Listed at $3,688,000. My estimate lands at $2.02M, so the ask sits about 83% above what comparable sales suggest. A gap that wide can point to premium finishes, a bigger lot, or simply an ambitious ask, so it is worth a close look at what justifies it before you offer. Treat the figure as a starting point: tell me you are interested and I will pull the most comparable recent sales and give you a straight answer on what it will really take.
Second read, from the city assessment: $3.08M. That is about 53% 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 $2.02M, median of 50 comparables.
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 $1,639/sqft against an area asking average of $1,168/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
- Walk-out basement apartment features. A finished 2 bed walk-out basement apartment. A self-contained space for extended family, guests or potential income. Basements do rent in Bayview Village: 20 of the 136 detached leases here lately were basement units, around $2,000 a month. That makes the suite real income, and comparable-sales math under-prices it, so read the estimate as a floor. Second-suite retrofit status is not verified. A buyer intending to rent should confirm requirements with the City of Toronto.
- Ravine / green setting. This home is described as backing onto a ravine or green setting. The ravine backing is priced into the comparison. How much it is really worth depends on whether the house sits on table land with the slope well behind it, or drops away right behind it, and that part is my in-person call.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
I take the 50 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 $3.08M, 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.
- Ravine lot: privacy and premium value, but confirm the buildable area and any conservation limits. Worth verifying
- Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled. Value driver
- Primary suite: a key comfort and resale feature. Lifestyle
Schools & getting aroundcatchment and transit
On schools, this address is zoned for Earl Haig Secondary 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.

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
The suite is real income here: basements rent in Bayview Village (20 of 136 recent detached leases were basement units, around $2,000 a month). The figure above is the whole house on one lease; rented as two units, the suite alone brings about $2,000 a month on top of the upper floors. Permitted use is worth confirming with the city.
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 35 whole-home leases in Bayview Village signed at a median of $5,057 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $5,453. 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.
