We buy houses · Etobicoke, Ontario
Sell your Etobicoke house as-is, for cash
Etobicoke's bungalow belt is some of the most sought-after redevelopment land in Toronto — which gives sellers here an option most of the GTA doesn't have.
What we buy in Etobicoke
The heart of what we buy here is the post-war bungalow: Alderwood, Long Branch, Mimico, New Toronto, Eatonville, Richview and Rexdale are full of 1940s–60s houses on wide lots, many held by the same family for fifty years. Some are worth more as houses; an increasing number are worth more as land. Toronto's move to allow multiplexes across residential neighbourhoods means a tired bungalow on a good lot can carry serious builder value even when the house itself is done — and we evaluate both numbers when we make an offer.
The Toronto tax detail that matters
Etobicoke is part of the City of Toronto, so buyers here pay the municipal land transfer tax on top of Ontario's — roughly doubling closing tax costs versus Mississauga or Brampton. That cost lands on us as the buyer, not on you, but it's part of why pricing in Etobicoke is calculated differently than across the border in Peel, and we'll show you that math openly. Sellers should also be aware of Toronto's vacant home tax declaration if the property has been sitting empty — something we routinely deal with on estates.
Estates and long-held homes
A large share of our Etobicoke purchases are estate sales: the family home, full of contents, needing probate before anything can close. We buy with the contents in place, work around the probate timeline, and handle the vacant-property logistics in between. Our inherited-house guide walks through the whole sequence.
Common questions in Etobicoke
Do you pay more for lots with redevelopment potential?
When the land value supports it, yes. We run two numbers on every Etobicoke bungalow — renovate value and redevelopment value — and our offer reflects the higher of what the property genuinely supports.
Do you buy houses that have been vacant?
Yes. Vacant estates are common here — we handle the Toronto vacant home tax declaration questions, insurance realities, and contents removal as part of the purchase.
Does Toronto's municipal land transfer tax cost me anything as the seller?
No — land transfer taxes are paid by the buyer. It affects how buyers calculate offers in Etobicoke, but it isn't a cost you pay on your side of the sale.
General information only — not legal, tax, or financial advice. Every sale should be reviewed by your own lawyer, and we insist on that as part of ours.
