Listed at $2,998,000 with no offer date, so the ask is the seller’s number, and homes priced this way sell close to it. My read is $2.78M, typically $2.47M to $3.31M. Comparable closings on their own put this home around $2.28M, so the ask carries a premium over the comparables: the seller is pricing in the finishes, the lot, or room to negotiate. That gap is your negotiating room.
Second read, from the city assessment: $2.37M. 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 $2.78M, median of 39 comparables.
The market behind the math:
About 1.4 months of inventory: 17 detached homes for sale in the area against 37 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $1,090/sqft against an area asking average of $829/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
- Walk-out basement apartment features. A finished 1 bed walk-out basement apartment with a separate entrance and a second kitchen. A self-contained space for extended family, guests or potential income. Basements do rent in Willowdale East: 32 of the 231 detached leases here lately were basement units, around $2,150 a month. That makes the suite real income, and comparable-sales math under-prices it, so read the estimate as a floor. Second-suite retrofit status is not verified. A buyer intending to rent should confirm requirements with the City of Toronto.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
I take the 39 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 $2.37M, a bit lower.

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.

The suite is real income here: basements rent in Willowdale East (32 of 231 recent detached leases were basement units, around $2,150 a month). The figure above is the whole house on one lease; rented as two units, the suite alone brings about $2,150 a month on top of the upper floors. Permitted use is worth confirming with the city.
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 24 whole-home leases in Willowdale East signed at a median of $5,988 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $6,162. 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.
