Moe’s TakeTeam Asgarian · Broker
Above the wider set
$1,826/moest. value

Listed at $2,200/mo, this rental is tracking about 20% above a wider set of rentals, though close matches were thin, so treat this as a rough read until I run a precise CMA. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.

There are only a few closely comparable homes right here, so this is a broad read from wider listings in the area. Ask me for a precise CMA before relying on it.

Based on 28 similar rentals nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 28 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The comparable range is wide here, so treat this as a rough read until I run a full CMA.

How I got there

Here is the exact math behind the estimate. I start from the closest comparable listing and adjust for the real differences (size, beds, baths) to land on a like-for-like value for this home.

  • Closest comparable, listed at $1,700/mo
  • Bedrooms +$150/mo
  • Adjusts to $1,850/mo

That comparable adjusts to $1,850/mo; the $1,826/mo estimate above is the median of all 28 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This uses comparable active listings, not leased-deal prices. Condition, finishes, and exact inclusions are my in-person call.

Its public catchment (Pleasant View Middle School) tests around the provincial average, a steady, family-friendly draw. The full EQAO breakdown is below.

On location, this is a very walkable address with everyday errands close by. Sheppard Ave East at Settlers Rd is about a 2-minute walk away. Walkable, transit-friendly spots tend to hold value and widen your resale pool.

What the listing highlightsThese are claims from the listing. The only way to know for sure is to see it in person, and I am happy to book you a private showing.

  • Separate entrance / basement suite: rental or in-law income potential, if it is legally registered and retrofit-compliant.
  • Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled.
