Ontario

Markham is one of the strongest family rental markets in Ontario. Top rated schools draw long term tenants. The IBM and tech corridor draws professional families. We market to both groups with different listing strategies. Average tenancy in Markham is longer than the GTA core which makes good placements compound in value.
