Listed at $1,349,999 with no offer date, so the ask is the seller’s number, and homes priced this way sell close to it. My read is $1.39M, typically $1.27M to $1.53M. Comparable closings on their own put this home around $1.50M, so the seller is asking less than the comparables suggest: either they want a quick, clean sale or something about the home is not in the comparables. Worth seeing before you offer.
Second read, from the city assessment: $1.43M. Similar homes sold in line with their assessments, and this one lands close to the comparable-sales figure, which is what a firm read looks like.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.39M, median of 75 comparables.
The market behind the math:
About 4.2 months of inventory: 18 detached homes for sale in the area against 13 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $771/sqft against an area asking average of $878/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
- Separate-entrance basement apartment features. A finished 1 bed basement apartment with a separate entrance. A self-contained space for extended family, guests or potential income. In Parkwoods-Donalda basements rarely rent out (8 of 86 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.
- Park / green-space backing. The listing says this home backs onto or abuts a park or green space. That privacy is priced into the comparison. What is actually behind the fence, and how the lot sits against it, is my in-person call.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
I take the 75 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 $1.43M, a close match.
What the listing highlights4 points to weigh
Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled. Value driver
- Premium lot / gardens: lot size and privacy hold value and cannot be changed, verify frontage, depth, and any easements. Value driver
- Hardwood floors: quality hardwood is durable and broadly desirable. Lifestyle
- Transit / schools nearby: convenience and resale support, verify the exact distances and school catchment. Value driver

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.

Investor snapshot
About the suite: in Parkwoods-Donalda basements rarely rent out (8 of 86 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 27 whole-home leases in Parkwoods-Donalda signed at a median of $4,701 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $5,059. 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.
