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.
Ask Moe if this price is fairIts public catchment (McMurrich Junior Public School) tests around the provincial average, a steady, family-friendly draw. The full EQAO breakdown is below.
On location, this is a very walkable address with everyday errands close by. Christie St at Benson Ave is about a 2-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.
- Finished basement: added living space, worth checking ceiling height and that the work was permitted.
- Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled.
- Garden / laneway suite potential: extra-unit upside, but confirm zoning and feasibility with the city.

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.

Rates and programs change often. We will connect you with a trusted mortgage professional and build a plan that fits your budget and goals.
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.
Investor snapshot
Income potential: the basement has a separate entrance, which often supports a rentable in-law or second suite. That can lift real rent well above the figure above and help carry the mortgage. Ask us about permitted use in this area.
Thinking of this home as an investment? We will pull real comparable rents and run the full numbers with you.
Talk about the numbersEstimates 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.
