Below comparables
$4,742/moest. value

Listed at $4,200/mo, this rental is about 11% below comparable rentals, worth a close look. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.

In Kensington-Chinatown lately, landlords have been getting about 100% of asking and homes lease in about 15 days.

Based on 98 similar rentals that recently leased nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 98 recently leased comparable homes — actual closing prices, not asks — adjusted for size, beds, and baths.

How I got there

Here is the exact math behind the estimate. I start from the closest comparable listing and adjust for the real differences (size, beds, baths) to land on a like-for-like value for this home.

  • Closest comparable, leased for $4,700/mo
  • Bathrooms −$100/mo
  • Adjusts to $4,600/mo

That comparable adjusts to $4,600/mo; the $4,742/mo estimate above is the median of all 98 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This estimate is grounded in actual lease prices from the last 15 months, not asking prices. Condition, finishes, and exact inclusions are still my in-person call.

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