The short answer

Selling a house in Markham usually takes six to twelve weeks from preparation to a firm deal, then 30 to 90 days to close. You will pay real estate commission plus HST (always negotiable), legal fees, any mortgage penalty and preparation costs. In September 2026 Markham homes sold at about 98 percent of list price in an average of 34 days, according to TRREB. Start with a valuation and a net proceeds estimate.

Your Selling Timeline

  1. Week 1: valuation and plan. We review recent sales near you, your goals and your timing.
  2. Weeks 1 to 3: preparation. Repairs, decluttering, cleaning and staging, in the order that matters.
  3. Week 3 or 4: photos and launch. Photography, video and floor plans, then the listing goes live with a full marketing plan.
  4. Weeks 4 to 8: showings and offers. We review every offer with you, including deposit, conditions and closing date.
  5. Firm deal to closing: 30 to 90 days. Your lawyer handles title and the mortgage payout; you plan the move.

Documents to Gather

  • Your deed or the legal description of the property
  • Latest property tax bill and utility costs
  • Mortgage statement and lender contact
  • Permits and warranties for renovations, roof, furnace and windows
  • Survey, if you have one
  • For condos: the declaration, rules and recent status certificate information

Mistakes to Avoid

  1. Pricing on hope. Price from the homes that compete with yours, not the highest sale on the street.
  2. Listing before you are ready. The first two weeks bring the most attention. Do not waste them on an unprepared home.
  3. Ignoring the net. A higher offer with heavy conditions can be worth less than a clean one.
  4. Buying first without a plan. Read Should You Sell First or Buy First in Markham?.

Selling Your House, Answered

How do I sell my house in Markham?

Get a valuation from recent sold comparables, prepare and stage the home, launch with professional photos and full marketing, then negotiate the strongest overall offer. Most homes go from preparation to a firm deal in six to twelve weeks.

How much does it cost to sell a house in Markham?

Plan for real estate commission plus 13 percent HST (always negotiable), legal fees and disbursements, any mortgage penalty, and preparation costs. Use the calculator on this page for an estimate.

Do I need to stage my house to sell it?

Not always, but presentation affects price. Staging is usually worth it for vacant homes and key rooms like the living room, kitchen and primary bedroom.

Can I sell my house as is in Markham?

Yes. Selling as is can make sense when a home needs major work or time is short. See our guide to selling a house as is.

How long after accepting an offer do I get paid?

You receive your proceeds through your lawyer on closing day, which is usually 30 to 90 days after the deal becomes firm.
