Before You Buy: Rules to Know

Some rules depend on your status in Canada. Confirm your situation with a lawyer before you commit.

  • The federal Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act has been extended to January 1, 2027, with exceptions for some work-permit holders, students and others.
  • Ontario's Non-Resident Speculation Tax applies to some buyers who are not citizens or permanent residents.
  • Canadian lenders often need proof of income, employment and credit history, which can take longer for newcomers.

Where Relocating Buyers Often Look

Every family weighs things differently, so the team starts with your priorities. Buyers relocating for work often compare transit access, highway access and nearby amenities.

Questions Clients Ask

Can a newcomer buy a home in Markham?
Many can. Permanent residents and citizens can buy freely. Some temporary residents qualify for exceptions to the federal non-Canadian purchase ban. Confirm your eligibility with a real estate lawyer before making an offer.
Can I buy a Markham home without seeing it in person?
Yes. Many relocating buyers use live video tours, 3D tours and digital signing. The team recommends a condition period so an inspection can happen before your offer becomes firm.
Should I rent before buying in Markham?
Renting for a few months can help you learn neighbourhoods and commutes before committing. It makes most sense when your job location or school plans are still being finalized.
