Why $883K. The typical semi-detached home sold in Parkwoods-Donalda over the past year went for about $864K (38 sales). What sets this one apart:
- ▲ Raises itIts tax bill, which follows the city's own assessment, is $5,271 a year; the typical home sold here pays about $4,800.
- ▲ Raises it slightly4+1 bedrooms and 3 baths, against 3+1 and 2 typically.
Longer on the market than typical. 64 days on the market, and asking 7% above where comparable closings put it.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $883K, learned from recent GTA sales.
The market behind the math:
Price per square foot: this home lists at $730/sqft against an area asking average of $691/sqft.
- Separate-entrance basement apartment features. A finished 1 bed 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 Parkwoods-Donalda: 18 of the 65 detached leases here lately were basement units, around $1,900 a month. That makes the suite real income. 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
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 11 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $916K. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.
What the listing highlights5 points to weigh
Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- Separate entrance / basement suite: rental or in-law income potential, if it is legally registered and retrofit-compliant. Income potential
- Finished basement: added living space, worth checking ceiling height and that the work was permitted. Value driver
- Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled. Value driver
- Premium lot / gardens: lot size and privacy hold value and cannot be changed, verify frontage, depth, and any easements. Value driver
- Open-concept layout: modern, sought-after flow. Lifestyle

The assigned public school is Roywood Public School. EQAO is only one input, and families here also look at French Immersion, boundary, and private options, the full 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 ($730/sqft) is in line with the area, so you are paying for extra space rather than a premium.
There were not many closely comparable homes right in Parkwoods-Donalda, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 12 homes sold on this street over the past two years, from 83 closings in Parkwoods-Donalda.

Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing.
