Listed at $4,500/mo, this rental is about 28% above what comparable rentals suggest. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
In Lawrence Park North lately, landlords have been getting about 100% of asking and homes lease in about 19 days. Rents are down 1% versus a year ago.
The listing states size as a wide range, so the size adjustment is approximate and this estimate is a rough read. I can confirm exact square footage to tighten it.
There were not many closely comparable homes right in Lawrence Park North, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 40 similar rentals that recently leased nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 40 recently leased comparable homes — actual closing prices, not asks — adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The listing gives square footage as a wide range, so the size adjustment (and this estimate) is approximate; confirming exact size would sharpen it.
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 $4,246/mo
- Adjusts to $4,246/mo
That comparable adjusts to $4,246/mo; the $3,513/mo estimate above is the median of all 40 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.
On schools, this address is zoned for Lawrence Park Collegiate Institute, one of the higher-rated public schools in the area. A strong catchment tends to hold value and widen your resale pool, especially with family buyers.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $3,513/mo, median of 40 comparables.
