What it costs to buy 35 Empress Avenue 1508
At the asking price of $580,000, a buyer in the City of Toronto pays two land transfer taxes on closing. North York is inside the City, so both apply.
| Asking price | $580,000 |
|---|---|
| Ontario land transfer tax | $8,075 |
| Toronto municipal land transfer tax | $8,075 |
| Both taxes | $16,150 |
| First-time buyer relief, if you qualify | up to $8,475 |
| Minimum down payment | $33,000 |
The down payment figure is the federal minimum: 5 percent of the first $500,000 and 10 percent of the rest. A lender can ask for more. These figures use the asking price, so they change if you pay more or less. Legal fees, title insurance and adjustments are extra: ask your lawyer for a written quote. You can change the price in our land transfer tax calculator and our mortgage calculator.
What it costs to own each month
| Maintenance fee | $769 a month |
|---|---|
| Property tax (2026) | $2,931 a year, about $244 a month |
| Fee and tax together | about $1,014 a month |
The listing says the maintenance fee includes upkeep of the common elements, building insurance, parking and water. That is before a mortgage payment, home insurance and any utilities the fee does not cover. Maintenance fees are set each year in the condo corporation's budget and can go up. The status certificate shows the current fee, the budget behind it and the reserve fund.
How the asking price compares
TRREB recorded 174 condo apartment sales in district Toronto C14 in Q2 2026, at a median of $570,000 and an average of $597,444. This unit is listed at $580,000, which is $10,000 above that median. In August 2026 the district had 52 condo apartment sales at a median of $532,500.
A district median covers every size and age of unit, so it is a reference point and not a valuation of this home. Size, floor, parking, condition and the building's finances all move the price. Our North York condo prices page has the figures for every district.
What to check before you make an offer
- Order the status certificate. A condo corporation must provide it within 10 days of a request and can charge up to $100. It shows the fee for this unit, any arrears, the budget, the reserve fund balance and any special assessment or lawsuit the corporation knows about.
- Have a lawyer read it. The certificate comes with the declaration, by-laws and rules. Ask what they say about pets, renting the unit and renovations. The listing gives pets as "Yes-with Restrictions".
- Confirm the parking and locker. The listing shows 1 parking space and a locker. Ask whether each is owned, exclusive use or rented, and get the unit numbers.
- Check the reserve fund study. Ask when the last study was done and whether it calls for higher contributions.
- Get your financing in writing. A lender looks at the fee and the property tax as well as the price.
- See it in person. photos do not show noise, light at different hours or the state of the hallways and elevators.
