Listed at $485,000, this home is about 12% above what comparable homes suggest. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
Based on 16 similar homes nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 16 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $494K, a bit higher.
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 $535K
- Adjusts to $535K
That comparable adjusts to $535K; the $435K estimate above is the median of all 16 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This uses comparable active listings, not sold prices. Lot, condition, and finishes are my in-person call, and I can run a full CMA with recent solds.
Its public catchment (Hollywood Public 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. Bayview Mews Lane is about a 1-minute walk away. Walkable, transit-friendly spots tend to hold value and widen your resale pool.

Rates and programs change often. We will connect you with a trusted mortgage professional and build a plan that fits your budget and goals.
Estimates only, not a mortgage quote or pre-approval.

Actual rates, taxes, insurance, and closing costs vary by lender and property. Confirm every number with your mortgage professional.
Investor snapshot
Thinking of this home as an investment? We will pull real comparable rents and run the full numbers with you.
Talk about the numbersEstimates only. Rent is modelled on above-grade size and local norms, so a finished basement or second suite (a separate entrance often means one) can push real rent well above this. Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing. A starting point, not a final number, let us run the real ones with you.
