Frequently asked questions
Is Scarborough really cheaper than the rest of Toronto?
Yes, across much of it. E09 averaged $662,672 in April 2026, well under the $1,091,761 City of Toronto average, which is why Scarborough draws first-time buyers and families priced out elsewhere. Districts closer to the lake or the city centre run higher. (TRREB Market Watch, April 2026.)
What kinds of homes does Scarborough offer?
A broad mix: detached homes on large lots, townhomes, and a growing supply of condos around Scarborough Town Centre and future transit. That variety means district averages span a wide range, so comparing like-for-like matters. (TRREB Market Watch, April 2026.)
How do Scarborough closing costs compare with the 905?
Scarborough is inside Toronto, so buyers pay both Ontario's land transfer tax and the city's Municipal Land Transfer Tax, unlike neighbouring Pickering or Markham in the 905, where only the provincial tax applies. First-time buyers can recover up to $8,475 combined. (City of Toronto; Ontario Ministry of Finance.)
