$469Kest. value

Listed at $469,000, this home is right in line with comparable homes. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.

In Kensington-Chinatown lately, sellers have been getting about 96% of asking and homes sell in about 34 days.

Based on 50 similar homes that recently sold nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 50 recently sold comparable homes — actual closing prices, not asks — adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $422K, a close match.

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, sold for $520K
  • Adjusts to $520K

That comparable adjusts to $520K; the $469K estimate above is the median of all 50 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This estimate is grounded in actual closing prices from the last 15 months, not asking prices. Lot, condition, and finishes 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.

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.

  • Open-concept layout: modern, sought-after flow. Lifestyle
  • Hardwood floors: quality hardwood is durable and broadly desirable. Lifestyle
  • Sold as-is / needs work: budget for renovation, the price should reflect the condition. Weigh carefully

Let's connect

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.
