Moe’s TakeTeam Asgarian · Broker
Worth a personal read

Heads up: the asking price here sits well above what comparable listings suggest. That can point to premium finishes, a bigger lot, or simply an ambitious ask, so it is worth a close look before you offer. I would not put an automatic figure on this one. 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.

The assigned public school is Inglenook Community School. EQAO is only one input, and families here also look at French Immersion, boundary, and private options, the full breakdown is below.

On location, this is a very walkable address with everyday errands close by. Queen St East at Sackville St is about a 1-minute walk away. Walkable, transit-friendly spots tend to hold value and widen your resale pool.

What the listing highlightsThese are claims from the listing. The only way to know for sure is to see it in person, and I am happy to book you a private showing.

  • Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled.
  • Recent major systems: lower near-term capital costs, ask for the ages and any warranties.
  • Upscale kitchen: a genuine value driver, verify the appliances, stone, and finishes in person.
  • Tall ceilings: they transform how a home feels, worth confirming the actual heights room to room.
  • Hardwood floors: quality hardwood is durable and broadly desirable.

Estimates only, not a mortgage quote or pre-approval.

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.
