Buying a Home in Newmarket, Ontario

Before touring homes in Newmarket, set a comfortable monthly budget and choose two or three areas to visit. Compare the property itself with the trips you’ll make every week, including school, work, shopping, and recreation.

Compare the right homes for your budget

• Detached homes: Compare lot size, parking, and the age of the roof, windows, and major systems.
• Freehold townhomes: Ask about any shared access, common-element fees, and maintenance responsibilities.
• Condo apartments and townhomes: Review monthly fees, what they cover, and the condo’s status certificate with your lawyer.

Allow room for closing costs, taxes, utilities, and maintenance alongside your mortgage payment. Review financing and closing costs with your mortgage professional and lawyer before making an offer.

Check the address before you commit

Visit at different times of day. Try your commute during normal travel hours and confirm school boundaries directly with the school board using the exact address. The Newmarket neighbourhood guides can help you decide where to start.

When you’re ready to look at specific properties, use the Newmarket homes-for-sale guide to start your search or ask Eddie for a shortlist based on your budget and timing.
