If you live in Buttonville and you have not checked your home's value lately, here is the honest truth - your city assessment is probably lying to you. Not on purpose. It is just old. The HonestDoor Price is the real-world number you actually want, and right now it is telling an interesting story about your street.
Let us break it down by property type, because houses and condos are telling two very different stories right now.
If you own a house in Buttonville, here is the headline: buyers are still paying over asking. The one house that sold recently went for 107.71% of list price. That means a home listed at $1,699,000 sold for roughly $1,830,000. That is not a typo. Sellers are winning at the negotiating table.
Here is the part worth paying attention to though. The predicted market value for houses sits at $1,701,430, and that number is drifting slightly below the 3-month moving average of $1,707,321. Property values have also dipped 1.60% recently. The market is not falling - it is taking a breather. On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Buttonville houses rank 11 out of 14 for growth in Markham. That is a below-average position right now. Days on market rank is a solid 2 out of 7, meaning homes here move faster than most. And on price, we sit at 3 out of 8 - above average. So we are expensive and we sell fast, but we are not leading the pack on appreciation right now.
Here is something most people in Buttonville are not talking about yet: condos are quietly outperforming. While the HonestDoor Price for condos has dipped 4.09% to $725,631, the predicted market value of $756,543 is actually climbing above the 3-month moving average of $740,823. That gap matters. It suggests the short-term dip may already be reversing.
On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Buttonville condos rank 2 out of 14 for growth in Markham. That is a top-performer position. And that No. 1 Airbnb rank across all of Markham is not nothing - if you are sitting on a condo here and wondering about short-term rental income, the data says Buttonville is the best spot in the city for it.
Your city assessment was calculated using data that is already months - sometimes over a year - old by the time it lands in your mailbox. It does not know that a house on your street just sold for 107% of asking. It does not know that condo values are ticking back up. It is a snapshot of the past.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. It pulls from actual sales, current listings, and live market signals. For Buttonville house owners, that means a current read of $1,741,272 - not whatever number the city last stamped on your file. For condo owners, it means seeing the recovery trend before it becomes common knowledge.
If you are making any financial decision - refinancing, selling, even just understanding your net worth - the HonestDoor Price is the number to start with. Your assessment is for tax purposes. Your HonestDoor Price is for real life.
Here is the straight answer. If you own a house and you have been thinking about listing, the conditions are still in your favour. Homes are selling in 14 days and buyers are paying above asking. That is a good environment to be a seller. The slight softening in predicted values is worth watching, but it is not a red flag - not yet.
If you own a condo, the timing question is more interesting. Values dipped, but the trend is reversing and the growth rank of 2 out of 14 in Markham suggests momentum is building. Selling into a recovering market can work well if you move before the broader market catches on.
Either way, the move right now is to get your HonestDoor Price and compare it to what similar properties are actually listing for. That gap - between your current value and what buyers are willing to pay - is where your decision lives.
Buttonville is not the cheapest corner of Markham. But it sells fast, it prices well, and right now the condo side is quietly climbing the leaderboard. That is worth knowing before your neighbour figures it out first.
