SELLER INTELLIGENCE · JULY 2026 DATA
York Region & Markham Market Report: Supply Remains High as Conditions Tighten
This report separates official facts from Anjia Realty interpretation using public data from TRREB, the Bank of Canada, CREA and CMHC. It identifies what a seller should verify next; it is not an automated valuation or a price forecast.
FACTS REPORTED BY TRREB
Three geographies, one set of comparable indicators
Average and median prices describe the mix of homes sold that month. Inventory, sales-to-new-listings ratio and market time better describe choice and competition, but still do not replace property-specific comparable analysis.
| Area | Sales | Average | Median | New listings | Active | MOI | SNLR | PDOM |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Markham | 288 | $1,131,324 | $1,062,500 | 704 | 1,168 | 4.2 | 39.4% | 48 |
| York Region | 1,063 | $1,146,307 | $1,060,000 | 2,764 | 5,179 | 5.0 | 35.6% | 52 |
| Greater Toronto Area | 5,995 | $1,003,956 | $860,000 | 14,484 | 26,098 | 4.6 | 37.1% | 45 |
SNLR is the 12-month moving-average sales-to-new-listings ratio. PDOM measures property days on market across relistings. TRREB revises historical data monthly as new information is received.

Interest rates
The Bank of Canada held its target overnight rate at 2.25% on July 15, 2026. This is financing context, not the mortgage rate available to every buyer.
National sales direction
CREA reported a 0.5% month-over-month rise in national home sales in July 2026, the fourth consecutive monthly increase. A national trend does not replace local Markham or York Region evidence.
New-home supply
CMHC reported that actual Toronto housing starts were 10% lower year over year in July 2026, driven by fewer multi-unit starts. Starts inform medium-term supply discussion, not a short-term resale-price forecast.
ANJIA REALTY INTERPRETATION
How these figures change seller preparation
The points below are Anjia Realty interpretation of the public data, not official-source quotations or a guarantee of future prices.
Supply still gives buyers choices
At 4.2 months of inventory in Markham and 5.0 in York Region, many sellers still compete with substitutable homes. Price, property condition and first-screen presentation should be decided together.
Conditions tightened, but not equally for every home
TRREB described July conditions as tightening. Markham's 39.4% SNLR was above York Region's 35.6%, but property types and neighbourhoods can sit well away from those averages.
Set review points before launch
PDOM was 48 days in Markham and 52 in York Region. Sellers should decide in advance when first-round feedback, competition changes and price position trigger a review.
NEXT STEP
Narrow the regional data to your property
A property review must add neighbourhood, property type, lot, size, condition, active competition and family timing. The two local pages below explain the process.
Official sources and methodology
Figures are transcribed from the cited official sources and currency is Canadian dollars. Anjia Realty reviews this page after each new release and preserves the source month and review date.
