5 luxurious houses that just sold in Uxbridge, Pickering and Whitby

People looking to purchase a home in the GTA are looking at high prices no matter where they choose to settle, but the Durham region is more affordable overall, with the average cost of housing (all types combined) sitting at $907,997 as of last month.

But while places like Oshawa, Brock and Clarington offer more affordable homes, the region still has some more luxurious properties selling well above the $1 million mark.
