Listed at $2,300,000 with no offer date, so the ask is the seller’s number, and homes priced this way sell close to it. My read is $2.28M, typically $1.89M to $2.72M. Comparable closings on their own put this home around $2.23M, which agrees with the ask, so this is a firm read.
Second read, from the city assessment: $1.17M. That is about 48% below the comparable-sales figure. When my two methods disagree this much, the answer usually sits between them and something about this home is not in the comparables (the lot, the condition, a rebuild). I would want to see it before leaning on either number.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $2.28M, median of 8 comparables.
The market behind the math:
About 3.2 months of inventory: 15 detached homes for sale in the area against 14 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $1,769/sqft against an area asking average of $1,714/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
I take the 8 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 $1.17M, lower than the comparables and worth a second look.
