Markham’s citywide asking price is a compromise, not a typical home. Current listings have a $988,000 median, and 46.7% ask $1 million or more. Almost nobody is shopping “the median.” They are shopping a condo or a house.
The monthly line climbed from $878,950 in January to a spring range above $1 million, then eased to $1,000,000 in August. Mid-September printed $1,050,000. The citywide number kept crossing back and forth over $1 million because the mix kept changing.

The June through mid-September split is the map. Condo/apartment listings had a $598,000 median. Townhomes were $945,000. Detached homes were $1,443,000. That detached premium over condos is about $845,000. It is the difference between an entry purchase and a family-house purchase in the same city.
| June–September 2026 home type | Sale listings | Median listed asking price |
|---|---|---|
| Condo/apartment | 504 | $598,000 |
| Townhome | 361 | $945,000 |
| Detached | 930 | $1,443,000 |
Watch March through June if you want the million-dollar version of Markham, and July–August if you want the version that printed at or just under $1 million. Those months are not a crash. They are the citywide mix sliding when more condos and townhomes enter the sample. The detached median of $1,443,000 did not follow the citywide line down to a round million. The condo median of $598,000 never visited it.
That is why a Markham saved search without a home-type filter is a noisy feed. Pair it with Vaughan if you want the neighbouring York Region crossing story, or with Toronto if the $598,000 condo budget is really a downtown-or-Markham choice. Renters who want the same geography without buying can start with GTA condo rental trends.
