- FOREST HILL REAL ESTATE INC.
Listed at $4,395,000. Going by how homes in Annex and the wider GTA have actually closed against their asking prices (about 98%, 5 local closings in 90 days), the likely sale price is near $4.30M, if it sells. A realistic range is $4.03M to $4.84M.
Independent value check: no figure for this home. Going only by the sales record, our model lands more than 25% below the ask. At that distance an automated figure has rarely been close to the eventual sale price, so we are not printing one. The usual reason is something the record cannot show: a rebuild, a second unit, or a lot or setting unlike the homes around it.
Longer on the market than typical. 96 days on the market against about 16 for homes like it here, and asking 76% above where comparable closings put it.
Total price vs nearby homes. Likely closing about $4.30M, from 5 recent closings in this pocket.
The market behind the math:
About 4.8 months of inventory: 8 detached homes for sale in the area against 5 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $1,034/sqft against an area asking average of $1,610/sqft.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
This figure comes from a model built on about 44,000 recent GTA sales. It weighs this home’s tax assessment, size, age, location and features against what homes like it actually sold for, including sales in this neighbourhood.
It never sees the asking price. The 5 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $2.99M. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.

Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- Sold as-is / needs work: budget for renovation, the price should reflect the condition. Weigh carefully
Schools & getting aroundcatchment and transit
Its public catchment (Jesse Ketchum Junior and Senior Public School) tests around the provincial average, a steady, family-friendly draw. The full EQAO breakdown is below.
Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal
Priced above comparable homes overall, but the price per square foot ($1,034/sqft) is below the area, so you are paying for extra space rather than a premium.
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 Annex, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 5 comparable homes that sold in Annex over the past two years, from 54 closings there.

Investor snapshot
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 33 whole-home leases in Annex signed at a median of $2,922 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $3,945. 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.
