Estimated Monthly Budget
Things to Confirm Before Signing
· Are utilities included, or separate?
· How many parking spots are included?
· Is the landlord open to a 1-year or 2-year lease?

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Above Market Rent
At $9,800/mo, this is asking above the typical 4-bedroom rent of ~$4,200/mo in Markham. That premium needs to be justified — newer finishes, included parking, a premium location, or utilities included. I'll help you assess whether it's worth it or whether there's room to negotiate.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Markham's current market, desirable homes often receive multiple offers within 5-7 days. If you're seriously interested, I recommend booking a showing immediately. However, never let urgency override due diligence - we'll still do proper inspections.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Markham are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
Larger Home Realities
At 3,500 sqft, this is a substantial home. Budget approximately $400-600/month more for utilities compared to an average-sized home. Maintenance costs scale with size too - roof, HVAC, and cleaning all cost more. That said, space is a luxury that's hard to add later, and larger homes often have better resale in family-oriented neighbourhoods.
Family-Friendly Layout
4 bedrooms hits the sweet spot for most families. You'll have room for 2-3 children plus a home office or guest room. This is the most sought-after configuration for families relocating to Markham. Good resale value as demand remains consistent.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 6 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
