Listed at $1,649,000 with no offer date, so the ask is the seller’s number, and homes priced this way sell close to it. My read is $1.66M, typically $1.55M to $1.85M. Comparable closings on their own put this home around $1.67M, which agrees with the ask, so this is a firm read.
Second read, from the city assessment: $1.28M. That is about 23% below the comparable-sales figure. When my two methods disagree this much, the answer usually sits between them and something about this home is not in the comparables (the lot, the condition, a rebuild). I would want to see it before leaning on either number.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.66M, median of 45 comparables.
The market behind the math:
About 0.4 months of inventory: 5 detached homes for sale in the area against 35 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $1,268/sqft against an area asking average of $1,231/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
- Park / green-space backing. The listing says this home backs onto or abuts a park or green space. That privacy is priced into the comparison. What is actually behind the fence, and how the lot sits against it, is my in-person call.
- Inground pool. Priced into the comparison on the assumption it is clean and modern. A pool costs more to build than resale pays back, and condition is the in-person call.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
I take the 45 most comparable recent sales nearby and adjust each one to this home for the real differences (size, beds, baths, garage, lot frontage, a ravine backing, an inground pool), then use the median, which is steadier than leaning on any single sale.
It’s grounded in recent closing prices, not asking prices. Lot, condition, and finishes are my in-person call, and the city (MPAC) assessment points to about $1.28M, lower than the comparables and worth a second look.
What the listing highlights5 points to weigh
Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled. Value driver
- Pool: lifestyle appeal, but adds maintenance, insurance, and resale is mixed. Weigh carefully
- Premium lot / gardens: lot size and privacy hold value and cannot be changed, verify frontage, depth, and any easements. Value driver
- Hardwood floors: quality hardwood is durable and broadly desirable. Lifestyle
- Transit / schools nearby: convenience and resale support, verify the exact distances and school catchment. Value driver
Schools & getting aroundcatchment and transit
On schools, this address is zoned for Claude Watson School for the Arts, one of the higher-rated public schools in the area. A strong catchment tends to hold value and widen your resale pool, especially with family buyers.
Based on 45 comparable homes that sold in Willowdale East over the past two years, from 212 closings there.
Nothing closely matching this home is listed nearby right now, so these are the nearest detached listings on the market. Homes like this one have recently closed around $1.67M, which is where my estimate comes from.
Per square foot, these ask about $1,231/sqft; this home lists at $1,268/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.
