“We connected with Tej Thakor through social media on Instagram and reached out to him for short-term accommodation as we were coming from Ahmedabad. We only needed a place for two weeks, and Tej went above and beyond to help us.
He arranged a condo through his client for our short stay, and it was a really great experience. We truly appreciate his support and exceptional service.
Thank you, Tej, for your help, and a big thanks to your client as well for allowing us to stay in the condo for two weeks. Highly recommended!”

Tej and his team sold our home in Ajax, and we were extremely happy with the entire process. His comprehensive marketing strategy stood out—professional staging, high-quality photography, online and social media marketing, engaging reels, open houses, and a well-planned offer presentation date and time.
Tej’s negotiation and presentation skills truly helped maximize our home’s value and “SOLD” board in record 10 days time. On offer day, he personally sat with us and reviewed each offer in detail, clearly explaining the strengths of every option. He is transparent, honest, and professional, which gave us complete confidence throughout the process.

As first-time home buyers, we had so many questions and doubts, but Tej and Usha were always available—no matter the time—to guide us. Their showing system was incredibly well-organized, making it easy for us to explore multiple properties without feeling rushed or confused. They took the time to truly understand what we were looking for and never pushed us into making quick decisions.
What really stood out was their deep knowledge of the market. They explained every detail—from pricing trends to neighborhood insights—in a way that was easy to understand. It gave us confidence that we were making the right decision.
Thanks to their dedication, patience, and expertise, we were able to find and purchase our dream home in Toronto. This wasn’t just a transaction for them—they genuinely cared about helping us start a new chapter in our lives.

“We recently sold both our homes in Brampton and Barrie with the help of Usha Parmar and Tej Thakor, and honestly, it was a great experience from start to finish.
From the very first meeting, they gave us a clear understanding of the market and realistic expectations. Their property evaluation was spot on, and they guided us through staging and marketing in a very professional way. The exposure they created brought serious buyers, even in a slow market.
What really stood out was their negotiation skills. They handled everything with confidence and kept us updated at every step, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free.
Selling two homes at the same time is never easy, but with Tej and Usha, it felt well managed. We are very happy with the results and truly appreciate their support.
Highly recommend them to anyone thinking of selling!”
FAQs — Oakville Real Estate
Real answers about buying and selling in Oakville.
What is the average home price in Oakville?
Oakville is one of the more premium GTA markets. Detached homes typically range from $1.5M to $4M+, with luxury waterfront and large-lot properties in Eastlake, Morrison, and Old Oakville sometimes exceeding $5M. Townhomes generally trade $900K–$1.5M. Condos in downtown Oakville and River Oaks range $650K–$1.2M.
Why do families move to Oakville?
Oakville draws families for its combination of top-tier Halton District schools (Iroquois Ridge, White Oaks, Abbey Park are commonly cited), waterfront and trails, vibrant downtown, and proximity to both Toronto (35 min) and Mississauga. The town has invested heavily in parks, community centres, and the public library system — making it consistently appear on Maclean’s and MoneySense’s top-cities-to-live lists.
What are property taxes in Oakville?
Oakville’s residential property tax rate is approximately 0.74% of assessed value (2024 rate) — one of the lowest in the GTA. On a $1.5M home, that’s roughly $11,100/year. Bills come from the Town of Oakville and include town, Halton Region, and education levies.
How much is land transfer tax in Oakville?
Oakville buyers pay only the provincial Ontario Land Transfer Tax — not the Toronto MLTT. On a $1.5M Oakville home, the LTT is approximately $26,475. First-time buyer rebate up to $4,000 applies. Use the calculator on this site for your exact number.
Is the Oakville housing market competitive?
Oakville sees consistent demand from local move-up buyers and transplants from Toronto/Mississauga. Premium school districts, lake-adjacent streets, and the GO line corridor see the most competition — multiple-offer scenarios are common in spring on well-priced properties. Lower-demand pockets and luxury price points often have more negotiation room. I help buyers price strategy properly for the specific micro-market.
