Listed at $1,475,000, and my independent estimate is about 22% above what comparable homes suggest.
In Little Portugal lately, sellers get about 97% of asking; homes sell in ~34 days.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.21M, median of 11 comparables.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
I take the 11 most comparable recent sales nearby and adjust each one to this home for the real differences (size, beds, baths, garage, and standout features), 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 $1.03M, a bit lower.

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
- Upscale kitchen: a genuine value driver, verify the appliances, stone, and finishes in person. Value driver
- Tall ceilings: they transform how a home feels, worth confirming the actual heights room to room. Worth verifying
- Sold as-is / needs work: budget for renovation, the price should reflect the condition. Weigh carefully

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 numbersEstimates only. Rent is modelled on above-grade size and local norms, so a finished basement or second suite (a separate entrance often means one) can push real rent well above this. Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing. A starting point, not a final number, let us run the real ones with you.
