Our TakeTeam Asgarian · Broker
Worth a closer look
$2.82Mest. value

Listed at $4,200,000. My estimate lands at $2.82M, so the ask sits about 49% above what comparable sales suggest. A gap that wide can point to premium finishes, a bigger lot, or simply an ambitious ask, so it is worth a close look at what justifies it before you offer. Treat the figure as a starting point: tell me you are interested and I will pull the most comparable recent sales and give you a straight answer on what it will really take.

A price cut is the likelier next move. 113 days on the market against about 37 for homes like it here, and asking 49% 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: $3.07M. Similar homes sold in line with their assessments, and this one lands close to the comparable-sales figure, which is what a firm read looks like.

Price per square foot: this home lists at $988/sqft against an area asking average of $756/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.

  • Walk-out basement apartment features. A finished 2 bed walk-out basement apartment with a second kitchen. A self-contained space for extended family, guests or potential income. Basements do rent in Willowdale East: 32 of the 231 detached leases here lately were basement units, around $2,150 a month. That makes the suite real income, and comparable-sales math under-prices it, so read the estimate as a floor. Second-suite retrofit status is not verified. A buyer intending to rent should confirm requirements with the City of Toronto.
How this estimate is builtthe short version

I take the 59 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 $3.07M, a close match.

What the listing highlights4 points to weigh

Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.

  • Heated floors: comfort and a premium-finish signal. Lifestyle
  • Tall ceilings: they transform how a home feels, worth confirming the actual heights room to room. Worth verifying
  • Primary suite: a key comfort and resale feature. Lifestyle
  • Hardwood floors: quality hardwood is durable and broadly desirable. Lifestyle
Schools & getting aroundcatchment and transit

On schools, this address is zoned for Hollywood Public School, 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.

Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal

The listing states size as a wide range, so the size adjustment is approximate and this estimate is a rough read. I can confirm exact square footage to tighten it.

Based on 59 comparable homes that sold in Willowdale East over the past two years, from 214 closings there.
