Floor area

Thinking of buying a house?

This is a great resource to understand how floor area is measured in Ontario. 

According to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC), floor area (aka square footage) is based on exterior measurements and excludes the attached garage and basement.

Understanding square footage is important when comparing houses. 

It can give you a general idea of the size of the house, but it is not always an accurate representation of the usable space.

Let me know if you have any questions!

ACCESSIBLE TRICK-OR-TREATING

In 2018, RE/MAX partnered with Treat Accessibly to help drive household awareness to make trick-or-treating possible for all children and youth with disabilities by removing these barriers that can make getting Halloween candy difficult.

This movement encourages homeowners, to make a simple change such as handing out Halloween candy at the end of the driveway and displaying a Treat Accessibly lawn sign to alert your community that Halloween candy will be distributed from an accessible location.

If you would like to take part in Accessible Trick-or-Treating this Halloween, please visit anyone of our locations to provide you and your clients with a FREE lawn sign.

September 2023 HOUSING STATS

Increased interest rates continue to affect the market. Average Selling price is up just 3% over last year, and sales volume is down by 7%. 



AUGUST HOUSING STATS

"As interest rates continued to increase in May, after a pause in the winter and early spring, many buyers have had to adjust their offers in order to qualify for higher monthly payments.

Not all sellers have chosen to take lower than expected selling prices, resulting in fewer sales.”


~ TRREB Chief Market Analyst Jason Mercer.
