Listed at $1,599,000 with no offer date, so the ask is the seller’s number, and homes priced this way sell close to it. My read is $1.56M, typically $1.42M to $1.87M. Comparable closings on their own put this home around $1.48M, which agrees with the ask, so this is a firm read.
Second read, from the city assessment: $1.80M. That is about 21% 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 $1.56M, median of 32 comparables.
The market behind the math:
About 5 months of inventory: 5 townhouse homes for sale in the area against 3 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $914/sqft against an area asking average of $794/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
- basement apartment features. A finished 1 bed basement apartment with a second kitchen. A self-contained space for extended family, guests or potential income. In Little Portugal basements rarely rent out (3 of 39 recent detached leases were basement units), so buyers here treat a suite as family or nanny space rather than income. Value it for the living space, not the rent. 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
I take the 32 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 $1.80M, a bit higher.
What the listing highlights3 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

Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal
There are only a few closely comparable homes right here, so this is a broad read from wider listings in the area. Ask me for a precise CMA before relying on it.
Based on 32 comparable homes that sold in Little Portugal over the past two years, from 44 closings there.
Nothing closely matching this home is listed nearby right now, so these are the nearest townhouse listings on the market. Homes like this one have recently closed around $1.48M, which is where my estimate comes from.
Per square foot, these ask about $794/sqft; this home lists at $914/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.

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
About the suite: in Little Portugal basements rarely rent out (3 of 39 recent detached leases were basement units), so the figure above does not count it as income. Buyers here use a suite as family or nanny space.
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 5 whole-home leases in Little Portugal signed at a median of $4,411 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $5,632. 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.
