What it costs to buy 268 Fincham Avenue
At the asking price of $1,588,000, 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 | $1,588,000 |
|---|---|
| Ontario land transfer tax | $28,235 |
| First-time buyer refund, if you qualify | up to $4,000 |
| Minimum down payment | $317,600 |
The down payment figure is the federal minimum: 20 percent of the price, which applies at $1.5 million or more. 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) | $5,839 a year, about $487 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.
How the asking price compares

What to check before you make an offer
- Book a home inspection. An inspection looks at the parts of a house you cannot judge at a showing. Our guide explains what a home inspection covers and misses.
- Ask for the survey. The listing gives the lot as 49.21 by 111.78 feet. If the seller has a survey, check the lot lines, fences and any easements against it.
- Confirm what stays. Have the appliances, fixtures and any rented equipment written into the offer.
- Confirm the parking. The listing shows 4 parking spaces.
- Get your financing in writing. A lender looks at the property tax as well as the price.
- See it in person. photos do not show noise, light at different hours or the condition of the roof, the basement and the yard.

Questions about Markham Village
How is Markham Village different from Unionville?
Both have a historic main street, but Markham Village is less of a tourist destination and the housing stock is more varied. Lots are often deeper, detached homes have traded lower and the streets are quieter on weekends. From January to March 2026 the detached median was about $1,265,000 in Markham Village and about $1,654,000 in Unionville (TRREB).
Are the lots really bigger here?
In much of the older core, yes. Frontages and depths from the 1960s and 1970s tend to beat what newer north Markham subdivisions offer, which is why rebuilders keep looking here.
What should I watch for in the older houses?
Knob and tube wiring, galvanised or older copper plumbing, aluminium wiring in some 1970s builds and original windows. None of these are deal breakers but they belong in your budget.
Is it walkable to the GO station?
From a good portion of the older core, yes. From the newer pockets north and east it is a drive or a bus. Always check the specific address.
Is this a good area for a first purchase?
It can be. Townhomes and smaller bungalows are the usual starting point and the location is central. From January to March 2026 the condo townhouse median here was about $749,000 on 4 sales (TRREB), so check current listings rather than relying on a small sample.
