Newmarket market snapshot
Newmarket's average price was about $967,000 in July, down 1.7% from a year ago. Detached homes, which make up most of the market, led the dip at about $1.10 million, and condo apartments softened more steeply. A typical home sold in under four weeks, faster than last year, so sellers who price realistically are still finding buyers.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. In Ontario, only a licensed lawyer can search title and register the transfer and mortgage, so every Newmarket purchase or sale needs one. Ownright handles the whole closing online, from reviewing your agreement to searching title, holding your funds, and registering the deal.
On a typical Newmarket home around $967,000, Ontario land transfer tax is about $15,815, or roughly $11,815 for first-time buyers after the $4,000 rebate. Newmarket has no municipal land transfer tax, so you pay the provincial tax only, unlike Toronto where a second tax nearly doubles it.
The Main Street area is a Heritage Conservation District, one of Ontario's best-preserved 19th-century downtowns. Heritage designation is registered on title and limits exterior changes, additions, and demolition without permits. Ownright checks for designation before you're firm, so the restrictions don't surprise you after closing.
Beyond the purchase price, budget for land transfer tax (about $15,815 on a $967,000 home), your legal fees and disbursements, title insurance, and adjustments for any prepaid property taxes or utilities. Ownright quotes a flat legal fee up front, so you know your closing costs before you commit.
Yes. Even a gift or transfer between family members has to be drafted and registered by a lawyer, and land transfer tax and title issues can still apply. Ownright handles Newmarket title transfers between family, spouses, or into a trust, and flags any tax before you sign.
Yes. Ownright closes Newmarket deals fully online, with electronic signing and remote identity verification, so you never have to visit an office in person. That makes it easy for out-of-town buyers, GTA commuters, and sellers to close on a Newmarket property.
