A mortgage broker in Markham costs $0. The lender pays the broker fee when your mortgage closes. You get access to 30+ lenders without any charge. The rate through a broker is the same or better than going to your bank directly. There is no cost trade-off for using a broker in Markham.

The median detached home price in Markham is approximately $1,400,000. Townhomes range from $700,000 to $950,000. Condos along the Highway 7 corridor start in the $500,000s. Unionville and established south Markham neighbourhoods carry premiums, while newer areas in the north offer better entry pricing.

Yes. Banks offer only their own mortgage products. A broker accesses 30+ lenders and finds the best fit in one application. In Markham, where self-employment and tech income are common, broker access to lenders with flexible qualification criteria makes a meaningful difference.

For homes under $1,500,000, the minimum is 5% on the first $500,000 and 10% on the rest. On a $1,400,000 Markham home, the minimum down payment is $115,000 with CMHC insurance. For homes at $1,500,000 or above, you need a full 20%. Many Markham purchases are near or above that threshold.

Provide a mortgage broker with your income documents, employment letter, ID, and credit consent. Pre-approval takes one to two business days and locks a rate for 90-120 days. In Markham, where desirable properties attract multiple offers, having pre-approval ready is a practical necessity.

Yes. Markham has a large population of self-employed professionals, tech workers, and business owners. Mortgage brokers work with lenders who specialize in non-traditional income verification - business financials, contracts, stock compensation, and dividend income. The right lender depends on how your income is structured.

Sometimes, and the tech corridor here makes it a common question. Lenders generally want a two-year history of the income actually vesting and landing on your tax return, and they will often average it rather than use the most recent year. Unvested grants and future awards do not count. Base salary plus a documented two-year track record of vested equity is a very different application from base salary alone, so it is worth having the paperwork assembled before you apply.

Often yes. Several lenders run newcomer programs for permanent residents and some work-permit holders, typically expecting a larger down payment, proof of funds, and either Canadian credit or an acceptable international substitute. Time in Canada, status, and where your down payment came from all change which lender fits. Markham has one of the most diverse populations in the GTA and these applications are routine here, but they need to be placed with a lender that actually runs the program.

About $115,000: 5 per cent on the first $500,000 and 10 per cent on the $900,000 above it. That holds right up to $1.5 million, at which point default insurance is no longer available and the minimum jumps to 20 per cent. Markham’s median detached sits close enough to that line that a stretch on price can quietly triple the cash you need.

Cornell is often the most accessible entry point - a planned new-urbanism community near the hospital with strong schools and GO access - while Unionville commands the premium.

Yes. Markham is Canada's high-tech capital, and we handle the income structures tech workers often have - RSUs, bonuses, contract or stock comp - with lenders that understand them.
