Same building & next door

217 spent six months on the market last year across three separate listings, from $648,888 down to $580,000, without a sale. This analysis rebuilds the number from the ground up: verified sales in your building and the tower next door, adjusted for floor level, parking, locker, and timing, plus a look at exactly what's competing for the same buyer today.

Who we are

Foundry Realty

Three things guide every file we work: staying personal through a process that can feel anything but, being a source you can trust when the numbers get complicated, and letting data, not guesswork, guide the decisions that matter most.

This analysis is built the same way every recommendation is: from verified sales data, not assumptions.

1707 and 321 are in your building. 603 and 509 are in the tower next door at 1 Uptown Dr, a similar-vintage sister building with a comparable but not identical amenity set. Date adjustments are drawn from Markham condo apartment price data, which bottomed in February 2026 and has been recovering since.

05 · The Number

Market value range

$560,000–$570,000
Recommended list price
2025 list · expired
$530K $600K

The full comparable range runs $545,000–$585,000. Same-building sales alone support the upper half of that, $570,000–$585,000, but 217's square footage is builder-sourced and larger than the MPAC-verified figures for comparable units in your own building, worth flagging before anchoring at the top end. $560,000–$570,000 balances the two.

06 · Active Listings

What's competing for the same buyer

Watch 1103 and 223. They're the cheapest entry points in the building right now. 1103 has cut price four times since May; 223 just relisted two days after terminating a higher attempt. Both could pull budget-driven buyers before they reach 217.
705 and 808 support the floor. Both have sat above $549,000 for over a month with no sale, evidence the market isn't currently supporting pricing above the low $500s in this building.

This is a planning tool, not financial or tax advice. It models one path through many uncertain variables: condo prices, market returns, mortgage rates, and tax rules can all move differently than assumed here. Confirm mortgage penalty, commission, and tax specifics with your lender, brokerage, and accountant before making a decision.

Let's find the right path forward.
