Listed at $1,198,888. Recent sales of homes like it put this one around $1.09M, so the ask is about 10% above what similar homes have sold for.
If it sells at this ask, expect about $1.19M, typically $1.15M to $1.25M: that is where homes here have closed against their asks in the last 90 days (20 closings).
Longer on the market than typical. 115 days on the market against about 27 for homes like it here, and asking 10% above where comparable closings put it.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.09M, learned from recent GTA sales.
The market behind the math:
About 2.3 months of inventory: 15 detached homes for sale in the area against 20 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $436/sqft against an area asking average of $432/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
- basement apartment features. A finished 2 bed basement apartment with a second kitchen. A self-contained space for extended family, guests or potential income. Basements do rent in Northwest Ajax: 38 of the 127 detached leases here lately were basement units, around $1,800 a month. That makes the suite real income, and comparable-sales math under-prices it, so read the estimate as a floor. Second-suite retrofit status is not verified. A buyer intending to rent should confirm requirements with the Town of Ajax.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
This figure comes from a model built on about 44,000 recent GTA sales. It weighs this home’s tax assessment, size, age, location and features against what homes like it actually sold for, including sales in this neighbourhood.
It never sees the asking price. The 110 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $1.08M. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.

Investor snapshot
The suite is real income here: basements rent in Northwest Ajax (38 of 127 recent detached leases were basement units, around $1,800 a month). The figure above is the whole house on one lease; rented as two units, the suite alone brings about $1,800 a month on top of the upper floors. Permitted use is worth confirming with the city.
Thinking of this home as an investment? We will pull real comparable rents and run the full numbers with you.
Talk about the numbersThe last 25 whole-home leases in Northwest Ajax signed at a median of $3,479 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $3,571. The gross yield above is on the asking price, before taxes and upkeep; the cap rate is after them. A finished basement or second suite can push real rent above it. Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing.
