Above comparables
$464Kest. value

Listed at $549,999, this home is about 19% above what comparable homes suggest. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.

In Cabbagetown-South St. James Town lately, sellers have been getting about 95% of asking and homes sell in about 28 days. Prices are down 11% versus a year ago.

Based on 29 similar homes that recently sold nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 29 recently sold comparable homes — actual closing prices, not asks — adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $598K, higher than the comparables and worth a second look.

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, sold for $375K
  • Bedrooms +$15K
  • Bathrooms +$8K
  • Adjusts to $398K

That comparable adjusts to $398K; the $464K estimate above is the median of all 29 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This estimate is grounded in actual closing prices from the last 15 months, not asking prices. Lot, condition, and finishes are still my in-person call.

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.
