Listed at $2,295,000 with no offer date, so the ask is the seller’s number, and homes priced this way sell close to it. My read is $2.24M, typically $2.09M to $2.44M. Comparable closings on their own put this home around $2.12M, which agrees with the ask, so this is a firm read.
Second read, from the city assessment: $2.16M. Similar homes sold in line with their assessments, and this one lands close to the comparable-sales figure, which is what a firm read looks like.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $2.24M, median of 9 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 $835/sqft against an area asking average of $1,222/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
I take the 9 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 $2.16M, a close match.
Schools & getting aroundcatchment and transit
Its public catchment (Jesse Ketchum Junior and Senior Public School) tests around the provincial average, a steady, family-friendly draw. The full EQAO breakdown is below.
Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal
There were not many closely comparable homes right in Annex, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 9 comparable homes that sold in Annex 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 $2.12M, which is where my estimate comes from.
Per square foot, these ask about $1,222/sqft; this home lists at $835/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
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 Annex signed at a median of $10,393 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $9,193. 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.
