Stonehaven-Wyndham

Stonehaven-Wyndham is the most expensive neighbourhood in Newmarket, and it earns it. It sits in the southeast corner of the city, bordered by Highway 404 to the east, Bayview Avenue to the west, Mulock Drive to the north, and St. Johns Sideroad to the south. There are really three sub-communities here, each with a different personality. Stonehaven is the 1990s section, hilly streets with cast-iron lamps and 3,000 to 3,500-square-foot homes in Tudor, Colonial, Georgian and Victorian Revival styles, many of them named after racehorses on the original subdivision plans. Wyndham is slightly older and slightly smaller in scale. And Copper Hills is the newest section, built out in the 2010s with large French Provincial luxury homes that are the most expensive detached product in Newmarket.

The Magna Centre is the anchor recreation facility here, with four ice pads, three pools and a fitness centre. Art Ferguson Park and Rene Bray Park give you green space. Ranch Fresh Supermarket handles the grocery run. And the school catchment is the best in town: Newmarket High School at 8.5 out of 10 on Fraser, ranked 48th in Ontario, and Sacred Heart Catholic High School at 6.8.

In Q1 2026, Stonehaven-Wyndham posted 20 sales at an average of $1,299,170 and a median of $1,341,250. Detached homes averaged $1,485,000 with a median of $1,480,000 across 14 sales. The semi-detached segment went quiet, with just two sales — too few for TRREB to publish pricing. Condo townhouses averaged $966,000 across three sales at a 75% sales-to-new-listings ratio. So there are three distinct price tiers operating in the same neighbourhood, even when one of them barely trades in a given quarter.

All prices are TRREB Q1 2026 averages

What to consider: The detached segment, averaging $1,485,000 with a 26% sales-to-new-listings ratio, currently favours buyers, offering ample inventory and negotiation opportunities. The semi-detached market went almost silent in Q1, with just two sales — thin enough that buyers in the $850,000 to $900,000 range should watch new listings closely rather than lean on quarterly stats. The condo townhouse segment, averaging $966,000 with 75% absorption, is competitive but less intense.

Inside Tip: Copper Hills is the newest and most exclusive section of Stonehaven-Wyndham, featuring French Provincial architecture and the largest lots. Many out-of-town buyers are unaware of this area. If you are seeking luxury in Newmarket, Copper Hills represents the top of the market. However, as the homes are newer, resale values have less historical data for comparison. Price accordingly.

Armitage

Armitage is south-central Newmarket, and it's the kind of neighbourhood that doesn't announce itself. Winding streets with cast-iron lamps, 1980s and 90s brick homes, mature trees, and a quiet, established feel that hasn't changed much in thirty years. The western edge runs along Yonge Street, where you've got the commercial corridor. The eastern and southern sides back onto the Saint Andrews Valley Golf Club, a 200-acre preserve that isn't going anywhere. Bailey Ecological Park, Paul Semple Park, and the Tom Taylor Trail provide additional outdoor access.

This is a detached-dominant neighbourhood with some townhouses mixed in. The school catchment feeds Newmarket High School, an 8.5-out-of-10 Fraser-rated school and the best public secondary school in Newmarket. That combination of school quality, green space and established character is why Armitage consistently moves faster than most of Newmarket.

Q1 2026 was a small-sample quarter, with 9 sales averaging $1,027,667 and a median of $1,150,000. Detached homes averaged $1,229,000 across five sales with an 11-day DOM, 96% SP/LP and a 50% SNLR. Half of the new detached listings sold, and the ones that did were gone in under two weeks — the fastest detached market in Newmarket this quarter — though buyers who landed one negotiated about four points off asking.

All prices are TRREB Q1 2026 averages

What to consider: Nine sales in a quarter is thin data, so don’t draw sweeping conclusions from the averages. What you can say is that detached homes here sold in 11 days on average in Q1 — by far the fastest in Newmarket — even as the 96% SP/LP shows buyers carving out a little more room on price than they could in the fall. The trade-off is that the housing stock is not diverse. If you're looking for condos, townhouses, or anything under $1 million, Armitage probably isn't your neighbourhood. This is a detached market for families who can spend north of $1.1 million.

Inside Tip: The homes backing onto the Saint Andrews Valley Golf Club get the green space without the maintenance burden. That 200-acre course isn't going to be developed, so your sight lines are protected in a way that's genuinely rare in the 905. If you're choosing between two similar homes in Armitage, the one with a golf course backing will hold its premium better over time.

Glenway Estates

Glenway Estates sits in the west-central part of Newmarket, and it has the widest price range of any neighbourhood in the city. That's partly because it has the widest mix of housing. Detached homes averaged $1,168,000 in Q1 2026, while the semi and townhouse segments were too thin to report — two sales each, below TRREB’s publishing threshold. Across 2025, though, semis traded in the $800s and condo townhouses in the low $500s, so you can still enter this neighbourhood far below the detached price point. Same neighbourhood name, three completely different buyer profiles.

The landscape here still bears the contours of the old golf course that once occupied part of the area. Upper Canada Mall is nearby, the major regional shopping centre for the York Region north of Vaughan. Ray Twinney Recreation Complex, with two arenas and a pool, is right here. The Newmarket Bus Terminal serves GO Transit and York Region Transit, so if you're a transit commuter, this is one of your better options. Highway 404 and Highway 400 are both accessible, which makes Glenway one of the more connected neighbourhoods in Newmarket.

In Q1 2026, Glenway posted 11 sales at an average of $1,013,273 and a median of $1,051,000. Detached homes moved at 97% SP/LP with 60 days on market and a 26% SNLR, so there’s real inventory sitting and real negotiating room on the detached side — this is the patient buyer’s corner of Newmarket right now.

All prices are TRREB Q1 2026 averages

What to consider: The entry-level segments went quiet in Q1 2026 — no condo townhouse sales at all against nine new listings, and just two semi sales. For buyers, that means the sitting inventory is where the leverage is: a unit that has been listed for weeks with no competing bidders is exactly where a sharp offer gets taken seriously. Focus on how long a listing has been up and what comparable units sold for through 2025, and let that guide your number.

Inside Tip: The old golf course contours are still visible in the landscape, and the homes that were positioned to back onto the former fairways tend to have the most interesting lot shapes and the best rear-yard privacy. These aren't always obvious from the street, so drive the back streets and look for homes that feel like they have more breathing room than the lot size suggests. That's the former golf course footprint doing its work.

Woodland Hill

Woodland Hill sits on the west side of Newmarket, adjacent to Bristol-London, and the main thing you need to know about this neighbourhood is its location relative to Upper Canada Mall. If shopping convenience is high on your list, this is the answer. The mall is right at Yonge and Davis Drive, and the surrounding retail fills in the gaps. This is one of the most convenient neighbourhoods in Newmarket for daily errands.

But it's not just retail. There are 10 acres of preserved land with hiking trails and a water playground, giving the neighbourhood a different feel from what the proximity to shopping might suggest. Homes are primarily from the early 2000s to recent construction, with three to four bedrooms, and some come with built-in basement units. That last point matters for buyers who want a rental income component or a multi-generational living setup.
Q1 2026 saw 19 sales at an average of $1,093,805 and a median of $1,140,000. Detached homes did the heavy lifting, averaging $1,165,000 across 14 sales at 97% of list in 23 days, with semis at $914,000 across four more sales.

Overall SP/LP came in at 97% with 26 days on market. That's a solid, even market. Not frantic, not stagnant.

All prices are TRREB Q1 2026 averages

What to consider: The built-in basement unit option is a real differentiator here. Not every home has one, but those that do are popular with buyers who want a mortgage helper or space for aging parents. If that's your plan, confirm the unit is legally registered with the Town of Newmarket before you write the offer. A built-in unit that isn't registered creates liability, not income. The other factor to consider is proximity to Upper Canada Mall. That's a benefit for shopping, but it also means Davis Drive traffic, especially on weekends. The streets further from the commercial corridor are quieter.

Inside Tip: The 10-acre preserved land and trail system is a genuine hidden feature of this neighbourhood. Most buyers who haven't toured Woodland Hill don't know it's there. Walk the trails before you decide, because they completely change the feel of the neighbourhood. The homes adjacent to the preserved land trade at a slight premium and tend to hold value better.

Huron Heights-Leslie Valley

Huron Heights-Leslie Valley is in the northeast corner of Newmarket and has two distinct characters under one name. Leslie Valley is the brick detached section with front gables, traditional streetscapes, and a settled suburban feel. Huron Heights is the older section, with 1960s and 70s bungalows and Colonial Revival homes on rolling hills that sit within the East Holland River watershed. The terrain is genuinely different here from the rest of Newmarket. You can feel the elevation changes as you drive through.

Leslie Street is the main commercial corridor, with dining and shopping along the strip. The neighbourhood is close to Highway 404 and to the East Gwillimbury GO Station, which matters for commuters. Hollingsworth Arena handles the local hockey and skating. And Southlake Regional Health Centre, the major hospital for northern York Region, is adjacent. If you work at Southlake, this is the closest neighbourhood to the hospital.

Q1 2026 posted 19 sales at an average of $871,842 and a median of $891,500. Detached homes averaged $945,000 across 14 sales with 37 days on market, 98% SP/LP and a 48% SNLR. Semi-detached averaged $667,000 across five sales with a 56% SNLR — tied with Bristol-London for the tightest semi absorption in Newmarket this quarter — though those semis took 50 days to sell on average. The all-types average of 40 days on market still runs slower than most of the city.

All prices are TRREB Q1 2026 averages

What to consider: Huron Heights S.S. at 6.0 out of 10 on Fraser is the weakest secondary school in Newmarket. If schools are a priority, that's a meaningful factor. The trade-off is you're getting more house for less money than Armitage or Stonehaven-Wyndham, plus the commuter access is genuinely better. The 40-day DOM also means you have time as a buyer. You can write conditions, negotiate, and sleep on it. In a neighbourhood where the semi market absorbed 56% of its new listings in Q1, though, the semi segment specifically will keep moving faster than the headline number suggests.

Inside Tip: The bungalows in the Huron Heights section are the renovation play here. 1960s and 70s bungalows on rolling lots with the kind of square footage that lends itself to a second-storey addition or a full gut renovation. The land value is real, the lot sizes are generous, and the purchase price leaves room in the budget for a meaningful renovation. If you've got a builder lined up and a vision, this is one of the better value-add pockets in Newmarket.

Bristol-London

Bristol-London is the north end of Newmarket, with Yonge Street running along the western boundary and conservation and parkland to the east. It's one of the closest neighbourhoods to downtown Newmarket, offering walkable access to Main Street, restaurants, and cultural amenities without living in the heritage core itself.

The housing stock has a Tudor Revival character, with modest homes and two-car garages being the standard. Freshco is the main grocery store, and the Yonge Crest Centre has about 18 shops for daily errands. The outdoor access is the standout feature. Mabel Davis Conservation Area, the Nokiidaa Bike Trail, Proctor Park, Marilyn Powell Park, and Denne Bush all border or sit within the neighbourhood. If your daily life includes trail walking, cycling, or just being outside, Bristol-London has more green access per block than most of Newmarket.

Q1 2026 saw 13 sales, averaging $731,338 with a median of $740,000 — a quarter that tilted toward the neighbourhood’s more affordable stock. Detached homes averaged $887,000 across five sales with 36 days on market, 99% SP/LP and a 17% absorption rate against 29 new listings. Semi-detached averaged $676,000 across five sales, with 21 days on market, 99% SP/LP and a 56% absorption rate. The semis are doing the heavy lifting here right now.

All prices are TRREB Q1 2026 averages

What to consider: The detached segment’s 17% absorption rate is the lowest in Newmarket right now — only five of 29 new detached listings sold in Q1 — so buyers have the pick of the inventory, even though the homes that did sell went at 99% of asking. That combination means well-priced homes still move while everything else sits. The semi market is quicker: 21 days, 99% of asking, and better than half of new listings absorbed. If you’re a semi-buyer, have your financing ready. If you’re a detached buyer, you have selection and time.

Inside Tip: The Nokiidaa Bike Trail connects Bristol and London and runs all the way south. If you're a cyclist or a trail runner, the homes directly adjacent to the trail have a lifestyle advantage that's hard to replicate. Tour the trail itself before you tour homes, because the trail's proximity varies a lot from street to street, and the listings don't always make that clear.

Gorham-College Manor

Gorham-College Manor is the most architecturally diverse neighbourhood in Newmarket. Named after Eli Gorham, who built the first brick house in Newmarket, and Pickering College, the private school that's been operating here since 1909, this central-east neighbourhood has the widest range of housing stock in the city. Victorian homes, bungalows, split-levels, two-storeys, condos, townhomes, all on the same streets. Cul-de-sacs back onto ravines. The NewRoads Performing Arts Centre is here. Southlake Regional Health Centre borders the neighbourhood. Newmarket Theatre adds the cultural component.

The Pickering College campus is the anchor institution. It's a private school running JK through Grade 12, day and boarding, on a 42-acre campus. If a private school is part of your family plan, living within walking distance of a JK-to-12 campus with a boarding option is a genuine lifestyle advantage that most neighbourhoods in the GTA can't offer.

Q1 2026 posted 17 sales at an average of $1,017,324 and a median of $985,000. Detached homes averaged $1,121,000 across 12 sales with 32 days on market, 99% SP/LP, and a 46% SNLR — behind only Armitage and Huron Heights-Leslie Valley for detached absorption this quarter. Attached/row homes averaged $838,000 across three sales, giving you an entry point well below the detached line.

All prices are TRREB Q1 2026 averages

What to consider: The 46% detached SNLR remains among the highest absorption rates for detached homes in Newmarket. Inventory keeps clearing, and combined with a 99% SP/LP, this is one of the tighter detached markets in the city. If you're a detached buyer in Gorham-College Manor, get pre-approved and be ready to act. The century homes are the wildcard. They have a character that can't be replicated, but they also come with century-home issues: older foundations, older mechanicals, and potential implications for heritage designation. Get a thorough inspection and understand what you're taking on.

Inside Tip: The cul-de-sacs backing onto ravines are the premium lots in this neighbourhood, and they don't always show up in the listing photos the way they should. Drive the neighbourhood and look for the streets that dead-end into green. Those are the lots that trade at a premium and hold value best. The ravine backing also provides a privacy buffer that's rare in central Newmarket.

Summerhill Estates

Summerhill Estates sits in the southwest corner of Newmarket, bounded by Yonge Street on the east and Bathurst Street on the west. There are two parts to this neighbourhood. Summerhill North was built out in the 1990s and is fully established. Summerhill South is still developing, so new construction and amenities are still coming online. The historic Mulock Farm, dating to 1880 and once the estate of Sir William Mulock, sits in the area. The Town of Newmarket bought 11 acres of the property in 2018 for park development, so the neighbourhood's green space is actively expanding.

The housing is a mix of detached, semi-detached and townhomes. It's denser than Armitage or Stonehaven-Wyndham, but the open vistas, especially in the southern section, give it a more spacious feel than the density numbers suggest. Jim Bond Park, Whipper Watson Park, and the nearby Ray Twinney Recreation Complex handle recreation. The Summerhill Centre shopping plaza covers the retail basics.

Q1 2026 posted 18 sales at an average of $973,875 and a median of $1,032,500. The standout segment this quarter was attached/row homes: six sales at an average of $863,000 and a 99% SP/LP with just 20 days on market. Detached homes averaged $1,082,000 across ten sales at 96% SP/LP — buyers clawed back real negotiating room from the fall, when detached here sold above asking — and the detached SNLR of 30% means plenty of detached inventory is still sitting.

All prices are TRREB Q1 2026 averages

What to consider: The blended 97% SP/LP hides a split story. The attached/row segment moved at 99% of asking in 20 days — still the fastest-moving row segment in Newmarket — while detached sold at 96% with only 30% of new listings absorbed. So if you’re a detached buyer, you have leverage on the homes that have been sitting. If you’re shopping the attached segment, expect to pay close to asking and to move quickly. The semi segment posted just one sale in Q1, so lean on 2025’s numbers for that product rather than one thin quarter.

Inside Tip: Summerhill South is the investment play here. It's still developing. The Town is actively building out park space on the Mulock Farm property, and the southern section will look different in five years than it does today. If you're buying with a medium-term horizon and you want to be in a neighbourhood that's appreciating as amenities come online, this is the best bet in Newmarket right now. Just understand that you're buying into the promise, not the finished product.

Central Newmarket

Central Newmarket is the heart of the city, and it’s the most affordable neighbourhood in town, with an average price of $721,806. Main Street is the anchor. It's been a Provincial Heritage Conservation District since 2013, with architecture from the 1800s, boutique shopping, independent restaurants, and live entertainment. Riverwalk Commons hosts farmers' markets and live music. The Elman W. Campbell Museum tells the local history. Fairy Lake Park gives you trail access. This is the neighbourhood where you can actually walk to dinner, walk to the market, and walk home.

The housing stock is unique in Newmarket. Century homes sit alongside modern loft-style buildings, and this is the only neighbourhood in the city with a significant inventory of condo apartments. In Q1 2026, condo apartments averaged $534,000, with a median of $490,000 across 12 sales, at 98% SP/LP, with 67 days on market, and a 27% SNLR. Detached homes averaged $863,000 across 17 sales with 33 days on market, 97% SP/LP and a 44% absorption rate. The detached average held exactly level with the fall, and the condo market still gives buyers the most affordable entry point in the city.

The overall neighbourhood posted 32 sales in Q1, again the most of any neighbourhood in Newmarket, at an average of $721,806 and a median of $750,000. The 46-day average DOM shows buyers taking their time, but the 97% SP/LP says pricing is holding in an active, balanced market.

All prices are TRREB Q1 2026 averages

What to consider: The condo apartment segment, at an average price of $534,000, is the most affordable entry point in all of Newmarket, but the 27% SNLR and 67-day DOM indicate that inventory is building in that segment. That's room for negotiation for buyers and a test of patience for sellers. On the detached side, 33 days on market keeps this among the quicker detached markets in the city, so don’t expect well-priced detached homes here to sit around. The heritage homes carry the same warning as any century property: the character is irreplaceable, but the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems may be decades past their useful life. Inspect thoroughly and budget for the work.

Inside Tip: Central Newmarket is within walking distance of the Newmarket GO Station, a fact that gets overlooked because Newmarket isn't typically thought of as a GO-commuter town the way Aurora or Richmond Hill is. But if you work downtown Toronto and you want to take the train, being within walking distance of the station changes the daily math completely. The condo apartments near Main Street are the play for that lifestyle, and at a $490,000 median price, the entry price is hard to beat anywhere in the York Region.

Which Neighbourhood is Right for You?

Are Schools Your Top Priority?

Armitage and Stonehaven-Wyndham. Both feed Newmarket High School, which scores 8.5 out of 10 on Fraser and ranks 48th in Ontario. That's the best public secondary in Newmarket by a meaningful margin. Central Newmarket also feeds Newmarket H.S., so if you want the school catchment at a lower price point, that's your route. If a private school is part of the plan, Gorham-College Manor puts you adjacent to Pickering College, which runs JK through Grade 12 on a 42-acre campus with a day and boarding option.

Do You Want Nature and Outdoor Access?

Armitage gives you the Saint Andrews Valley Golf Club (200 acres), Bailey Ecological Park, and the Tom Taylor Trail. Huron Heights-Leslie Valley has the rolling hills and the East Holland River watershed. Bristol-London has the Mabel Davis Conservation Area and the Nokiidaa Bike Trail. All three are genuine outdoor-lifestyle neighbourhoods, not marketing descriptions.

Are You Looking for Luxury?

Stonehaven-Wyndham, specifically the Copper Hills section. At a $1,299,170 neighbourhood average and detached homes averaging $1,485,000, this is the top of the Newmarket market. Copper Hills has the newest luxury construction, French Provincial architecture, and the largest lots. Armitage, with detached homes averaging $1,229,000, is the next tier down with a quieter, more established character.

Are You a First-Time Buyer on a Budget?

Central Newmarket at $721,806 average, with condo apartments around a $490,000 median. That’s the most accessible entry point in the city. Bristol-London at $731,338 sits right beside it this quarter, with semis at $676,000 selling at 99% of asking in three weeks. If you’re stretching to detached homes, Central Newmarket’s detached segment, with an average price of $863,000, is your best bet.

Is Your Commute the Priority?

Huron Heights-Leslie Valley for Highway 404 access and proximity to the East Gwillimbury GO Station. Glenway Estates for the Newmarket Bus Terminal with GO Transit and York Region Transit connections, plus access to both the 404 and 400. Central Newmarket for walkable access to the Newmarket GO Station.

Are You Looking at Investment Potential?

Central Newmarket's condo segment is the most investable product type, with the lowest entry price, proximity to Main Street and the GO station, and a tenant pool drawn to the walkable urban feel. Summerhill Estates is the development play, with the southern section still building out and the Town investing in the Mulock Farm park property. Both are medium-term stories that make more sense with a five-year horizon than a flip.

What to Look Forward to in 2026

Newmarket's spring 2026 numbers are showing real momentum. April posted 85 sales at an average of $998,202 and a median of $944,000, with SP/LP climbing to 101% and days on market dropping to 24. That 101% SP/LP is a meaningful signal. It means homes are selling above asking price on average for the first time in months. Year-to-date through April, Newmarket has posted 243 sales at an average of $971,203 and a 99% SP/LP. The detached segment posted 53 sales in April, with an average price of $1,142,017 and a 102% SP/LP, indicating detached buyers are competing and paying over list price.

The neighbourhoods are currently divided into three groups based on Q1 tightness. Bristol-London at 99% SP/LP, and Gorham-College Manor, Huron Heights-Leslie Valley and Stonehaven-Wyndham at 98%, are the tightest markets in Newmarket. The mid-range group at 97% includes Glenway Estates, Summerhill Estates, Woodland Hill and Central Newmarket, with Armitage at 96%. The slowest pockets by DOM are Central Newmarket at 46 days and Glenway Estates at 44 — the most buyer-friendly corners of Newmarket for those who want time to negotiate and write conditions.

Here's what I'd say to anyone watching from the sidelines. The spring numbers indicate the market is tightening. When SP/LP goes from 97% in the winter quarter to 101% in April, that’s not a statistical wobble, that’s a shift. The segments that were already tight in Q1 — Bristol-London’s semis, Gorham-College Manor’s detached market, and Armitage’s 11-day detached turnover — are going to tighten further as spring demand picks up. The segments with more room, particularly the detached inventory sitting in Bristol-London, Glenway Estates and Stonehaven-Wyndham, still have a window. But windows close.
