Listed at $3,450,000 with no offer date, so the ask is the seller’s number, and homes priced this way sell close to it. My read is $3.38M, typically $2.98M to $3.63M. Comparable closings on their own put this home around $3.23M, which agrees with the ask, so this is a firm read.
Second read, from the city assessment: $2.33M. That is about 28% 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 $3.38M, median of 74 comparables.
The market behind the math:
About 0.8 months of inventory: 6 detached homes for sale in the area against 24 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $1,255/sqft against an area asking average of $1,517/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
I take the 74 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 $2.33M, lower than the comparables and worth a second look.
What the listing highlights5 points to weigh
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
- Recent major systems: lower near-term capital costs, ask for the ages and any warranties. Value driver
- Hardwood floors: quality hardwood is durable and broadly desirable. Lifestyle
- Transit / schools nearby: convenience and resale support, verify the exact distances and school catchment. Value driver
- Sold as-is / needs work: budget for renovation, the price should reflect the condition. Weigh carefully
Schools & getting aroundcatchment and transit
On schools, this address is zoned for Leaside High School, one of the higher-rated public schools in the area. A strong catchment tends to hold value and widen your resale pool, especially with family buyers.

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 numbersThe last 20 whole-home leases in Leaside signed at a median of $9,529 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $9,811. 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.
