Local guide
How to evaluate a Markham condo
Condominium options are concentrated around mixed-use and transit-connected parts of Markham, including Markham Centre, Unionville and Highway 7 corridors. Buildings differ in age, amenities, unit size, parking arrangements and monthly fees.
A lower purchase price does not always mean a lower monthly cost. Compare mortgage payment, condominium fees, property tax, utilities not included in fees, parking costs and expected maintenance inside the unit.
Local guide

Property comparison
Condo due-diligence checklist
Monthly fees
Understand the fee amount, what it includes and how it compares with the building’s amenities and size.
Status certificate
Have the status certificate and related condominium documents reviewed as appropriate before making a firm decision.
Parking & locker
Confirm legal ownership or exclusive-use rights, location, dimensions and any restrictions.
Building rules
Check pet, rental, renovation, smoking, move-in and other rules that matter to your intended use.
Unit condition
Review HVAC responsibility, appliances, windows, water damage indicators, alterations and maintenance history.
Local guide
Transit and location value
YRT and Viva operate on major Markham corridors and connect with GO Transit and Toronto transit. For a condo purchase, test the trip from the actual building entrance and consider walking distance, transfer points, parking access and how planned development may change the area.
Schools and condo addresses
If school access matters to your decision, confirm the exact building address with the YRDSB or YCDSB locator. Condominium developments can be assigned differently even when they are close together.
Amenities that affect monthly value
Pools, gyms, concierge service, guest suites and shared outdoor areas can add convenience but also operating and reserve-fund costs. Compare the amenities you will use with the fee structure and the building’s financial documents.
