Durham wins this one. Swipe and see for yourself.
Every home in this carousel is a freehold end-unit townhome with 3 bedrooms and a garage, sold this October across ten GTA cities. Same type of home. Durham is where your money goes the furthest.
Oshawa: $690,000 for 1,797 square feet.
Pickering: $730,000 for 1,488 square feet.
Whitby: $800,000 for 1,767 square feet.
Ajax: $805,000 for 1,801 square feet.
The four Durham homes averaged about $756,000. The other six averaged about $899,000. That’s roughly $142,000 back in your pocket for the same kind of home.
Now look at Toronto. $1,000,000 bought 1,610 square feet on a 13.81 foot wide lot. The Oshawa home is bigger, sits on a lot nearly twice as wide, and cost $310,000 less.
Break it down by price per square foot and the three best values on this list are all in Durham. Oshawa at about $384, Ajax at about $447 and Whitby at about $453. Toronto comes in at about $621.
An end unit in Durham gives you the feel of a semi, with more light, more privacy and a side yard, without paying extra for the postal code.
If you own in Toronto, Peel or Halton right now, Durham is where your equity works hardest. Whether your family needs more room or you’re ready to simplify with money left over, this is where your next chapter goes further.
Which Durham home would you pick?
