Listed at $3,599,000 with no offer date, so the ask is the seller’s number, and homes priced this way sell close to it. My read is $3.52M, typically $2.85M to $3.87M. Comparable closings on their own put this home around $3.32M, which agrees with the ask, so this is a firm read.
Second read, from the city assessment: $3.33M. 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.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $3.52M, median of 57 comparables.
The market behind the math:
About 1.3 months of inventory: 10 detached homes for sale in the area against 24 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $1,309/sqft against an area asking average of $1,437/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
- Ravine / green setting. This home is described as backing onto a ravine or green setting. A premium that comparable-sales math under-prices, so read the estimate as a floor.
- 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 57 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 $3.33M, a close match.
What the listing highlights5 points to weigh
Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- Finished basement: added living space, worth checking ceiling height and that the work was permitted. Value driver
- Ravine lot: privacy and premium value, but confirm the buildable area and any conservation limits. Worth verifying
- Upscale kitchen: a genuine value driver, verify the appliances, stone, and finishes in person. Value driver
- Pool: lifestyle appeal, but adds maintenance, insurance, and resale is mixed. Weigh carefully
- Primary suite: a key comfort and resale feature. Lifestyle

Affordability & Mortgage
Income needed assumes a ~32% GDS ratio; weekly is mortgage principal & interest only. Price ÷ income is the home price over the income needed. Fixed reference assumptions so listings compare on equal footing, not a lending decision.
