The Fischers found that they were spending more time in California and have recently placed their Oakville home on the market with Alex Irish & Associates Canada. An extraordinary home, it is set in a signature lakeside enclave in sought after southeast Oakville and features over 11,000 square feet of living space. This 7 bedroom/10 bathroom home evokes the feeling of a country estate with its twin-gated entrances and forest-like setting. The teams at Gren Weis Architect, Lakehurst Construction, Rodney Deeprose and Aldershot Landscaping worked diligently to ensure that all workmanship met the highest construction standards, something that is quite apparent from the moment you cross the threshold.
The graceful flow of the home is perfect for both entertaining on a grand scale or hosting an intimate gathering. High end architectural details, too numerous to list, capture your attention. From the rift cut white oak flooring and custom ceiling detail throughout to the stainless fireplace with Carrara marble, each room displays the homeowner’s remarkable attentiveness to detail.
The oversize Chef’s kitchen features twin 10’ islands, a prep counter, top of the line stainless steel appliances and Parker House Custom cabinetry, providing the perfect backdrop for any culinary adventure! A second kitchen and pantry are very useful when preparing or catering a large group. A third kitchen is located in the pool house/cabana which is convenient for preparing poolside luncheon or cocktails.
On the upper level, the Master Bedroom offers his and hers spa inspired ensuites and dressing rooms. It also features a 16’ sliding door with walk out to the 500 square foot, light-filled sun deck overlooking the spectacular back garden, pool and the woods. Once again, no detail has been overlooked, imparting a feeling of classic splendor. The additional four bedrooms on this level each have their own ensuite. One of two laundry rooms is also on this floor.
Throughout the home, luxury amenities abound and include a state of the art wine cellar featured in Forbes magazine, a gymnasium with a ballet barre and wired to accommodate hot yoga, a games room/prestigious bar, a home theatre, 4 car garage, three unique coffee bars and an industry award winning home automation system throughout the entire home.
The outdoors beckon with the stylish flagstone porch and covered sitting area with exterior fireplace plus a built-in barbecue ideal for alfresco dining. Pathways and stepping stones lead to the heated pool creating a resort-like ambience where one can relax with the soothing sound of the fountains in the background. The firepit is a welcome addition to gather around at any time of year. The poolside cabana is located nearby and features a bedroom/sitting room, bathroom and kitchen. The cabana is designed to convert to a summer guest house. It all adds up to an idyllic setting for whiling away an afternoon.
Toronto is within easy commuting distance either by car or GO transit. Several excellent private and public schools, including Appleby College and St. Mildred’s are within close proximity. For further details please visit www.https://reganirish.com.

August 2025 GTA Real Estate Market Update | Regan Irish
The August 2025 GTA Real Estate Market Update reflects renewed momentum and affordability in Toronto, Oakville, Mississauga, Burlington, and Muskoka. Thanks to steady interest rates and appealing home prices, July proved surprisingly dynamic. Let’s dig into the numbers and what they mean for you.
Interest Rates Remain Stable — Affordability Fueling Activity
In July 2025, the Bank of Canada maintained its key rate at 2.75%, its third consecutive pause. With lower borrowing costs now more accessible, affordability is encouraging a wave of renewed buyer activity.
GTA Market Overview: Sales Surge, Prices Slightly Dip
- Home Sales: 6,100+ transactions region-wide, marking a 10.9% increase YoY and the strongest July since 2021.
- Month-over-Month: Seasonally adjusted sales rose 13% from June to approximately 5,744 units, the biggest monthly gain in nine months.
- New Listings: Up 5.7% YoY, totaling 17,613 new offers.
- Price Trends:
- The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) Composite Benchmark fell 5.4% YoY.
- The average GTA selling price dropped 5.5% YoY to around $1,051,719.
- Word on the street indicates the HPI drifted slightly lower—about $979,000, down 0.2% from June.
What It Adds Up To: Buyers are back in force—sales are outpacing new listings while prices softened, creating renewed market opportunities.
City Highlights
Toronto
A more balanced landscape—but some segments remain soft. Condos and detached homes see inventory rising; semis are steadier.
Oakville, Mississauga, Burlington & Muskoka
While TRREB doesn’t break down by city in these reports, regional trends suggest:
- Mississauga & Burlington: Strong rise in listings and dipping average prices give buyers leverage.
- Oakville: Stability in demand for luxury keeps discounts modest.
- Muskoka: Continued strong interest in sub-$2M waterfront properties should benefit from broader GTA momentum.
What This Means for You
- For Buyers:
Renewed affordability, rising inventory, and favorable interest rates make August a prime time to move. - For Sellers:
A more balanced market—strategic pricing and quick response will be key to success. - For Investors & Cottage Buyers:
Strong July sales in the GTA point to increasing investor interest; Muskoka remains a high-value lifestyle and investment destination.
