Discover private real estate opportunities across the GTA and all of Ontario — not publicly listed on MLS.
Off-market property in Ontario is property marketed through private channels rather than a public MLS listing. Search by location, budget and property type. Check price evidence, financing and condition before making an offer.
Ontario accounts for 40% of all Canadian real estate transactions — making it the country's largest off-market opportunity by volume.
Ontario's combination of high home prices, Land Transfer Tax, and fierce competition on public listings makes off-market access more valuable here than anywhere else in Canada. Finding the right property before it hits MLS can save you $30,000–$80,000 compared to a competitive bidding situation.

An off-market property is one that is available for purchase but not publicly listed on MLS (Multiple Listing Service) or Realtor.ca. The seller is transacting privately — through a platform like OffMarketMatch, a personal network, or direct outreach — to reach qualified buyers without public advertising. Off-market properties are completely legal to buy in Canada.
Buying off-market means access before competition: you find the property before it's flooded with offers, negotiate directly with the seller, and often secure better terms than a public bidding situation allows. Estate sales, landlord exits, and motivated sellers frequently transact privately — these are the deals serious investors seek.
Verify your identity → Set your Buy Box (property type, price range, location, investment criteria) → Get matched with sellers whose properties fit your criteria → Sign an NCNDA → View full property details → Make an offer through the Deal Room → Close with your lawyer. The entire process is private, structured, and tracked.
Set up your criteria once, and Deal Hunter's AI automatically scans new listings every 6 hours and delivers matches to your inbox. No daily searching required. A 90+ match score with motivation signals typically means the property won't last 72 hours — Deal Hunter puts you first in line.
Yes. Estate sales, rent-controlled landlord exits, divorce dispositions, and high-net-worth sellers who value privacy all regularly transact off-market. In the GTA alone, thousands of properties change hands annually without ever appearing on public MLS.
Yes. Mortgage lenders in Canada don't care how you found the property — they assess the borrower and the property. Off-market buyers secure financing just like MLS buyers. Your lawyer handles the same title transfer and lender registration process.
OffMarketMatch verifies seller identity through Plaid KYC before any listing goes live. You can also request proof of ownership documentation before making an offer. Transactions close through licensed real estate lawyers who independently verify clean title.
Ontario's provincial LTT ranges from 0.5% to 2.5% of purchase price. Toronto adds a municipal LTT on top. Off-market commission savings (typically $28,000–$50,000 on an $800K property) effectively offset these taxes, making your total acquisition cost lower than a commission-plus-tax MLS purchase.
The GTA (Toronto, Mississauga, Hamilton) has the highest volume. Ottawa, London, Kingston, Belleville, and Peterborough all have active off-market segments. Rural Ontario and cottage country (Muskoka, Prince Edward County) also see substantial private transactions for recreational properties.
