estate market like Toronto’s, finding and buying a home can be a challenging task. As a unique type of purchase, opting for a pre-construction condo allows buyers to bypass the competitive conditions of the resale market – avoiding stressful conditions and potential bidding wars. This reduced competition can lead to a smoother purchasing process and an increased likelihood of acquiring the desired unit at a favourable price.

Building Equity

One of the primary benefits of opting for a pre-construction condo is the ability to purchase a property that will begin to appreciate in value almost immediately. In an active, always-growing real estate market like the GTA property values tend to rise steadily. By purchasing during the pre-construction phase, buyers capitalize on the potential for significant appreciation, often resulting in a more substantial return on investment compared to buying a ready-built unit or detached home. 

Moreover, developers often offer attractive incentives such as lower initial deposits and flexible payment plans during the pre-construction phase. This financial flexibility can be particularly advantageous for first-time buyers or investors seeking to manage their cash flow efficiently. Additionally, buyers who work with a well-connected real estate agent will unlock even greater benefits to enhance their purchasing power – more on that later.

Special Considerations

While pre-construction condos come with a multitude of advantages, there are some considerations to keep in mind. As a special type of property and purchase, they may not suit the goals of every buyer. 

Patience is Required

One of the most notable distinctions between purchasing a pre-construction condo and something resale is the possession timeline. Buying a move-in ready condo allows buyers to live in their new home within typically just a few months, however, it’s a much longer timeline in the case of pre-construction condos. 

While occupancy dates can vary based on the development, specific unit, and the buyer themselves, it’s not uncommon for move-in day to be well beyond a year after the initial purchase. 

Potential Delays

Another drawback of going the pre-construction route is the possibility of delays. In Ontario, pre-construction developments can be set back or delayed by several weeks or even months. This can be a hassle, especially for buyers who are looking to time their move accordingly. 

That said, although developers retain the right to delay their projects, buyers also have various rights when it comes to changing occupancy dates. In some cases, they may be entitled to financial compensation or even a refund for their purchase.

Working With a Real Estate Agent

One of the most common misconceptions about buying a pre-construction condo is that there’s no reason to work with a real estate agent. In reality, buying a pre-construction condo is a complex process. Expert support from a real estate agent allows buyers to shop with confidence, and can also mean better prices and access to exclusive developments.  

If you’re looking for a well-connected team to guide you through a strategic pre-construction condo purchase, look no further than the Lino Arci Team. 

We’re also well-connected to a number of the Greater Toronto Area’s most in-demand pre-construction projects. Our clients get access to off-market properties, insider information, and more.

In this blog, we’ll cover our top five picks for Vaughan’s best neighbourhoods for families. 

Want to know more about why Vaughan is the perfect place to raise a family? Click here to read our blog post on the topic!

1. Vellore Village

Located on the west side of Vaughan, Vellore Village is a charming residential community that was built with families in mind. With some of the GTA’s top schools located nearby, amazing parks, easy access to everyday essentials, and of course – fantastic homes, it’s absolutely not hard to see why families love this neighbourhood. 

One of the best things about housing in Vellore Village is the variety. Ranging from spacious townhomes to modern detached properties, homes in Vellore Village are generally on the newer, more contemporary end. Along with the amazing selection of homes, other neighbourhood highlights include the super popular Vellore Village Community Centre, which is known for its brand-new fitness facilities, swimming pool, outdoor skating rinks and more.

2. Sonoma Heights

Scenically situated along the Humber River, Sonoma Heights is a relatively new, laid-back neighbourhood that’s perfect for families. As one of the most recently developed communities in Vaughan, this neighbourhood was meticulously designed for convenient suburban-style living. Today, Sonoma Heights is a friendly community that has all the essentials within arms reach including grocery stores, great restaurants, healthcare centres and more. 

Similar to Vellore Village, Sonoma Heights also has a great selection of family-friendly homes – most of which are high-end, newer-build options. You’ll also find fantastic schools located within the community or nearby – including options for faith-based learning and French immersion. 

3. Maple

Up along Vaughan’s northern boundary, Maple is a picturesque neighbourhood that offers a suburban lifestyle with all the amenities a family could wish for. 

As one of Vaughan’s more established communities, one of the standout features of Maple is its excellent school system. Whatever age or grade their kids fall into, parents can rest easy knowing they have access to some of the best schools in the region, ensuring a great start in life.  

Along with being an in-demand residential neighbourhood, Maple is perhaps best known for being home to Canada’s Wonderland. As arguably the best amusement park in the country, it’s a popular spot for families and Maple residents have it right in their backyard! 

4. Kleinburg

Kleinburg, which is perhaps the most unique neighbourhood on this list, is located in the northern part of Vaughan, just beyond the city’s main sprawl. Once an independent village, Kleinburg retains its historic and rural charm while still offering families all the necessary modern amenities. 

Because of its preserved small-town feel, families who love the idea of a close-knit community and separation from the hustle and bustle of city life will find Kleinburg particularly appealing. The neighbourhood is known for its beautiful and historic homes, offering a unique ambiance and plenty of character. The quiet streets and tree-lined avenues make it a perfect place for kids to play and ride their bikes safely.

5. Thornhill

Thornhill, which straddles the border of Vaughan and Markham, is a diverse and vibrant neighbourhood that truly has everything to offer. With a wide range of housing options and a strong sense of community, Thornhill has long been one of the GTA’s top destinations for families. Similar to Kleinburg, this neighbourhood was also once an independent village, however, it certainly has more of a big-suburb feel today. 

As a long-standing family-oriented community, Thornhill offers excellent educational options, including numerous public and private schools that cater to a diverse range of education styles. 

One local highlight is the annual Thornhill Village Festival, which celebrates the neighbourhood’s vibrant multicultural spirit with music, food, and cultural performances. This event is always a hit with families.

The month of November brings about an extra opportunity to say Thank You for being a valuable part of our business. As most begin to prepare for the Holiday season, plan get-togethers and the like, it’s easy to become wrapped up in all that we have to do to ensure a fun, joyful time for all we are responsible for and overlook all that we have to be thankful for. Gratitude though is an attitude that is contagious!

Unfortunately, many homeowners are desperate to exit their current home. Actually, loathing this time of year as it adds to the frustration of not being settled for the Holiday’s. You may know someone or a family that fits this description.
