Listed at $1,898,000 with no offer date, so the ask is the seller’s number, and homes priced this way sell close to it. My read is $1.78M, typically $1.62M to $1.91M. Comparable closings on their own put this home around $1.50M, so the ask carries a premium over the comparables: the seller is pricing in the finishes, the lot, or room to negotiate. That gap is your negotiating room.
A price cut is the likelier next move. 146 days on the market against about 38 for homes like it here, and asking 7% above where comparable closings put it. That is leverage for a buyer: offer with it in mind rather than waiting for the cut, since a reduction brings new eyes with it.
Second read, from the city assessment: $2.53M. That is about 69% above 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 $1.78M, median of 84 comparables.
The market behind the math:
About 3.5 months of inventory: 15 detached homes for sale in the area against 13 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $1,085/sqft against an area asking average of $856/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
- Walk-out basement apartment features. A finished 2 bed walk-out basement apartment. A self-contained space for extended family, guests or potential income. In Parkwoods-Donalda basements rarely rent out (8 of 86 recent detached leases were basement units), so buyers here treat a suite as family or nanny space rather than income. Value it for the living space, not the rent. Second-suite retrofit status is not verified. A buyer intending to rent should confirm requirements with the City of Toronto.
- Ravine / green setting. This home is described as backing onto a ravine or green setting. The ravine backing is priced into the comparison. How much it is really worth depends on whether the house sits on table land with the slope well behind it, or drops away right behind it, and that part is my in-person call.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
I take the 84 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 $2.53M, higher than the comparables and worth a second look.
What the listing highlights2 points to weigh
Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- Ravine lot: privacy and premium value, but confirm the buildable area and any conservation limits. Worth verifying
- Sold as-is / needs work: budget for renovation, the price should reflect the condition. Weigh carefully

Investor snapshot
About the suite: in Parkwoods-Donalda basements rarely rent out (8 of 86 recent detached leases were basement units), so the figure above does not count it as income. Buyers here use a suite as family or nanny space.
Thinking of this home as an investment? We will pull real comparable rents and run the full numbers with you.
Talk about the numbersThe last 38 whole-home leases in Parkwoods-Donalda signed at a median of $4,511 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $4,976. The gross yield above is on the asking price, before taxes and upkeep; the cap rate is after them. A finished basement or second suite can push real rent above it. Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing.
