Listed at $11,500,000. My estimate lands at $5.99M, so the ask sits about 92% 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. 85 days on the market against about 38 for homes like it here, and asking 92% 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: $9.98M. That is about 67% 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 $5.99M, median of 45 comparables.
The market behind the math:
About 1.8 months of inventory: 11 detached homes for sale in the area against 18 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $2,300/sqft against an area asking average of $1,850/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
- Walk-out basement apartment features. A finished 1 bed walk-out basement apartment. A self-contained space for extended family, guests or potential income. In Rosedale-Moore Park basements rarely rent out (2 of 83 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.
- 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 45 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 $9.98M, higher than the comparables and worth a second look.
What the listing highlights3 points to weigh
Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- Pool: lifestyle appeal, but adds maintenance, insurance, and resale is mixed. Weigh carefully
- Premium lot / gardens: lot size and privacy hold value and cannot be changed, verify frontage, depth, and any easements. Value driver
- Sold as-is / needs work: budget for renovation, the price should reflect the condition. Weigh carefully

Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal
There were not many closely comparable homes right in Rosedale-Moore Park, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 45 comparable homes that sold in Rosedale-Moore Park over the past two years, from 151 closings there.
Nothing closely matching this home is listed nearby right now, so these are the nearest detached listings on the market. Homes like this one have recently closed around $5.99M, which is where my estimate comes from.
Per square foot, these ask about $2,638/sqft; this home lists at $2,300/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.

Investor snapshot
About the suite: in Rosedale-Moore Park basements rarely rent out (2 of 83 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 15 whole-home leases in Rosedale-Moore Park signed at a median of $15,802 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $17,546. 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.
