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, listed at $2,800/mo
- Bathrooms +$100/mo
- Adjusts to $2,900/mo
That comparable adjusts to $2,900/mo; the $3,050/mo estimate above is the median of all 33 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This uses comparable active listings, not leased-deal prices. Condition, finishes, and exact inclusions are my in-person call.
The assigned public school is Orde Street Public School. EQAO is only one input, and families here also look at French Immersion, boundary, and private options, the full breakdown is below.
