Read live from the listing board and refreshed through the day. Ajax has more listings than one page returns, so the medians describe the 100 most recently listed homes rather than the whole market. These are asking prices. What a home actually sells for is a different number, and the one that matters if you are selling.

What Ajax is actually like

Ajax is a lakeside Durham town with an unusually good waterfront: several kilometres of continuous parkland and trail along the lake, most of it public. Housing is largely postwar through to newer subdivisions, and detached homes remain reachable for first-time and move-up buyers.
