The data is clear: GTA buyers are choosing houses over condos in 2026. Here is why the "Freehold Pivot" is real. 🏡📊

In May 2026, freehold townhome sales rose 17.1% while condo apartment prices fell 6.4%. The divergence between these two segments is defining the current market.

So, what’s driving this shift?
📍 Affordability: The cost to "trade up" from a condo to a freehold home has shrunk significantly.
📍 Financing: New 30-year amortization rules and expanded insured mortgage caps are opening doors for buyers.
📍 End-Users: With investors retreating from condos, the market is now dominated by families who prioritize space and private yards.

Markham’s communities from Wismer to Cornell are at the heart of this native freehold market.

The "fundamentals" of Box Grove are becoming undeniable. Here is why it’s Markham’s next neighbourhood to watch. 📈🏠

Every few years, a neighbourhood steps into the spotlight because the value it delivers is simply too good to ignore. Box Grove is at that inflection point.

Why am I placing my buyer clients here intentionally?
📍 Value: 3% discount compared to the Markham average.
📍 Speed: Homes move in 18 days informed buyers are already pouncing.
📍 Quality: Executive builds by Arista Homes on significantly larger lots than Cornell or Wismer.
📍 Nature: Within a 10-minute walk of the Rouge National Urban Park trailhead.

As a Markham real estate expert, I look for these undervalued opportunities before the rest of the market catches on.

Why pay a "new construction premium" when you can get the same lifestyle for $200k less? 💰🏠

Many buyers are flocking to the Little Rouge townhome development for the nature and the "new" feel. But savvy buyers are looking directly next door at Greensborough.

In my latest blog post, I break down the "Value Case" for Greensborough:
📍 Resale townhomes starting in the $650k range.
📍 Immediate possession with zero pre-construction risk.
📍 The powerful "GO Train Walkability" advantage (Mount Joy GO).
📍 Access to some of Ontario’s top-ranked schools.

As a CPA and Markham real estate expert, I specialize in finding these market anomalies where you get more for your money.
