What this means if you're buying in Markham
Market conditions shape the negotiation; your income, debts and the stress test decide what you can actually borrow. The tech employment base makes stock compensation a recurring feature of applications here, and it is the part lenders are most conservative about — RSUs and options are frequently excluded or heavily discounted, so a household that feels well-paid can qualify for less than expected. Sort out which parts of your compensation are usable before you set a budget. Markham also moves quickly enough that a real pre-approval matters: a short financing condition is only a considered risk if your file is already underwritten.
