Markham Real Estate & Homes for Sale
Markham is one of the GTA’s most established suburbs and York Region’s largest municipality (about 338,500 people, a city since 2012): a strong technology employment base led by IBM, top-ranked schools, and housing that ranges from Unionville’s heritage Main Street to the modern subdivisions of Wismer, Cornell and Berczy. Five GO stations on the Stouffville line and Highways 407 and 404 work well for commuters. Families with a long-term lens treat it as a hold – well-located Markham has historically been resilient on resale. Lina Fridman, Broker with RE/MAX Realtron, works across York Region. Here is what buyers and sellers need to know.
