Markham house prices remain strong in October as compared to last year but the rate of growth seems to have levelled out over the past few months. While the total sales vs. new listing ratio was down significantly in September, the market seems to have picked right back up in October with a 62.9% ratio as compared to just 43.1% in September.
The announcement by the provincial government to potentially allow local municipalities to charge a 2nd land transfer tax may have helped provide this spark. Those considering a move in the near future might find themselves speeding up their timelines in order to avoid the extra tax.
