.. because of differing prices. a 400 square foot condo in Toronto is much more valuable than one in Markham. If you were to compare a $300,000 property in Toronto to a $300,000 property in Brampton, the people in Brampton will pay more. The average speaks volumes as well, the average person in Toronto pays less, its that simple. how hard is it to understand? just because Brampton has differing housing types doesn't devalue the fact that the average person in Toronto pays much less than the average person in Brampton.
