Listed at $3,998,000 with no offer date, so the ask is the seller’s number, and homes priced this way sell close to it. My read is $3.78M, typically $3.63M to $4.37M. Comparable listings on their own put this home around $3.28M, so the ask carries a premium over the comparables: the seller is pricing in the finishes, the lot, or room to negotiate. That gap is your negotiating room.
Second read, from the city assessment: $3.85M. That is about 17% above 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 $3.78M, median of 9 comparables.
The market behind the math:
About 2.1 months of inventory: 26 detached homes for sale in the area against 38 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $941/sqft against an area asking average of $806/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
- Corner lot. Two street frontages: more to landscape, shovel and mow, and more exposure to traffic, wind and headlights at night. Buyers price that against an interior lot on the same street, so I read this one on the cautious side and confirm the setting in person.
- Walk-up basement. Extra light, usable space, and income potential, so the estimate is a conservative floor for it.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
I take the 9 most comparable recent listings 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 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 $3.85M, a close match.

Schools & getting aroundcatchment and transit
On schools, this address is zoned for Hollywood Public 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.
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.

Affordability & Mortgage
Income needed assumes a ~32% GDS ratio; weekly is mortgage principal & interest only. Price ÷ income is the home price over the income needed. Fixed reference assumptions so listings compare on equal footing, not a lending decision.

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 38 whole-home leases in Willowdale East signed at a median of $7,746 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $7,903. 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.
