Listed at $799,000, and my independent estimate is within the range of comparable homes, on the lower side.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $939K, median of 6 comparables.
The market behind the math:
Price per square foot: this home lists at $888/sqft against an area asking average of $844/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
I take the 6 most comparable recent listings 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 listing.
It’s grounded in comparable active listings. Lot, condition, and finishes are my in-person call, and the city (MPAC) assessment points to about $1.18M, higher than the comparables and worth a second look.
What the listing highlights3 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
- 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
The assigned public school is Niagara Street Junior 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
The listing states size as a wide range, so the size adjustment is approximate and this estimate is a rough read. I can confirm exact square footage to tighten it.
There were not many closely comparable homes right in Niagara, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 6 comparable homes nearby.
Nothing closely matching this home is listed nearby right now, so these are the nearest townhouse listings on the market.
Per square foot, these ask about $1,061/sqft; this home lists at $888/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.

Rates and programs change often. We will connect you with a trusted mortgage professional and build a plan that fits your budget and goals.
Estimates only, not a mortgage quote or pre-approval.

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.
