What it costs to buy 89 Main Street S
At the asking price of $1,299,900, a buyer in Markham pays Ontario land transfer tax on closing. The City of Toronto is the Ontario municipality that charges a municipal land transfer tax of its own, so there is no second tax here.
| Asking price | $1,299,900 |
|---|---|
| Ontario land transfer tax | $22,473 |
| First-time buyer refund, if you qualify | up to $4,000 |
| Minimum down payment | $104,990 |
The down payment figure is the federal minimum: 5 percent of the first $500,000 and 10 percent of the rest. A lender can ask for more. These figures use the asking price, so they change if you pay more or less. The tax is worked out at the published rates for a home with one or two single family residences and your lawyer confirms the final amount. Legal fees, title insurance and adjustments are extra: our closing costs guide lists them. This is general information, not legal or tax advice. Confirm the figures with a lawyer or accountant. You can change the price in our land transfer tax calculator and our mortgage calculator.
What it costs to own each month
| Property tax (2025) | $6,097 a year, about $508 a month |

That is before a mortgage payment, home insurance and utilities. These are the figures on the listing, so check the current tax bill before you rely on them.

- Confirm the parking. The listing shows 5 parking spaces.
- Get your financing in writing. A lender looks at the property tax as well as the price.
