Judging value above $1 million in Ajax
Once the price passes a million, the differences between houses in Ajax are mostly about land and light. Two houses with the same plan can sit on a walk-out ravine lot and on a compact interior lot, and the sale prices will not be close, so decide early how much you value the yard. Check how old the mechanical systems are on a nineties house, because a new roof, furnace and windows may already be in the price, or may be your first year's spending. In Pickering Village, a character house near the old main street can carry a heritage listing, which affects exterior changes, and a larger lot may fall inside TRCA's regulated zone along Duffins Creek. In Central East, the eighties houses in this range have usually been renovated, and the question is whether the work was permitted. At every price here, the team can run the sales of the same model on the same street.
