New Homes for Sale in York Region: 2026–2027 Buyer’s Guide

York Region stretching from Markham/Richmond Hill/Vaughan all the way to King City to the west and Stouffville to the east, is a highly desirable region to live in. Toronto area buyers in particular recognize the high quality of life here, and thus bid up the prices of homes.

Having lived here for 20 years, I can personally attest to the high quality of life. However, as you’ll read below there’s plenty to research before you commit to buying a new home in this area.  Resale home prices are high, and you can expect new home prices to be as well. In this guide, you’ll find most of the new home developments, while many new ones, particularly condos and apartment developments are appearing more frequently. See the new home construction location map below.

NEWMARKET / AURORA / RICHMOND HILL

Builder communities, current marketing status, prices where published, demand drivers, and a practical checklist for buying new construction. Research checked November 10, 2026.

At a glance: what is actually available?

This guide distinguishes active builder sales programs from developments accepting registrations or preparing future releases. “Now selling” refers to a builder or sales-directory marketing status—not a promise that a particular plan or lot is available today. This page is a starting point for your home buying journey and I’ll add developments as they’re announced so you get a jump on other buyers. Starting prices may depend on model, inventory, incentives, and rebate eligibility.

Category	Communities to start with	Buyer takeaway
Now selling / remaining inventory	Esprit, Andrin Glenway Townhomes, Kingsley Square; Avella, Montara, Bayview Trail, Allegro; Jefferson Reserve, BOND, Townsquare and others	Request the latest price list, lot availability and closing date.
Coming soon / registration	Lakeview Glenway detached homes; The Inclusive Newmarket; Tyler Towns; selected future releases	Join builder lists; do not treat proposed homes as already for sale.
Not current inventory	Greenpark Legacy Hill and completed or sold-out phases	Search resale listings if you want that neighbourhood.

 

York Region Housing Demand and Prices

I buying a home north of the GTA a good idea? It’s a question tens of thousands of prospective buyers have investigated and with the population rising as fast as it has, you know what conclusion they came to. It’s poised for more growth.

York Region continues to attract households seeking family-sized homes, employment access, GO Transit and Highway 404 connections, neighbourhood amenities, schools, and proximity to the Oak Ridges Moraine. The region reports more than 1.3 million residents and is planning infrastructure to support substantial population and housing growth through 2051. Long-run housing needs, however, do not guarantee short-run price increases.

October 2026 resale-market figures show a materially softer market than the pandemic peak. These are MLS resale results across all home types—not prices of brand-new builder units:

Market	Average resale sold price	MLS HPI benchmark	Benchmark change (y/y)
Newmarket	$959,094	$960,700	−7.8%
Aurora	$1,170,302	$1,096,900	−7.4%
Richmond Hill	$1,193,772	$1,145,900	−7.3%
York Region	$1,142,789	$1,071,700	−6.8%

 

The difference matters: average sale price shifts with the mix of properties sold, while the MLS Home Price Index tracks a benchmark home. Stronger buyer choice in the resale market can increase pressure on builders to offer competitive specifications, deposits, closing flexibility or incentives.

What Creates demand here in York Region —and what constrains it?

• Accessibility: Highway 404, GO services, local transit and commuting options to GTA job centres.
• Family space: detached homes, larger towns, parks, recreation facilities and established neighbourhoods.
• Scarcity: serviced land, water and wastewater infrastructure, planning limitations and construction costs.
• Affordability: borrowing costs, household confidence and the alternative of an existing resale home.
• Local differences: ravine lots, lot frontage, walkout basements and school catchments can change pricing significantly.

Let’s not kid ourselves that a good portion of demand comes from buyers in Toronto who are all too eager to sell their house in Toronto. They get a very good price from that sale and arrive in Richmond Hill, Newmarket or Stouffville to find an affordable home for them. These communities are safe for children to roam around and grow up in too.

York Region reduced its residential development-charge rates under its May 2026 bylaw update, part of an effort to support new supply; whether that translates into lower buyer prices depends on builders, markets and project economics.

New Homes in Newmarket

Newmarket is definitely in the spotlight. The old Glenway Golf Course grounds were converted into a substantial new home development that has spawned hundreds of high quality homes.  Newmarket offers several quite different choices: detached-home releases around Glenway, townhomes near Davis Drive and Bathurst Street, and condominium inventory along the Davis Drive corridor. The town’s retail, services, transit and recreation make it particularly interesting for households seeking convenience without moving farther north.

Development / builder	Home types	Buyer-facing status / pricing
Esprit — Sundial Homes	Urban and brownstone towns; semi-detached and detached designs	Builder community with current sales marketing; ask for exact inventory and price list.
Glenway Townhomes — Andrin Homes	Townhomes, including live/work collections	Builder lists Glenway Townhomes and live/work Glenway Urban Towns as now selling.
Kingsley Square — Briarwood	Condominium suites	Limited remaining inventory; official site advertises 2-bedroom condos from the $800,000s.

 

New Addition: Lakeview Homes at Glenway

Lakeview’s Glenway Phase 6 features detached bungalows and two-storey homes. The builder publishes ten 50-foot detached designs ranging from approximately 1,585 sq. ft. (Montgomery) to 3,685 sq. ft. (Summerhill), including models with loft options. The project is near Crossland Gate, Davis Drive, Yonge Street amenities and local transport connections.

Availability: Lakeview’s community navigation still categorizes Glenway as COMING SOON. It publishes floor plans and offers private sales appointments, but no confirmed public lot-by-lot price list. Buyers should register and ask when the next release opens. Official community: Lakeview Homes — Glenway

New Newmarket — Spotlight Development

At 1038 Jacarandah Drive, Spotlight proposes a three-storey development with 23 semi-detached and detached townhouses. The developer identifies a goal of 70% affordable or attainable units and promotes three down-payment assistance programs. Those are developer-stated program features, not a guarantee of eligibility or a published unit price.

Availability: REGISTRATION OPEN. No live unit-specific inventory or builder price list could be independently confirmed. Buyers should ask for eligibility criteria, resale restrictions, assistance repayment conditions, occupancy timing and complete closing costs. Official project: Spotlight — The Inclusive Newmarket

Other Newmarket Releases to Watch

The 11 on Charles (R.A.M. Contracting and Matera Developments) has been promoted through registration-stage listings. Check builder sales status rather than assuming that an advertised starting price corresponds to an immediately available home.

New Construction Homes in Aurora

Aurora’s new-home market spans relatively attainable townhome collections along the Leslie Street corridor, premium detached communities and estate homes. Comparing Aurora projects requires careful attention to lot size, ownership structure and the true price after promotions.

Development / builder	Home types	Latest builder-marketed information
Avella — Treasure Hill	Two-car-garage family homes	Builder lists NOW SELLING; advertised from $799,900*.
Montara — Treasure Hill	Two-car-garage homes / townhome collection	FINAL RELEASE advertised from $799,900*.
Bayview Trail — Treasure Hill	3-car-garage estate houses and bungalows	NOW SELLING; from $1.8 million.
Shining Hill / Gates of St. Anne’s — CountryWide	40-, 45-, 50-foot and custom detached homes	Detailed plans published; confirm exact lots and prices with sales office.
Allegro — Geranium Homes	Luxury detached executive homes	Builder lists four “now available” properties; lot and price confirmation required.
Monteverdi Estates — Ambria Homes	Estate detached homes	Previously marketed luxury collection; confirm current inventory and pricing directly.
Aurora Trails — Paradise Developments	Townhomes and detached homes	Release status varies across marketing; check current builder list.

 

*Starting prices are builder advertisements, may reflect incentives or rebate assumptions, and are not quotes for an available individual house.
<h4″>Which Aurora Location Fits which Buyer?

Avella and Montara invite comparisons among buyers interested in contemporary family homes with eastern Aurora access to Highway 404. Bayview Trail caters to buyers seeking larger garage and estate-lot designs near Vandorf Sideroad. Allegro and Monteverdi serve the upper end, where finish packages and specific lot characteristics often matter more than headline asking prices. Shining Hill is a large, multi-release development and should be investigated at the builder-collection level.

New Home Current/Proposed Developments in Richmond Hill

Richmond Hill offers one of the broadest mixes of housing types in northern York Region: stacked and traditional towns, infill freeholds, larger detached properties and new condominium towers. The exact developer release matters because similarly named master-planned communities can have sold-out and actively selling phases at the same time.

Development / builder	Home types	Builder / current listing status
Jefferson Reserve — CountryWide Homes	Detached homes; semis also in launch marketing	NEW ADDITION. Livabl lists “Selling,” with detached floor plans from $1,345,990 to $1,450,990; reconfirm builder pricing.
BOND — Sunny Communities	Stacked, traditional and back-to-back townhomes	NOW SELLING; builder advertises from $699,900*.
Townsquare — OPUS Homes	Back-to-back and live/work towns	A few lots remain; quick closings.
Rosaleen at Auden Grand — Sunny	21-foot, 3-storey townhomes	NOW SELLING; request release price list.
Oxford Estates — Sunny	Luxury detached homes	Builder categorizes as NOW SELLING; verify lot and delivery.
Bayview Heights — Royal Pine	Traditional freehold townhomes	Preview openings advertised; 1,685–1,820 sq. ft. designs.
The New OakRidge — Royal Pine and others	Detached homes and master-plan collections	Royal Pine lists its detached collection as NOW SELLING.
Skylands — Times Group	Low-rise townhomes	Times Group lists NOW SELLING.
Rise & Rose / Burnet — Greenpark	Condominium apartments	Burnet Tower NOW SELLING; Evelyn tower has sold out.
Richmond Green — Conservatory Group	Parks-side townhomes and detached homes	Builder markets the community and maintains sales registration.

 

New addition: CountryWide Homes at Jefferson Reserve

Jefferson Reserve is located near 363 Jefferson Sideroad in Richmond Hill’s Jefferson neighbourhood. It is a newly launched low-rise collection set near established parks, trails and local amenities. CountryWide’s own project page is live, but some of its pricing and site-plan details are dynamically loaded and not visible in ordinary text retrieval.

As of the November 2026 check, Livabl lists the detached-home sales program as “Selling,” with seven floor plans and available-plan asking prices of approximately $1,345,990–$1,450,990. Another brokerage describes semis and detached homes in the launch offering and quotes a lower promotional starting price. Therefore, do not publish the $1.17 million promotion as a verified current available detached lot without obtaining the builder’s latest release sheet.

A buyer should request: (1) exact model and lot, (2) gross purchase price, (3) HST-rebate conditions, (4) upgrades and closing adjustments, (5) deposit schedule and (6) tentative closing date. Official project: CountryWide — Jefferson Reserve

Essentials to Check Before Buying a New Home In York Region

• Ask for a lot-specific price, complete deposit schedule, model/elevation, site plan and written included-features list.
• Confirm whether the advertised price assumes HST rebates assigned to the builder; understand whether your purchase actually qualifies.
• Identify freehold, condominium or parcel-of-tied-land (POTL) ownership and any recurring common-element fees.
• Review development-charge caps, utility connection charges, lot premiums, levies, and all other closing adjustments.
• Clarify occupancy and closing dates, delay provisions, assignment terms, and what happens if a mortgage appraisal is low.
• For pre-construction homes, check which plans and finishes are contractual rather than illustrative.
• Check the builder on the HCRA Ontario Builder Directory, the applicable new-home warranty enrolment and Tarion information.
• Have an Ontario real estate lawyer review the agreement and rebate clauses before signing.

HST Relief for New Home Buyers?

Eligible buyers of qualifying new or substantially renovated homes may benefit from Ontario’s temporary expanded HST relief. The provincial framework provides relief equivalent to the full 13% HST on qualifying new homes priced up to $1 million, with combined relief up to $130,000. For homes above $1 million, relief can vary by value and eligibility. The principal builder-purchase window is generally April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027. Buyers must establish eligibility; a “net of rebates” advertised price can be misleading if the purchaser is not entitled to the rebate.

Tarion purchase registration

Under the rule effective April 1, 2026, buyers of new freehold homes must register their purchase with Tarion within 45 days of signing. Tarion has described a transition period affecting deposit-coverage implementation through January 1, 2027. Review current Tarion guidance and confirm registration and warranty obligations with your lawyer.

7 Questions New Home Buyers Frequently Ask

Where should I start if my budget is under $1 million?

• Compare currently advertised townhome collections at BOND, Montara and Avella, then ask for the complete, rebate-qualified price list. Not every model or available lot will match the headline price.

Which development has 50-foot detached lots in Newmarket?

• Lakeview’s Glenway Phase 6 markets a 50-foot detached collection, with models from 1,585 to 3,685 sq. ft. The builder still labels it coming soon.

Is Jefferson Reserve selling now?

• Livabl describes its Richmond Hill detached-home program as selling as of early November 2026. The definitive price, lot list and availability must come from CountryWide.

Does The Inclusive Newmarket have homes to purchase today?

• Spotlight offers project registration and describes 23 townhouses and assistance programs, but unit-specific public pricing and current unit inventory could not be confirmed.

Can I get a quick-closing new home?

• Some builders promote remaining inventory, such as OPUS Townsquare and completed-home opportunities at Allegro. Ask about the specific closing date and whether the home is actually built.

Will York Region Home Prices keep falling?

• The October 2026 resale benchmark is lower than a year earlier. Future builder pricing depends on rates, competition, costs, inventory and buyer demand; no specific price path is guaranteed.
