Access private real estate listings in the GTA before they hit MLS — condos, detached homes, and investment properties.
Off-market property in Toronto 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.
Toronto buyers pay both Ontario's and Toronto's Land Transfer Tax — totalling over $32,000 on a $1M purchase. Off-market commission savings of $40,000–$50,000 more than offset this entirely.
With detached homes averaging over $1.4M and condos over $700K, every percentage point matters in Toronto. Off-market deals let you avoid the 10–20% premium that competitive bidding regularly adds to MLS prices.

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.
Assignment sales (pre-construction contracts), estate sales in premium neighbourhoods, rent-controlled multiplex exits, and luxury homes in Bridle Path, Forest Hill, and Rosedale are Toronto's most active off-market segments. Sellers in these categories consistently prefer private channels.
Toronto buyers pay both Ontario's provincial LTT and the city's MLTT. On a $1M Toronto purchase, combined taxes total approximately $32,200. Off-market commission savings ($40,000–$50,000) more than cover this — making private transactions financially superior even accounting for both transfer taxes.
Yes — almost exclusively. Developers typically restrict public advertising of assignment sales. Pre-construction assignment sellers need a private channel to find qualified buyers before their building completes. OffMarketMatch is that channel.
Less competitive than MLS, but serious buyers still move quickly. A motivated seller with a well-priced property on OffMarketMatch will attract qualified interest within days. The difference is you're negotiating one-on-one rather than competing against 15 other bidders.
Yes. Landlords exiting rent-controlled Toronto multiplexes frequently sell privately to avoid disrupting tenants and the scrutiny of public listing. These properties — often with below-market rents that scare retail buyers — are exactly what experienced investors seek through private channels.
