What’s being built in Ajax
Ajax is a comparatively small new-build market with an unusually good entry price, Northgate Trails starts under $600,000, which in the current rebate environment means the full 8% Ontario rebate and, for a first-time buyer, the full federal rebate on top.
Communities that have launched or are actively selling here include:
- Northgate Trails (Lakeview)
- Lakewind (CedarOak)
- New Forest at Duffin’s Creek (Haber)
Availability changes week to week and the best lots in any phase go early, register for access and I’ll send what’s releasing here.

Builder choice matters more than most buyers expect. Delivery record, reliability on closing dates and how warranty items get handled vary enormously and appear on no price list. How to assess a builder.
What the rebates are worth at local prices
New low-rise here currently runs roughly $559,000 to $1,110,000, and that band decides your rebate position. Here is the arithmetic at both ends.
| At $559,000 | At $1,110,000 | |
|---|---|---|
| Ontario ENHR (no first-time buyer test) | $44,720 | $80,000 |
| Federal rebate (first-time buyers only) | $27,950 | $39,000 |
At the entry end, a home at $559,000 sits below $1,000,000, which means the full 8% Ontario rebate, $44,720, plus the full 5% federal rebate for a first-time buyer. This is the most favourable band in the whole structure.
The band here straddles $1,000,000, which is where the structure changes: above it the Ontario rebate stops growing and sits flat at $80,000, while the federal rebate begins tapering toward zero at $1,500,000. Two buyers in the same community can be in different places.
If you have owned a home before, note that the Ontario rebate still applies to you, it has no first-time buyer test, and move-up buyers routinely assume otherwise and claim nothing. Read this one.
These are illustrative maximums at the ends of the local range, not a quote. Run your own numbers.
Land transfer tax
Ajax is outside the City of Toronto, so you pay Ontario land transfer tax only, with no second municipal tax. Rates and the first-time buyer refund.
