Selling your home in Ajax

Ajax buyers are overwhelmingly commuters, which is why the team's own office is here. They price a home by its distance to the Ajax GO station and the 401 and 412 ramps first, then by the pocket: the 1940s and 1950s wartime houses of Old Ajax south of Highway 2, the 1980s and 1990s subdivisions of Central and South East Ajax, and the newer two-storeys in the northeast and northwest that came with the 407. What they check: whether a lot backs onto the Duffins Creek ravine system and sits in a TRCA regulated area, the condition of original windows in the older stock, and the schools designated by the public and Catholic boards. Prep that pays is a clean exterior, a decluttered main floor and a basement that photographs as finished space. Ajax listings do best launched mid-week ahead of a weekend when buyers tour Ajax, Pickering and Whitby in one loop.

If you are selling detached homes in Ajax, your buyer is already comparing you to the rest of Durham. They have toured the next town over on the same weekend, they know what the GO station run and the 401 on-ramp cost them in minutes, and they will notice within a few photographs whether your home was prepared or simply photographed. The Miller team works from Ajax and lists in every Durham municipality, and that regional view is the point: the price for detached homes in Ajax is set against what the same buyer could get in the neighbouring communities, not only against last season's sales on your street. The team walks the property, writes a valuation you can question, prepares a short list of fixes that Ajax buyers actually pay for, and launches on the TRREB MLS system with the timing and the offer process spelled out in writing before the first showing.
