Listed at $4,795,000. Going by how homes in Lawrence Park South and the wider GTA have actually closed against their asking prices (about 97%, 20 local closings in 90 days), the likely sale price is near $4.64M, if it sells. A realistic range is $4.35M to $5.23M.
Independent value check: $5.57M. Without looking at the asking price, our model values the home itself about 16% above the ask (homes like it typically land between $5.22M and $5.84M).
Why $5.57M. The typical detached home sold in Lawrence Park South over the past year went for about $2.75M (107 sales). What sets this one apart:
- ▲ Raises it stronglyIts tax bill, which follows the city's own assessment, is $25,202 a year; the typical home sold here pays about $13,600.
- ▲ Raises it stronglyIt is 3,500 to 5,000 sq ft; the typical home sold here is 2,000 to 2,500.
- ▲ Raises it2 garage and 8 total parking spaces, against 1 and 3 typically.
- ▲ Raises it6 bedrooms and 5 baths, against 4+1 and 4 typically.
Total price vs nearby homes. Likely closing about $4.64M, from 20 recent closings in this pocket.
The market behind the math:
About 0.9 months of inventory: 6 detached homes for sale in the area against 20 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $1,128/sqft against an area asking average of $1,717/sqft.
- Ravine / green setting. This home is described as backing onto a ravine or green setting. A premium that comparable-sales math under-prices, so read the estimate as a floor.
- Inground pool. Priced into the comparison on the assumption it is clean and modern. A pool costs more to build than resale pays back, and condition is the in-person call.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
This figure comes from a model built on about 44,000 recent GTA sales. It weighs this home’s tax assessment, size, age, location and features against what homes like it actually sold for, including sales in this neighbourhood.
It never sees the asking price. The 20 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $4.28M. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.
What the listing highlights5 points to weigh
Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- Ravine lot: privacy and premium value, but confirm the buildable area and any conservation limits. Worth verifying
- Pool: lifestyle appeal, but adds maintenance, insurance, and resale is mixed. Weigh carefully
- Premium lot / gardens: lot size and privacy hold value and cannot be changed, verify frontage, depth, and any easements. Value driver
- 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 Lawrence Park Collegiate Institute, 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.
There were not many closely comparable homes right in Lawrence Park South, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 20 comparable homes that sold in Lawrence Park South over the past two years, from 205 closings there.
Nothing closely matching this home is listed nearby right now, so these are the nearest detached listings on the market. Homes like this one have recently closed around $5.57M, which is where my estimate comes from.
Per square foot, these ask about $1,529/sqft; this home lists at $1,128/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.
