My top five condos to buy in Newmarket and Aurora for 2027 are The Davis Residences at Bakerfield and The Atwood in Newmarket, and The Arbors, Centro Condos and The Ridgewood in Aurora. Newmarket’s median condo apartment sold for $490,000 from January to October 2026, down 12.8%, and Aurora’s for $583,500, down 14.8% (TRREB MLS data via REALM).
This is for anyone looking at Newmarket or Aurora condos for sale in 2027: first-time buyers, downsizers leaving a house in York Region, and parents buying for an adult child. You get my five picks, what each building offers, what condos in both towns actually sold for in 2026, and what to check before you sign.
How did I choose the best condos in Newmarket and Aurora?
Newmarket and Aurora are small condo markets. From January to October 2026, Newmarket had 51 condo apartment sales and Aurora had 48. With so few sales, the building you pick matters more than the town-wide average. I chose five buildings that cover different needs and budgets, using the building details listed on condos.ca and the TRREB sales data below:
- A mix of ages. One building registered in 2024, others from 1988 to 2018, because age drives fees, repairs and price.
- Location. Near Davis Drive in Newmarket, or near Yonge Street and Wellington Street in Aurora, where shops and transit are.
- Suite sizes. From compact one-bedrooms for first-time buyers to suites near 2,000 square feet for downsizers.
- What the fee covers. Some buildings include heat, others include air conditioning or parking.
What are condos selling for in Newmarket and Aurora in 2026?
| Town and type | Median 2024 | Median 2025 | Median 2026 | Change vs 2025 | Sales 2026 | Avg days on market |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Newmarket condo apartment | $606,000 | $562,000 | $490,000 | −12.8% | 51 | 54 |
| Aurora condo apartment | $652,500 | $685,000 | $583,500 | −14.8% | 48 | 45 |
| Newmarket condo townhouse | $812,750 | $725,000 | $680,000 | −6.2% | 44 | 32 |
| Aurora condo townhouse | $820,028 | $800,000 | $675,000 | −15.6% | 51 | 45 |
Source: TRREB MLS data via REALM, January–October of each year. Median sold prices and average days on market for each town as a whole, not for any one building.
Condo apartment prices fell hard in both towns in 2026, and suites took longer to sell: 54 days on average in Newmarket, up from 37 in 2024. For buyers, that means real room to negotiate. Aurora is the pricier town, with a median about $93,500 higher than Newmarket’s.
For renters or investors, TRREB’s Rental Market Report counted 22 one-bedroom condo leases in Newmarket in Q2 2026, at an average of $2,168 a month. Aurora had only a handful of leases that quarter, too few to give a reliable average.
1. The Davis Residences at Bakerfield, 175 Deerfield Road, Newmarket
What it is like
This is my pick for a new building. Condos.ca lists The Rose Corporation as the builder, with 16 storeys and 212 suites, and shows the corporation (YRCC 1543) registered on 1 May 2024. Amenities listed include a gym, party room, rooftop deck and guest suites. Suites range from about 597 to 1,159 square feet.
Who it suits
First-time buyers and investors who want modern finishes and a long runway before big repairs. Condos.ca lists Viva Yellow among nearby transit.
What to check
Listed monthly fees ranged from $558 to $721 when I checked in November 2026, but the page did not say what they include, so confirm heat, water and hydro. A corporation registered in 2024 is on its first budget and first reserve fund study, so read both closely and ask whether any fee increase has been announced.
2. The Atwood, 250 Davis Drive, Newmarket
What it is like
The Atwood is my pick for space. Condos.ca lists it as 11 storeys and 110 suites, registered in 1988 as YRCC 609, with suites from about 856 to 1,977 square feet. Amenities include a gym, recreation room, security guard and an underground garage.
Who it suits
Downsizers leaving a house who do not want to give up a dining room or a second bedroom. My guide to retiring in Newmarket or Aurora covers the move in more detail. The fee is listed as covering heat and water, which makes monthly costs easier to predict.
What to check
Age. A building from 1988 has likely replaced, or will soon need to replace, big items such as windows, elevators, the roof and garage membrane. The two listings I saw had fees of $971 and $1,036 a month. Ask what major work the latest reserve fund study shows over the next five years.
Condo Valuation
What’s your condo
worth today?
Three quick steps. Condos don’t price like houses — your floor, your view, and whether you own parking move the number more than anything else. This weighs all of them.

That happens constantly in condos — one has the parking, the right exposure, or a board that keeps the reserve fund healthy. A model can’t see your status certificate. I can.
3. The Arbors, 555 William Graham Drive, Aurora
What it is like
The Arbors is my pick for a newer low-rise. Condos.ca says Brookfield Homes completed it, with four storeys and 180 suites, registered in May 2018 as YRCC 1372. Listed amenities include a concierge, party room, recreation room and gym. Current listings ranged from one-bedroom suites of about 600 square feet to two-bedrooms near 1,000.
Who it suits
Buyers who prefer a smaller, quieter building. The fee is listed as covering air conditioning, building insurance and parking. Condos.ca showed an average of $691 per square foot for the building.
What to check
This building had 12 suites listed for sale when I checked, more than any other Aurora building on condos.ca. That gives you choice, but ask your agent why so many are on the market and compare recent sale prices before you offer.
4. Centro Condos, 15277 Yonge Street, Aurora
What it is like
Centro is my pick for living in the heart of Aurora. Condos.ca lists the Kaitlin Group as developer, with six storeys and 95 suites, registered in March 2017 as YRCC 1337. It sits on Yonge Street near Wellington Street. Aurora GO station, on the Barrie line, is at 121 Wellington Street East, between Yonge and Bayview.
Who it suits
Commuters and anyone who wants to walk to shops and cafés. Condos.ca lists Viva Blue among nearby routes. The fee covers building insurance, parking and water, and amenities include a concierge and bike storage.
What to check
With only 95 suites, costs are shared among fewer owners, so one big repair can move fees more than in a large tower. Current listings were 700 to 999 square feet, so larger suites are rare.
5. The Ridgewood, 180 John West Way, Aurora
What it is like
The Ridgewood is my pick for amenities. Condos.ca lists it as five storeys and 153 suites, registered in December 2010 as YRCC 1186 and managed by FirstService Residential. Amenities include an outdoor pool, concierge, guest suites and a party room, and suites range from about 591 to 2,285 square feet.
Who it suits
Downsizers who want a pool and a wide choice of layouts in a mid-sized building. The fee is listed as covering heat and water.
What to check
Listed fees ranged from $786 to $1,180 a month, so price the fee into your budget, not just the purchase price. A pool adds to running costs and future reserve fund spending.
How do these five Newmarket and Aurora condos compare?
| Building | Town | Registered | Storeys / suites | Fee includes (as listed) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Davis Residences at Bakerfield | Newmarket | 2024 | 16 / 212 | Not stated | New build |
| The Atwood | Newmarket | 1988 | 11 / 110 | Heat, water | Large suites |
| The Arbors | Aurora | 2018 | 4 / 180 | A/C, insurance, parking | Low-rise |
| Centro Condos | Aurora | 2017 | 6 / 95 | Insurance, parking, water | Walk to shops |
| The Ridgewood | Aurora | 2010 | 5 / 153 | Heat, water | Pool, amenities |

Which buildings just missed the list?
Kingsley Square at 693 Davis Drive in Newmarket was listed on condos.ca as under construction, with 15 storeys and 327 suites by Briarwood Development Group. It is worth watching if you want a new suite in Newmarket, but buying before completion carries different risks than buying resale.
In my view, Newmarket and Aurora condo buyers have more leverage going into 2027 than at any time in the last three years. Medians are down 12.8% and 14.8% from 2025, and suites are taking 45 to 54 days to sell. With so few sales, I would ignore the town median once you pick a building and instead pull every sale in that building over the last 12 months. In a small market, one motivated seller can set a price well below what the averages suggest.
What should you check before buying a condo in Newmarket or Aurora?
- The status certificate. It shows the fee, the reserve fund, any lawsuits and any special assessment. My guide to reading a status certificate covers the red flags.
- What the fee covers. Heat and air conditioning can add a lot to your monthly bill if they are not included.
- Parking and locker. Confirm whether they are owned or assigned, and that they come with the suite.
- Recent sales in the building. With about 50 condo apartment sales a year in each town, building-level sales are the best price guide.
Small buildings and older buildings can both surprise you. In a 95-suite building, a roof or garage repair is split among few owners. In a building from the 1980s, major parts may be near the end of their life. If the reserve fund looks thin against the work planned, a special assessment or a big fee jump may be coming.
What to do next
- Decide between the two towns first; my Newmarket vs Aurora comparison covers prices, taxes and commuting.
- Get pre-approved so you know your budget, including the condo fee in your debt ratios.
- Shortlist two or three buildings and pull every sale in each from the last 12 months.
- Make any offer conditional on your lawyer’s review of the status certificate.
- For the bigger picture on prices, read my Newmarket and Aurora housing market outlook for 2027.

Of my five picks, Centro Condos at 15277 Yonge Street is the most central. It sits on Yonge Street near Wellington Street, and Aurora GO station on the Barrie line is at 121 Wellington Street East, between Yonge Street and Bayview Avenue. Check the walk from the exact suite and the current GO schedule before you buy.

Two-bedroom suites averaged $2,829, but only seven were leased, so treat that figure with care. Aurora had too few condo leases that quarter to give a reliable average rent.
What should I check before buying a condo in Aurora or Newmarket?
Check the status certificate, which shows the fee, reserve fund, lawsuits and any special assessment. Then confirm what the monthly fee covers, whether parking and a locker come with the suite, and what the same building has sold for over the last 12 months. In Newmarket and Aurora, with about 50 condo apartment sales a year each, building-level sales matter most.
