You’re just talking about ownership of a title right?
A deed contains a lot more information than the owner. Mine is 4 pages long. Contains a map of the street, various easements, et cetera.

Yeah, but that kind of data would be better in an auxiliary database. There’s no reason to include it in the blockchain.

well but doesn’t that beat the purpose of using the blockchain in the first place? why not just store all in the auxiliary database?

Depends on why you want to use the blockchain, I guess. If you want a system to allows anyone to verify ownership of property without 3rd parties (government, etc) being involved then the auxiliary database should work fine.
What purpose were you thinking of, that would be defeated by an aux DB?
