🔍 Why Markham Reflects the Broader GTA Market

Markham’s real estate offers a snapshot of GTA-wide dynamics:

  • Luxury resilience (Angus Glen, Bayview Glen)

  • Transit-driven growth (Greensborough, Cornell)

  • Family affordability tension (Berczy Village, Unionville)

It’s a microcosm of where buyers are going when Toronto prices stretch their budgets — and where many GTA investors are putting long-term capital.
