$468Kest. value

Listed at $468,000, and my independent estimate is right in line with comparable homes.

In Cabbagetown-South St. James Town lately, sellers get about 95% of asking; homes sell in ~31 days · prices down 11% YoY.

List price
$440KGreat deal$483KOverpriced

Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $468K, median of 5 comparables.

How this estimate is builtthe short version

I take the 5 most comparable recent sales nearby and adjust each one to this home for the real differences (size, beds, baths, garage, and standout features), 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 $496K, a close match.

Based on 5 comparable homes that recently sold nearby.

Rates and programs change often. We will connect you with a trusted mortgage professional and build a plan that fits your budget and goals.

Let's connect

Estimates only, not a mortgage quote or pre-approval. Figures use Canadian semi-annual compounding, current minimum down-payment rules, CMHC premium tiers, and Ontario (plus Toronto, when selected) land transfer tax. Actual rates, taxes, insurance, and closing costs vary by lender and property. Confirm every number with your mortgage professional.

Talk about the numbers

Estimates 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.
