Pre-mover mailing lists for the GTA
A mailing list of GTA homes that have just gone up for sale, from fresh real estate listings updated every week. The people living in them are about to move, and before they go they will hire movers, book cleaners and painters, and sort out internet and insurance for the new place.
102,942 mailable homes across the GTA in the last 12 months. Every address passes a Canada Post check, starts with a street number and belongs to a real home, so every piece you mail has a door to land at.
A pre-mover list for the GTA is a list of mailing addresses for homes that have just been listed for sale. When a house goes on the market, the household is weeks away from a move. That is when they choose a mover, get quotes for repairs and painting, and set up services at the new address. A postcard or letter that lands in that window gets read.
Every week we capture new residential listings across the GTA and follow each home until it comes off the market. Every address is checked against Canada Post address data, and only mailable addresses go into a list. This page covers the Greater Toronto Area: the City of Toronto and the regions of Peel, York, Durham and Halton.
What's in a GTA pre-mover list
Every list has the mailing address of each home:
- Street address and unit number
- City, province and postal code
With Plus you also get details about the home itself:
- The date it came on the market, and the date it came off
- Whether it is new, still for sale or off the market
- Asking price, bedrooms and bathrooms, exactly as listed
- Type of home and floor size, exactly as listed
No names, phone numbers or email addresses. Lists are delivered as a CSV file, ready for your printer or Canada Post.
Just listed and off market mailing lists
Just listed: homes that came on the GTA real estate market in the weeks you choose. The household is getting ready to move, so this is the list for movers, cleaners, stagers, painters and anyone who helps people get out the door.
Off market: homes that have just come off the GTA market. Many have a new owner on the way, who will be shopping for renovations, furniture, landscaping, internet and insurance.
Both lists come from the same fresh weekly listings data, so you can mail either one, or both.

Choosing your part of the GTA
Take the whole region, one or more cities, or only the postal areas you serve. Postal areas are the first three characters of a postal code, such as M5V, L5B or L7A. You can also draw a radius around your own postal code, and narrow by price, bedrooms or type of home.
If you want fewer homes than the count, choose the newest listings first or a spread across your whole area.
Price
Standard lists are $150 per 1,000 homes and Plus lists $250 per 1,000, with a minimum order of $75 (500 homes). That's 15¢ an address for Standard and 25¢ for Plus. Each list is licensed for one mailing by your business.
PreMovers.ca is run by BrightCat Data Ltd., which has collected weekly Canadian listing data since 2014. The same homes are tracked week after week, with the dates to show it.

The whole Greater Toronto Area: the City of Toronto (including North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, York and East York) and the regions of Peel, York, Durham and Halton. The biggest markets are Toronto, Mississauga and Brampton.
Can I mail only part of the GTA?
Yes. Choose one or more cities, postal areas by their first three characters (for example M5V, L5B or L7A), or a radius around your own postal code. You can also choose by price, bedrooms and type of home.
How fresh is the list?
Updated every week, so a home is on the list within a week of going up for sale, sometimes the very next day.
How much does a list cost per address?
Standard lists are $150 per 1,000 homes and Plus lists $250 per 1,000, with a minimum order of $75 (500 homes). That's 15¢ an address for Standard and 25¢ for Plus. Each list is licensed for one mailing by your business.
Are names or phone numbers included?
No. You get the mailing address and details about the home, never a name, phone number or email. Most mailers address the piece to "The Homeowner" or "Current Resident".
Is a pre-mover list allowed under Canadian privacy law?
The lists hold property addresses only, with no names, phone numbers or email addresses. Data handling is consistent with PIPEDA, and the lists are mailed through Canada Post.
Can I get a list of GTA homes that just came off the market?
Yes. Choose off market homes and the dates you want. In the last 12 months 86,136 mailable GTA homes came off the market. They suit businesses that serve new owners, such as renovators, landscapers, home security, furniture stores and insurance.
What do new, still for sale and off market mean?
New homes came on the market in the dates you pick. Still for sale homes were listed earlier and are still on the market. Off market homes are no longer listed; we date them by the first week they were gone.
