Markham Real Estate Questions, Answered
The most common questions Salima gets from Markham buyers, sellers, and investors. If your question isn’t here, contact Salima directly.
Is Markham a good place to buy real estate right now?
Yes, for buyers who have a five-year or longer view. Prices have corrected from the 2022 peak. But the fundamentals, tech jobs, immigration, good schools, and an approved subway extension, are still firmly in place. The key is picking the right neighbourhood and the right property type. That’s where local expertise makes a real difference.
What is the average home price in Markham in 2026?
Detached homes average around $1.42M based on current TRREB data. Townhomes and semis start from about $750K. Luxury detached homes in Cachet and Unionville regularly go above $2M. Keep in mind that prices vary a lot by neighbourhood. The same style of home can differ by $150K or more depending on the street and school catchment.
What should I ask a Markham real estate agent before I hire them?
Ask how many Markham deals they’ve done in the past 12 months. Ask for their sales-to-list ratio. Ask how they handle financing questions. Ask how they priced their last listing. Ask what they think will drive Markham prices over the next five years. The answers will tell you quickly whether you’re talking to someone with real local knowledge or just a general GTA agent.
How does Salima's background help Markham buyers?
Markham buyers tend to be financially sharp. They want to understand the numbers, not just see the listing. Salima’s 7 years as a mortgage specialist means she can talk carrying costs, financing structures, and stress test scenarios directly.

Yes. Salima works with residential and commercial investors across Markham and GTA East. That includes income properties, commercial units, and franchise opportunities. Her mortgage background helps her evaluate whether a commercial deal actually makes financial sense before you commit.
